Doren Pulliam later was responsible for many "firsts" on his own. Using his background in the U.S. Navy Construction Batallion, he became an innovator of modern pool construction and technology. When he purchased the first gunite rig in Tarrant County in 1948, he developed the engineering and structural design standards which are still in use today. 

Third generation pool builder Barry Pulliam has been active in the business since age 10 and literally learned about pools from the ground up. Following his family's tradition, Barry continues to innovate and experiment to provide customers with a carefree, low maintenance swimming pool. To stay on the leading edge of technology, Barry accepted an invitation to join the prestigious AQUATECH group in February, 1988.  AQUATECH is a 30 year old national organization of quality pool builders known throughout the industry for their integrity and dedication to craftsmanship. Since only one pool builder is selected from each market area, members are able to share research data which encourages technological innovation. 

The "pioneer spirit" is alive and well at Pulliam Pools. Electronic remote controls, unique interior pool finishes, and chlorine generators are examples of products offered by Pulliam Pools as a result of recent product testing.
