Crikey. There's something in this pool. Michael Thill, our Midwest Manager, was on a routine stop in South Holland, Illinois, when he spotted something he didn't expect: a FinWhale, floating in the pool like it lived there.

So what's it doing, and why does this pool look so good?

Michael is about to find out. Part 2 takes us up close.

Want to know more about the FinWhale by Sunnywhale. Reach out to your local Grit Gamer for more information.

Caption 23

For pool builders who have been watching the growth of full-tile pools, here is one display worth stopping to see. More Ezarri Premium Partners are officially set up.

The product story starts with JointPoint®. The number pool contractors should remember is 25%: JointPoint® can save up to 25% of installation time versus paper-based systems. It also means Ezarri manufactures its mosaics in Spain and supports the U.S. market through its Miami hub. That gives American pool professionals access to a globally established mosaic manufacturer with U.S. distribution support.

This is the kind of product pool professionals should evaluate by total installed value, not simply price per square foot. Faster placement, strong adhesive contact, professional alignment, and glass engineered for wet environments can all matter on the finished job.

Want to add Ezarri to an upcoming pool, spa, renovation, or tile project? Start with your local distributor, or contact The Grit Game for distributor information.

Ezarri is also nominated for the 2026 Pool Nation Awards Innovative Product of the Year. Please vote today and help put professional installation innovation in the spotlight.

Built by a pool guy who got tired of hunting for bags.

When the supply houses shut down during COVID, Gary Richards couldn't find a debris bag for his vacuum. Every brand needed its own bag. So he made one that fits them all.

That's Vacbagz: debris bags for professional battery-powered pool vacuums, made with the tech in mind. One bag across your vacuums means less to stock on the truck and more money in your pocket.

"If you can't treat pool guys special, we should get out of the business." Well said, Gary!

Grab VacBagz at your local pool supply distributor, or reach out to The Grit Game and we'll point you in the right direction. 🧹

Great products need great partners. 🙌

We’re excited to celebrate Baystate Pool Supplies as an Ezarri partner helping bring one of the world’s leading glass mosaic brands to more pool professionals across the East Coast.

For builders, renovators, tilers, and subcontractors, that means something important: Ezarri is getting easier to find, see, and source locally.

And this is a tile system worth asking about.

Ezarri’s JointPoint® system leaves 92% of the back of the mosaic available for direct adhesive contact and can save up to 25% of installation time compared with paper-based systems.

You get the beauty and quality of premium glass mosaic with an installation system designed with the professional in mind.

If you already install tile, go see what makes JointPoint® different.

If you’ve been thinking about expanding into more mosaic work, this may be the time to start.

A huge thank you to the Baystate team for partnering with Ezarri and helping us put better tools, products, and opportunities into the hands of pool professionals.

📍 Visit your local Baystate Pool Supplies and ask for Ezarri Tile.

🏆 And while you’re at it, Ezarri is nominated for the 2026 Pool Nation Awards Innovative Product of the Year. Please vote today and help us put JointPoint® and professional mosaic installation in the spotlight!

A new Ezarri Premium Partner just received their complimentary showroom display, giving local pool professionals a hands-on look at a different way to install glass mosaic.

If you build pools for a living, the installation system matters as much as the tile itself. The number pool contractors should remember is 25%: JointPoint® can save up to 25% of installation time versus paper-based systems. On top of that, Ezarri glass has 0% water absorption. That makes it especially well suited for swimming pools, spas, wellness spaces, and other demanding wet environments.

That is why we want more pool builders, renovators, tile crews, subcontractors, and fiberglass pool professionals to get Ezarri in their hands and understand what makes JointPoint® different.

Ready to see Ezarri in person? Ask your local distributor for Ezarri Tile, or contact The Grit Game for help finding a distributor near you.

Ezarri is also nominated for the 2026 Pool Nation Awards Innovative Product of the Year. Please vote today and help put professional installation innovation in the spotlight.
