At Sutro, we know the reason you bought your pool in the first place -- to create lasting memories. That’s why we created the Sutro Smart Monitor connected to our Marketplace that takes all the hassle out of pool and spa water maintenance. Our solution allows you to make those lasting memories without worrying about the quality and safety of your water. With Sutro, you will fall in love with your pool or spa again.

At Sutro, we’re dedicated to making water safe. Water is an essential resource for all of us. In order to do that, we’re going to start with pools and spas. Why? Well, pools and spas are controlled and regularly treated with chemicals. Monitoring pools and spas will allow us to build a rich database of how water behaves when treated. This is essential to deploying technology that can keep the world's water safe.

An Homage to Sutro Baths

We were born and bred in San Francisco, and want to tip our collective hats to Adolf Sutro and the Sutro Baths (thus the name of our company, Sutro).

The Sutro Baths were once the largest public swimming pools in the world. They were built in 1894 and were destroyed in a large fire in 1966. 

What remains are the ruins at Land's End on the Western most coast of San Francisco facing the Pacific Ocean. The location itself (here and now) gives Sutro a new outlook to water and it's relation to humans. Starting with swimming pools and spas, we hope to better understand water and how it changes around us. 

 

Our Vision

Radically shift the way that humans consume, treat, and analyze water through sensors, data, and applications which allow us to sustainably ensure the safety of water for generations to come. A focus on impermanence allows us to ideate as users of water change.
