Pentair Pool
Equipment
Pumps, filters, salt chlorinators, automation, and lighting from one of the world's leading pool equipment manufacturers. Stocked and supported at Ridd's Aqua Centre in Roodepoort.
Built for Performance
Pentair is a global leader in water technology. Their pool equipment range covers everything from pumps and filters to salt chlorinators, automation systems, and LED lighting. Every product is engineered for efficiency, durability, and quiet operation.
In the South African context, their variable speed pumps are particularly relevant. With Eskom tariffs increasing year on year, a variable speed pump is one of the smartest investments a pool owner can make. It adjusts its output automatically, running at lower speeds during routine filtration and ramping up only when needed.
We stock Pentair pumps, filters, chlorinators, and automation at our Roodepoort branch. Our team sizes every component to your pool's specific requirements so nothing is over-specced or under-powered.

EnquirePentair FAQ
Is a Pentair variable speed pump worth the cost in South Africa?
Yes. Eskom tariffs have been increasing at above-inflation rates for years. A variable speed pump running at low speed uses a fraction of the electricity of a single speed pump. Most customers see the price difference paid back within 12 to 18 months through lower electricity bills alone.
What is the advantage of a Pentair salt chlorinator?
A salt chlorinator generates chlorine from dissolved salt in your pool water. You add salt once, and the system produces chlorine continuously. This means less money spent on granular chlorine, softer water that is gentler on skin and eyes, and more consistent sanitisation. The salt cell typically lasts 3 to 5 years before replacement.
Can Pentair automation work with my existing pool equipment?
In most cases, yes. Pentair automation systems are designed to integrate with existing pumps, chlorinators, and lighting. We assess your current setup and advise on compatibility before recommending a system.
How does Pentair compare to other pool equipment brands?
Pentair is a premium international brand with a strong reputation for build quality and innovation. Their variable speed pumps and automation systems are among the best available in South Africa. For budget-conscious buyers, we also stock Quality brand equipment which offers excellent value at a lower price point.
