- Fluidra, S.A. is the Spanish-listed ultimate parent of a pool-equipment group whose current global brand directory profiles 17 portfolio brands.
- AstralPool, Zodiac, Jandy and Polaris are the four lead names highlighted by Fluidra, but their categories and regional roles differ.
- Aiper is currently a 27% strategic investment rather than a wholly owned Fluidra brand, while Aquatron was sold to BWT in 2019.
- A group brand list does not identify the trademark owner, manufacturer, importer, seller or warranty entity for every SKU and country.
Fluidra, S.A. is the Spanish-listed parent of a global pool and wellness equipment group. Its current corporate brand directory profiles 17 portfolio brands, led by AstralPool, Zodiac, Jandy and Polaris. The wider directory also includes Gre, Cepex, CTX Pro, S.R.Smith, CMP, Laghetto, AquaForte, Certikin, Baracuda, Cover-Pools, Grand Effects, Taylor Water Technologies and BAC Pool Systems.
That list needs two qualifications. First, it is a current corporate portfolio directory, not a closed register of every trademark, product name or subsidiary worldwide. Fluidra's North American legal pages, for example, also identify regional names such as iAquaLink and Nature2. Second, a brand being inside Fluidra does not mean that Fluidra, S.A. itself is the manufacturer, importer, invoice seller or warranty provider for every product.
Fluidra Brands at a Glance
The following table reflects the brands displayed in Fluidra's current global brand directory as checked on July 23, 2026.

This is the most useful starting map for buyers, but it is not a legal due-diligence result. Product marks, connected-platform names, local private labels and acquired company names can appear outside this global directory.
Who Owns Fluidra?
Fluidra is not a product brand owned by Zodiac. The corporate direction runs the other way.
Fluidra, S.A. is a publicly listed Spanish company and the ultimate parent named in the group's 2025 public country-by-country report. The group traces its origin to 1969 and describes itself as a global supplier of residential and commercial pool equipment, connected solutions and wellness systems.
For a simple ownership answer:
Fluidra, S.A. → Fluidra group companies → portfolio brands
That chain explains group control. It does not show which subsidiary holds a trademark, signs a distributor agreement or warrants a product in one market.
Are Zodiac, Jandy, Polaris and AstralPool All Owned by Fluidra?
Yes. All four sit within the Fluidra group, but they did not arrive through the same corporate history and do not serve identical markets.
AstralPool
AstralPool is Fluidra's broad, internationally distributed pool and wellness brand. Fluidra describes it as a full-range choice for dealers building, refurbishing and maintaining residential pools, commercial pools, water parks, spas and wellness centers. Its official brand page emphasizes a large catalog and direct sales through Fluidra subsidiaries in many countries.
For B2B buyers, AstralPool is better understood as an extensive system and professional-channel brand than as one narrow product line.
Zodiac
Zodiac is a major pool-equipment and cleaning brand across Europe, Africa, Oceania and North America. It also has a corporate history that predates the 2018 combination with Fluidra.
The name can appear at three levels:
- Zodiac as a customer-facing product brand;
- historical Zodiac companies that assembled the Jandy, Polaris and Zodiac portfolio;
- current entities such as Zodiac Pool Systems LLC that continue to carry legal, trademark, warranty or support roles inside Fluidra.
Those uses are connected, but they are not interchangeable.
Jandy
Jandy is Fluidra's major North American residential pool and spa equipment brand. Its range spans pumps, filters, heaters, lighting, water sanitizers and automation. It is therefore a broader equipment-platform brand, not primarily a pool-cleaner brand.
A Jandy dealer relationship does not automatically establish a right to sell every Polaris, Zodiac or AstralPool product. The contract must identify the brands, product categories, territory and channels covered.
Polaris
Polaris specializes in automatic pool and spa cleaning. Fluidra's portfolio covers pressure-side, suction-side, corded robotic, cordless robotic and other cleaner formats under different regional ranges.
At group level, Fluidra owns Polaris. In North America, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC has documented trademark, warranty and return roles for important Polaris products. World Clean Biz's separate guide to Polaris ownership and manufacturing explains that regional chain in more detail.
How Did the Fluidra–Zodiac Merger Create the Current Portfolio?
Fluidra and Zodiac announced their combination in 2017 and completed it in July 2018. The transaction brought together two complementary positions.
Fluidra contributed brands and capabilities including AstralPool, Cepex, CTX Professional and Gre, along with strength across Europe and other international markets. Zodiac brought the Jandy, Polaris and Zodiac product brands, a strong North American residential position and established pool-equipment technologies.
The combined company retained the Fluidra name and its Spanish stock-market listing. The official 2018 closing FAQ said the familiar product brands would remain in place.
This history explains a common source of confusion:
- Zodiac is a Fluidra group brand today.
- Some Fluidra brands, including Jandy and Polaris, entered the group through the former Zodiac organization.
