FOUNDER
Josh Johnson
Hi my name is Josh and I was born in Santa Barbara, but I moved to the central valley when I was young. I moved back with my family when I was in high school where I attended Carpinteria High school. While attending I took the agriculture mechanics program where I learned metal fabrication and got my first taste of being a entrepreneur when I built BBQ's and sold flowers.
After graduation I attended SBCC and their Marine Diving Technology program. Through this program I learned the importance of work ethic, doing a job correctly, as well as the importance of plumbing systems correctly and that each part has a purpose.
I then moved to New Orleans in 2007 to pursue a job doing underwater welding where I worked as a diving tender for a year. This job showed me the importance of planning because when you are working on a boat the smallest items can hold up a large scale job.
After spending a year away from family I decided to come back home to be closer to them. It's funny how distance can put things in perspective. It was that year that I got a job at a local pool company maintaining pools and ponds. I quickly moved up the ranks and within a year was managing their repair and installation department. Fast forward 12 years to 2020 and I took the next step of starting Pure Aquatic Solutions. With this company I strive to provide my customers with a great product, and treat them as an extension of my family. I'm honored to have this opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you.
