This company uses crap material and warranty is short lived. Do not buy swimming pools from them you will regret it.

They are quick to deny you on warranty claim, then try to sell you replacement parts. Do not buy from this company

AI Highlights
  • - Rain in the last 2 days; the filter won't start.
  • - Setup was easy with no issues.
  • - The unit is 3 months old; green light flashing.

We have had a lot of rain the last 2 days, and now my filter will not work. I put the pool up at the end of May.

Easy setup with no issues. However, my filter was showing the green light flashing in the morning. I dried it out in the hot sun for a while; it is 102 here in Maryland. Now the timer lights are on, no more green light, but the filter will not start.

The thing is only 3 months old, for goodness' sake. Please help me out.

Pros:
  • Very easy set up
  • Looks nice
Cons:
  • Cheap filter didnt last 3 months

Preferred solution: a replacement filter would be nice

User's recommendation: Purchase from another company

Questions about hose connectors for my 18 ft. Above ground pool

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Agent who answered my call was helpful and courteous. Thank you!

I've been having trouble with the hoses popping off the side of my pool. She was straight to the point and very clear on what I should do.

I appreciate it so much! Having an above ground pool can be stressful when you don't know where to ask for help.

Pros:
  • Customer service is prompt and easy to reschedule a live agent

Pump issue and poor parts support

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Still haven't heard anything back. Nothing was answered.

Just ran with nothing being pushed into the pool or taken out.

No pressure, as if it was not pumping right. Holes sprung a leak into 2 spots and the repeller inside the pump sounded like it wasn't moving or spinning

Loss:
$600
Pros:
  • Good pool with frame
Cons:
  • Pumps and matrials needed suck

User's recommendation: Bigger powerful pump needs to be added then what it calls for. Now im stuck and lost $600 over a bad pump.

Missing a gasket for my pump

AI Highlights
  • - No price-tag lookup or part dimensions provided.
  • - No phone number to contact the parts place; unhappy after spending money.

They want all this information that I threw out. They can't have the Walmart thing to look up my price tag that I paid; they don't know the dimension sizes of the part or anything.

How can you sell a pool and don't have dimensions of gaskets? That's disturbing.

Not happy; spent all this money. No phone number to talk to anybody from the parts place.

Cons:
  • Need better customer service

Preferred solution: What my gasket for the pump or the size of it spent a lot of money and you’re gonna let a $15 gasket get in between good customer service

User's recommendation: Undecided

Broken pump

This being my first experience with a brand new Pool it was a little disheartening to have our pump stopped working after a week . The representative was very knowledgeable on the phone sent me the email to file a claim. Overall, it was a good experience.

False advertising an will not tefund

AI Highlights
  • - Box labeled as pool ready for water but only liner and frame were included, no pump.
  • - I paid $200 and got a liner, not a usable pool.

Bought pool, be leaving a " pool" would arrive with all parts needed to be able to use. Box reads POOL ready for water, an what I got was a liner an frame.

Nothing more than that. No pump or anything to make this a functioning pool. Never purchase a Pool that did not have its nessary working parts.

This is a liner, not a pool. An now I am out a pool an the 200 $, an my grandbabies vacation fun with me.vontent in box should have read "liner for pool" I was looking for sizes an PO rices, not parts or replacements

User's recommendation: I'll never attempt to do service with them. They definitely do not want to do service to help you