- Zodiac Pool Systems LLC can still be the operative North American legal name on documents even though Fluidra, S.A. is the ultimate parent.
In 2020, Zodiac announced that its North American corporate identity would operate as Fluidra. The announcement also said the Jandy, Polaris and Zodiac product brands, sales contacts, warranty processes and support functions would continue. A corporate rebrand therefore did not erase the product brands or move every responsibility directly to the listed parent.
What Other Types of Brands Does Fluidra Own?
The portfolio extends well beyond robotic pool cleaners.
Whole-pool and construction systems
AstralPool and Certikin cover wide equipment portfolios for pool construction, refurbishment and maintenance. Gre and Laghetto concentrate on above-ground or design-led pool systems.
Cleaning
Polaris and Zodiac are the most visible automatic-cleaning names in the global directory. Baracuda provides a more accessible pool-care position in selected international markets.
Fluid handling, water care and testing
Cepex covers valves, fittings and fluid handling. CTX Pro focuses on pool chemicals, while Taylor Water Technologies specializes in water chemistry testing.
Covers, deck equipment and features
Cover-Pools and BAC Pool Systems address automatic, manual or safety covers in different regions. S.R.Smith supplies deck equipment, accessibility lifts and lighting. Grand Effects adds outdoor fire and water features.
Components and adjacent water products
CMP supplies pool and spa components. AquaForte extends the portfolio into pond products.
This category breadth matters for distributors. Fluidra can combine equipment, consumables, automation, parts and professional channels. It does not mean that every brand shares one catalog, price list, factory, sales team or warranty.
Does Fluidra Own Aiper?
Fluidra owns a significant minority interest in Aiper, not 100% of the company.
On December 23, 2025, Fluidra completed an approximately $100 million investment for an initial 27% interest in Aiper. Fluidra described itself as a significant minority owner and the transaction as a strategic partnership in cordless robotic pool cleaning.
Fluidra has a planned path to increase its interest to a majority position after Aiper reaches specified financial targets. The 2025 integrated annual report describes targets of revenue above $370 million and an EBITDA margin around 15%. That second phase is a future, conditional step—not evidence that Fluidra already owns a majority or all of Aiper.
Aiper is also absent from Fluidra's current global brand directory. The accurate current classification is:
Aiper = strategic partner and 27%-owned investment, not a wholly owned Fluidra portfolio brand.
This distinction affects distribution rights, product liability, financial consolidation and supplier due diligence. The full ownership analysis is available in Who Owns Aiper?, while the Aiper–Fluidra alliance article examines the channel and competitive logic.
Does Fluidra Still Own Aqua Products or Aquatron?
No. Old acquisition lists should not be treated as current ownership maps.
Fluidra acquired the Aqua Products/Aquatron robotic pool-cleaner business in 2011. As part of the regulatory commitments connected with the Fluidra–Zodiac merger, the group had to divest Aquatron. Fluidra sold the business to BWT in 2019.
Therefore, Aqua Products, Aquatron and Aquabot should not be added to a current Fluidra brand list. They belong in the historical ownership record. World Clean Biz's Aquabot, BWT and Aquatron guide follows the current manufacturing and brand chain.
Why Does Fluidra Show Different Brands in Different Regions?
Fluidra's portfolio is regional as well as global.
The current Fluidra North America legal information describes a family of brands including Jandy, Polaris, Zodiac, iAquaLink, Cover-Pools, Nature2, Baracuda, Taylor, S.R.Smith, CMP and Grand Effects. That list is not identical to the 17-name global corporate directory.
The same legal material identifies multiple companies in the regional structure, including Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, Zodiac Pool Systems Canada Inc., Cover-Pools Incorporated, Custom Molded Products LLC, S.R.Smith LLC, Fluidra USA LLC and Taylor Water Technologies LLC.
There is no contradiction. The pages answer different questions:
| Source | What it is useful for | What it cannot prove alone |
|---|---|---|
| Global corporate brand directory | Current portfolio orientation | Every trademark or regional product name |
| Regional brand family page | Brands marketed or administered in a region | Ownership and legal role for every SKU |
| Trademark register | Owner of a specific mark, class and territory | Factory, importer or warranty |
| Company registry | Existence, officers and corporate chain | Product authorization or manufacturing |
| Product label and compliance file | Legal manufacturer and product responsibility | Group ownership of every brand |
| Invoice and contract | Seller, buyer and commercial obligations | Trademark ownership or physical origin |
| Warranty policy | Warrantor, coverage and process | Factory or universal global terms |
For cross-border sourcing, the country selector on a corporate website is a navigation aid, not a substitute for the exact transaction documents.
Does Shared Ownership Mean the Products Are the Same?
No.
Brands inside one group can share engineering, patents, apps, motors, control platforms, components, sourcing, factories, service infrastructure or distribution. They can also preserve different specifications by region and channel.
