About AES

On October 1, 2012 Aquatic Environmental Systems will celebrate its 29th anniversary as the resource for swimming pool professionals in the southwest. From a desk and a telephone in a walk-in closet twenty nine years ago, we have grown into over 6,000 square feet of space, eleven employees, and five service vehicles. This growth has enabled us to better serve the many friends we have made in our last twenty nine years.
