       Dear Robert P. Fishman:

       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations
       Consolidated Result of Operations, page 26

   1.                                                   We note your discussion 
and analysis of the changes in your income tax on page 28.
                                                        Based on your effective 
tax rate reconciliation within Note 10, it appears there are
                                                        material factors 
impacting your income tax (benefit)/provision that should be fully
                                                        discussed in MD&A so 
that readers may fully understand the variances and assess the
                                                        continuing impact. For 
example, it appears that the changes in rates of foreign operations
                                                        further decreased your 
effective tax rate in 2023 while the proportion of income before
                                                        income taxes for your 
international operations remained fairly consistent. To the extent
                                                        material factors in 
your foreign operations including changes in your jurisdictional mix of
                                                        income may be impacting 
your effective tax rate, please explain the changes and factors
                                                        including whether you 
may expect these changes to continue. Given the materiality of
                                                        your foreign operations 
and impact on your effective tax rate, please also tell us your
                                                        consideration of 
including a discussion of the primary taxing jurisdictions where your

         foreign earnings are derived and the relevant statutory rates in those 
jurisdictions in order
         for readers to better understand the material impacts such factors 
have on your effective
         tax rate. Please refer to Item 303 of Regulation S-K.
Note 14. Segment Information, page 74

2.       We note you reorganized the operating segments and classified your 
operations into three
         reportable segments: Flow, Water Solutions, and Pool. We also note 
that the financial
         information by reportable segment disclosures include an "Other" 
category, which
         reconciles to the consolidated amounts. Please note that if your Other 
category is
         presented under ASC 280-10-50-15, it does not represent a reportable 
segment and should
         be excluded from the reportable segment total. Please revise or tell 
us how these
         disclosures appropriately reflect reconciliations of the total of the 
reportable segments to
         your consolidated amounts. Refer also to ASC 280-10-50-15 and ASC 
280-10- 55-48 and
         55-49.
3.       Please disclose the business activities and sources of revenue 
included in Other as
         required by ASC 280-10-50-15.
4.       Please reconcile your reportable segment measure of profit or loss to 
consolidated income
         before income taxes. Refer to ASC 280-10-50-30(b).
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for 
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action 
or absence of
action by the staff.

        Please contact Joseph Cascarano at 202-551-3376 or Robert Littlepage at

related matters.
