Savannah-based start-up Pool Protection Technologies recently won both the Audience Choice Award and the Grand Prize at the BizPitch Columbus competition, securing $16,000 in funding. The company, founded by Garrett Stigall, has developed a groundbreaking product called S.A.M. that uses ultrasonic technology to target algae in residential pools, reducing chemical usage and maintenance costs. With the new funding, PPT plans to accelerate growth, create job opportunities in Savannah, and meet the rising demand for sustainable pool care solutions in Georgia and beyond.

The success of PPT at BizPitch Columbus highlights Savannah’s role as a hub for innovative start-ups and green technology. By reducing chemical dependency in pools by up to 70%, S.A.M. aligns with Savannah’s commitment to environmental responsibility and public health. With over 30,000 hours of testing and successful trials, S.A.M. has proven to be reliable and effective, offering a cleaner and safer swimming environment for Savannah residents.

Pool Protection Technologies is dedicated to revolutionizing pool maintenance with its eco-friendly solutions. The company’s success at BizPitch Columbus, hosted by StartUP Columbus, demonstrates the importance of supporting and showcasing emerging entrepreneurs in the region. PPT’s expansion plans not only strengthen Savannah’s economy but also provide residents with a sustainable alternative for pool maintenance, ultimately benefiting local ecosystems and public health.
