Things are really happening around here. We opened warehouses in Florida and Texas. Pool owners in those states can now get free next day delivery and not have to fight the traffic to go to the local retail store.

Canadian Shipments

We are now shipping pool supplies to Canada. We partnered with Border Free so Canadian customers receive a guaranteed price of what they can expect to pay in shipping, duties and taxes. No brokerage fees, no CODs and no surprises at the door.
