AuguryA New Way to Keep Pools Clear: Aquadei Teams with Master Pool Guild to Push Oxygenated Systems

Move to promote chlorine-free pools starts with training and distribution
Aquadei Technologies said this week it has struck a formal alliance with the Master Pool Guild to roll out its oxygenated and ozone pool systems across the Guild’s network of pool builders and service professionals. The announcement is meant to spark wider use of a sanitation approach that relies on oxygen-based chemistry and ozone rather than heavy chlorine, and it centers on training, certification and supply partnerships to make adoption easier.
What the partnership will do for installers and pool shops
Under the agreement, Aquadei will work directly with the Master Pool Guild to train and certify Guild members to install, operate and service its oxygenated/ozone systems. The program will include classroom and field training, technical support lines for installers, and joint marketing aimed at homeowners who want alternatives to traditional chlorine systems.
The scope is practical rather than global: the focus is on the Guild’s established network of builders and service pros, with initial outreach concentrated where the Guild already has a strong presence. Aquadei plans to provide certified parts and supply chains to members, while the Guild will integrate Aquadei’s training into its continuing-education offerings. The arrangement is framed as a partnership rather than a franchise — Guild members will be able to choose whether to offer Aquadei systems alongside other options.
For Aquadei, the deal gives a direct channel to which it can offer hardware, replacement parts and support. For the Master Pool Guild, the draw is clear: a vetted, non-chlorine system to present to customers who complain about smell, eye irritation or chemical handling. Both sides say the goal is to lower the friction for builders who want to offer the technology without a long learning curve.
How the oxygenated and ozone system differs from standard pool treatment
Aquadei’s approach pairs oxygen-based sanitizers with an ozone generator. In plain terms, ozone is a very reactive form of oxygen that can break down organic matter and neutralize bacteria. The system uses ozone as a primary disinfectant and an oxygen-based residual sanitizer to keep the water in balance. That contrasts with a standard chlorine setup, which relies on steady chlorine levels to both disinfect and maintain a chemical residual.
The practical differences users notice are simple: less chlorine odor, fewer red eyes and often a softer feel to the water. Technically, the system reduces the need for high, continuous doses of chlorine, though it doesn’t eliminate the need for occasional chemical adjustments. Aquadei also points to patents on how it controls ozone delivery and maintains a safe residual level — a key point when installers must meet local health rules and electric codes.
Voices from both sides and outside reaction
Aquadei’s chief executive described the alliance as a way to give builders a tested, certified path to offer chlorine-light pools. The Master Pool Guild emphasized that members can add the systems without overhauling their businesses. Independent industry watchers said the deal makes sense: training and supply are the usual roadblocks to wider use of alternative chemistries, and a Guild-backed program removes much of that resistance.
Some pool professionals cautioned that ozone systems can be pricier up front and require careful maintenance to deliver the promised benefits. Their point: the tech can shine when installed and serviced correctly, but poor installs or skimpy aftercare can blunt the advantages.
What this means for pool owners and the trade
For homeowners, the alliance should make it easier to buy a pool that uses less chlorine — or to retrofit an existing pool if the local builder or service tech is certified. Expect clearer sales pitches from builders who get accredited, and a likely rise in local shops stocking parts and replacement modules. That will help lower one of the biggest adoption barriers: availability of trained service and spare components.
For the trade, the deal is a test of demand. If customers embrace the softer feel and lower chlorine smell, more builders will add the option. If the higher upfront cost or extra maintenance scares buyers off, the systems may remain a niche. Either way, the partnership removes the guesswork for pros who were waiting for a vetted supplier and a reliable training program before they committed.
In short, the alliance doesn’t revolutionize pool care overnight, but it does lay down a clear path for builders and service pros who want to offer a chlorine-light alternative — and that could nudge the market toward cleaner, less smelly pools over the next few seasons.
