498 mn. WaterGuru specializes in automated smart pool water monitoring solutions aimed at simplifying pool maintenance and enhancing user experience. Their flagship product, the WaterGuru SENSE, is a smart monitor and pool water analyzer that fits seamlessly inside a pool skimmer. This device provides high-precision daily testing of pool water chemistry, including pH levels, chlorine, and harmful bacteria, to ensure optimal water quality for swimming.

The integrated app offers real-time alerts and expert advice based on precise data tailored to the pool’s specific chemical composition, size, and type. WaterGuru's products cater primarily to residential pool owners, property management companies responsible for lodging and recreational facilities, and pool service professionals. The company’s offerings aim to alleviate common pool problems such as burning eyes, itchy skin, and algae blooms by maintaining balanced and safe water conditions across various geographical markets, including North America and parts of Europe. WaterGuru generates revenue through direct-to-consumer sales of its WaterGuru SENSE device and associated products, such as SENSE cassettes and pool chemicals, as well as subscriptions for ongoing monitoring and support services.

The company structures its transactions primarily through individual product sales, where customers purchase the SENSE device once, along with optional recurring purchases of cassettes and chemicals as needed. This enables customers to maintain their pool water quality without the hassle of manual testing. Additionally, revenue is bolstered by partnerships with pool service companies and businesses in the hospitality sector, allowing them to utilize WaterGuru's technology for efficient pool management. The pricing strategies are designed to ensure accessibility for both individual consumers and commercial clients, enhancing customer engagement and loyalty within the industry.

Following its Seed funding round in July 2019, WaterGuru Inc. aims to utilize the raised USD 7. 55 mn to enhance their product offerings and expand their market reach. The company is currently designing new products to complement the WaterGuru SENSE and plans to enter additional markets within North America and Europe by 2024.

This growth strategy will leverage their existing technology while addressing the needs of a broader customer base.
