In Loving Memory of Paul Fulmer

Paul Fulmer joined the Swimming Pool Industry professionally in 1966 in South Florida.  Throughout his 40+ years in the industry he performed several different roles and achieved many significant accomplishments. Paul began like many others as a start-up mechanic and technician.  He quickly learned the ropes and moved on to construction for both commercial and residential projects.

Midway through his career he moved on to work within the wholesale distribution side of the business and subsequently began consulting for many of the major Swimming Pool equipment distributors and manufacturers.  During that time he dedicated a significant amount of time within research and development on subjects such as Electrolytic Generators, Pool Heater Heat Pumps and Exposed Underwater Surfaces and those efforts led him to obtain numerous patents and acclaim.

Paul also spent several years publishing his knowledge and educating others within the industry.  Of all his achievements the most significant would be the numerous design awards he received including a few for his own personal swmming pool and spa projects.  Some of his more recent specialties include the inclusion of underwater windows and the integration of custom sculptures into his designs.  He also grew a passion for swimming pool safety and has spent a tremendous amount of time and effort working with and perfecting spillover / vanishing edge illusions which enables zero hair/body entrapment dangers.

Paul officially retired in 1996 however he continued to nurture his love for design and education by staying actively involved in consulting and many of the projects of his son-in-law’s company River Brook Pools and Spas.  Paul unfortunately passed in the Spring of 2010.  His passion for his family and love for the Swimming Pool Industry will be dearly missed.
