The pool tiger story begins back almost 30 years ago. Gary Powell had an engineering Project in Ecuador. A project to build an aquaculture facility to grow Tilapia and Prawns. After the ponds were dug and filled with water he needed to ensure the purity of the water. Drawing upon some research obtained in previous projects he built his earliest cavitation device and was amazed at the results obtained.

Later in the week an oil engineer from Petro Ecuador came by and asked him where the oil floating on the water surface had come from. Gary showed him the device and he asked Gary to try in on an oil separation tank. It worked amazingly well.

After Gary returned to the USA, he began a search to understand exactly what had occurred. During his search for answers, he obtained a book called the 4TH Phase of water by Dr. Geral Pollack and with this information he designed and built the first generation of Hydro Dynamic water processors.

First one went to his children’s swimming pool, the second to a device for making snow. Take a look at You Tube Polar Vortex Blizzard snow making. And you can see the results.

At a cost of approximately $20 million, Gary developed a solution to the waste water problem that was based on a little-known phenomenon called “Hydrodynamic Cavitation.” The apparatus devised to harness this phenomenon was comprised of several massive Pool Tiger-like units plumbed in series.  

“It was amazing. Black water would go in one end and what came out on the other end was as clear as bottled water.”

Not long after returning from Ecuador, Gary began to consider other applications for his invention. One day while staring into his backyard swimming pool, a crazy thought came to him.  

“It seemed to me that if Hydrodynamic Cavitation could clean the filthy water that came out of oil wells, it might do the same thing for water in swimming pools.”

So, Gary adapted his invention, building his first unit out of PVC components he found at a plumbing supply store. Just as he had predicted, the thing actually worked. Before long, friends began to ask him to build water cleaning units for them. And so, he did.

Ever the scientist, Powell monitored the effects on his own pool and those of his friends and soon realized that despite variations in pool design, pool construction, source water and other conditions, all of the units provided consistently positive results. Every pool required fewer chemicals and still featured crystal clear water.  

Gary also noticed that something produced by these units seemed to be removing buildup and staining from pool surfaces. This, he determined, was structured water, a subject with which he had become familiar upon reading the book, The Forth Phase of Water, by a University of Washington professor, Dr. Gerald Pollock . So not only was his device cleaning water, it was actually cleaning the pool itself!

This, he realized, had profound commercial possibilities. He also realized that of all the executives he had served with in a consulting capacity many would realize the future of this technology.

The new company would be called Polar Vortex LLC after the first product it produced. This metal unit, which utilized the same Hydrodynamic Cavitation principles found in Pool Tiger, was marketed to ski resorts for snowmaking. It produced 75% more snow than conventional snowmaking machines using the same amount of water. During preparations to market Pool Tiger, Gary elected to keep the name and make Pool Tiger a company dba.  

Pool Tiger was officially released to the public on March 31, 2017. Gary quickly discovered that such a wonderful product needed a staff of special managers to assure the products success. Most recently Bernard Allen Bey has joined the company as CEO. Bernard has a long and successful history in sales, marketing and business development. He and Gary have also worked well together on past projects.

Today Pool Tigers are sold all across the U.S., Canada and Europe. The company’s dealers include Blue Haven Pools, the largest pool building company in the U.S., as well as a variety of builders, service companies, pool stores and fiberglass manufacturers.  

Recently we have been joined by Fernando Flores of Madrid, Spain. Fernado joined as 2 years ago as a Rep for distribution of Pool Tiger and its subsidiary products on the international market. Currently he has accepted the role of media consultant and international sales development.

As the company moves forward the applications and effects of structured water continue to find applications in Industry and agriculture.