Two visually similar products may differ in:
- voltage, plug and charger;
- radio module and certification;
- firmware, app region and cloud service;
- filter, brush, pump or drive configuration;
- model code and dealer exclusivity;
- packaging, accessories and manuals;
- legal manufacturer and country of origin;
- importer, service process and warranty coverage.
A shared Fluidra logo in a website footer does not establish product equivalence. Buyers should compare complete model codes, labels, declarations, manuals, parts lists and change-control records.
Who Manufactures and Warrants Fluidra Products?
There is no one-company answer for the entire portfolio.
Fluidra is the industrial group and reports a global network of factories and sales branches. Individual products can be designed, manufactured, assembled, imported, sold and warranted by different group companies or approved external partners.
The responsibility chain for one purchase can look like this:
Fluidra, S.A. as ultimate parent → regional group company → trademark or product company → legal manufacturer → physical factory → importer → contract seller → service and warranty provider
Several roles may sit in one company, but that must be demonstrated rather than assumed.
For example, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC is an important North American company behind multiple Fluidra brands and is named in current Polaris warranty materials. That does not turn it into the universal warrantor for AstralPool, Jandy, Zodiac, Polaris or every other Fluidra product worldwide.
B2B Checklist for Buying or Distributing a Fluidra Brand
Before approving a distributor, supplier or cross-border purchase, verify:
- Brand and scope: exact brand, product category, territory and channel.
- Contracting company: full legal name, registration, address, tax number and bank beneficiary.
- Trademark authority: current owner, classes, territory, status and written authorization.
- Distributor rights: whether the appointment covers retail, professional dealers, projects, e-commerce, marketplaces and service parts.
- Exact SKU: model, regional suffix, voltage, firmware, radio functions, accessories and packaging.
- Legal manufacturer: entity named on the product, manual, declaration and technical file.
- Physical factory and origin: assembly site and country-of-origin evidence for the model and batch.
- Importer or economic operator: party responsible for market access, surveillance, incidents and recalls.
- Compliance: reports and certificates matching the exact SKU, factory, BOM and destination market.
- Seller and delivery: invoice issuer, Incoterms, title transfer, customs responsibility and acceptance terms.
- Warranty and service: warrantor, duration, exclusions, parts, labor, freight, RMA location and turnaround.
- Software and data: app region, cloud operator, account ownership, cybersecurity contact and end-of-support policy.
- Change control: notice requirements for factory, component, firmware, certification, model or packaging changes.
- Relationship type: owned group brand, licensed mark, minority investment, joint venture, distributor relationship or former asset.
This final distinction prevents the most expensive category error: treating an investment or shared channel as proof of brand ownership and product responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What brands does Fluidra own?
Fluidra's current global brand directory profiles AstralPool, Zodiac, Jandy, Polaris, Gre, Cepex, CTX Pro, S.R.Smith, CMP, Laghetto, AquaForte, Certikin, Baracuda, Cover-Pools, Grand Effects, Taylor Water Technologies and BAC Pool Systems. Regional pages can identify additional product brands, so this should not be treated as a closed list of every trademark worldwide.
Is Zodiac owned by Fluidra?
Yes. Zodiac is a Fluidra group brand. The two businesses combined in 2018, and the listed company retained the Fluidra name. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC remains an important regional legal entity inside the group.
Does Fluidra own Jandy?
Yes. Jandy is a Fluidra brand focused primarily on North American residential pool and spa equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, lighting, sanitizers and automation.
Does Fluidra own Polaris?
Yes. Fluidra owns the Polaris pool-cleaner brand at group level. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC has important North American trademark, product and warranty roles.
Who owns AstralPool?
AstralPool is part of Fluidra. It is one of the group's broadest professional pool and wellness brands, with a large international product and dealer footprint.
Is Aiper a Fluidra brand?
Not in the same sense as Zodiac, Jandy, Polaris or AstralPool. Fluidra completed an initial 27% investment in Aiper in December 2025 and has a conditional path toward a future majority stake. Aiper is currently a strategic partner and minority-owned investment, not a wholly owned Fluidra brand.
Does Fluidra own Aquabot?
No. Fluidra formerly owned the Aquatron/Aqua Products business but sold Aquatron to BWT in 2019 following the Fluidra–Zodiac merger commitments.
Are all Fluidra products made by Fluidra?
Fluidra is the group behind the portfolio, but the exact legal manufacturer and physical factory must be checked by product, SKU and batch. Group ownership alone does not identify the assembly site or country of origin.
The Bottom Line
Fluidra is best understood as a listed pool-equipment platform, not as a single product brand. Its current global directory brings together 17 portfolio names, with AstralPool, Zodiac, Jandy and Polaris as the most prominent anchors.
The useful ownership answer is only the first layer. For procurement, distribution and compliance, buyers still need to identify the trademark owner, authorized regional company, exact product manufacturer, factory, importer, seller and warrantor. Aiper's minority investment and Aquatron's historical divestiture show why those relationship types must remain separate.
