De'Mon Wiggins, executive vice president and president of Pentair Flow, called it 'a strategic acquisition' that supports the company's mission to sustainably move and improve water worldwide. After completion, Hydra-Stop will become part of Pentair's Commercial and Infrastructure unit under its Flow business segment. Pending regulatory clearance and other standard conditions, the deal is expected to close by the end of 2025. Pentair noted that Hydra-Stop's culture aligns with its own, easing the integration process. Pentair held cash and cash equivalents of $143 million as of June 30, 2025.
