Pentair Honored for Innovation by Business Intelligence Group

Pentair has a proud legacy of providing innovative solutions to help address some of the biggest water and environmental challenges facing the world. I am pleased to share that our dedication to innovation was recently honored with Pentair receiving a 2025 Innovation Award from Business Intelligence Group. 

Recognizing trailblazers across industries since 2011, this prestigious awards program honors the visionaries, products, and organizations that are revolutionizing the world with bold innovation.

At Pentair, we innovate with sustainability in mind, aiming to create products and solutions that reduce total environmental impact. Through our three business segments, we are well-positioned to help solve some of the world’s toughest water challenges: Pentair Flow delivers solutions to move water where it’s needed and removes water from where it’s not wanted; Pentair Water Solutions helps improve water quality and taste; and Pentair Pool enables people to enjoy water, more safely and sustainably. 

Here are a few notable recent innovations across our businesses:  

  • Pentair Flow - Launched a ground-breaking advancement in wastewater pumps with the launch of the Pentair Xcentric Impeller, featuring a unique bladeless design. By eliminating the traditional leading edges on the impeller blade, the Xcentric Impeller helps to address a major challenge facing municipalities around the world – persistent clogging of wastewater pumps from fibrous solids such as disposable baby and cleaning wipes, which results in the pump needing to be shut down and cleaned manually.  
  • Pentair Water Solutions - Introduced new Everpure PFAS filtration systems to help reduce PFAS contaminants in water for both commercial and residential applications. PFAS are human-made chemicals found in various products and known for their environmental persistence and that are posing a growing concern.   
  • Pentair Pool – Offered a collection of connected pool solutions designed to help customers enjoy a smarter and more energy efficient pool including the ENERGY STAR-certified IntelliFlo3 Variable Speed and Flow Pool Pump, the IntelliBrite Architectural Series Lights and IntelliCenter Pool Control System.  

I want to thank our global innovation, technology, sustainability, and business teams for their efforts and commitment to advancing product design that helps drive value for our customers while positively impacting the Pentair business, people and the planet.
