Canada-based Carvin Pool Equipment and CCEI North America have entered a strategic partnership to integrate connected automation technology into aboveground pool systems, strengthening product innovation within the manufacturing sector for water systems and industrial equipment.

Pool Magazine reported that the collaboration brings together Carvin’s pool manufacturing and distribution capabilities with CCEI’s TILD automation platform to deliver integrated smart pool systems for the US market.

The partnership combines Carvin’s established supply chain and manufacturing expertise with CCEI’s app-based control technology, enabling centralised management of heating, filtration, lighting and chemical dosing systems.

The integrated system is designed to simplify installation processes and improve operational efficiency for pool professionals and end users across the residential and commercial segments.

CCEI’s TILD platform allows users to control multiple pool functions through a single application, reflecting growing demand for connected industrial and consumer water management technologies.

Martin Grenier, sales manager at CCEI, said: “CCEI is committed to the growing demand for our products in the U.S. market.”

He added: “We are excited to partner with Carvin’s extensive presence in the U.S. to bring the CCEI automation system to more U.S. pool professionals and consumers.”

The partnership leverages Carvin’s North American distribution network alongside CCEI’s European-developed automation systems to expand market penetration in the United States.

Tony Guagliardo, vice president US sales at Carvin Pools, said: “We know that the U.S. consumers purchasing Carvin Pools wants to control everything with an app on their phone.”

He added that the TILD system provides a simple and affordable automation solution designed to enhance user experience and operational control.

Future development plans include expansion into water treatment solutions, further integrating hardware and digital control systems within a unified product ecosystem.
