The Low Down On Buying Pools From Big Box Stores and Online Instead Of Omaha Pool Dealer!
March 14/2020 What to expect when you are looking to purchase a pool from a big box store
Have you been thinking about rewarding yourself with a little piece of luxury such as a pool or a spa? While browsing thru the big box stores or on their online website you catch a glimpse of the sales they have on a pool that would be just perfect! Is this the time to strike, is it a deal you just can’t pass up? Before you throw it into your cart and make the trip down checkout row, slow down and look at what you may, or may not, be getting for your investment.
I have a question
Do you have questions on where to place the pool? Can you set it up on bare ground or does it need to have a base underneath it? Can it stay up all winter or will it have to be taken down? There are several questions that most people have when buying a pool at a big box store that doesn’t specialize in that exact item. Who will you ask? Do you see a “friendly smile in every isle” that will be certified to answer all of your pool chemical, cleaning and installation questions? More than likely not. Big box stores do not have trained and certified staff to help you with pool related questions. That knowledge and expertise is something you will sacrifice when purchasing an item like this thru a big box store.
Revolving door of employees
If you were lucky enough to find somebody that may have been able to answer a question, more than likely by the time you went home and thought about it, chances are they won’t be working the next time you go back and have more questions. It’s a very in-personable way to shop, where you are treated as a number and will never be able to walk in and the salesman will greet you at the door by name.
Pool In My Driveway?
That is where online stores will deliver it to. Unlike specialized pool stores that offer delivery, setup and installation, you will be stuck with moving the heavy boxes out of the middle of your driveway when you get home from work. You will then be forced to find the best place to put it in the backyard, not knowing if it truly is the best place to put it, since you don’t have the experts out there to ask. This is just another thing you will sacrifice when purchasing from an online store or a big box location.
What’s the warranty?
Did you fail to ask or see the warranty displayed for the pool that you purchased? Do you even know if there is a warranty? That’s one of the scariest things about buying any high dollar item; will the business and the manufacture be there for me if something goes wrong with my pool? Unfortunately with big box stores and most online companies, they will not be able to help you out if you have a warranty issue arise. They will direct you to an 800 number which will usually land you in a foreign country where you can’t understand anybody. Purchasing a pool from Aqua Palace, we guarantee that if there is any defect in your pool during the warranty period, we will take care of it. That is what we are here for!

Pricing on pools from your big box stores are usually a misconceived value.

We are able to turn your backyard into a paradise instead of just adding a pool to your yard! We can help make custom items such as decks, patios, concrete pads, outdoor entertaining area, gazebos…you name it! This is our area, everything to do with the backyard and relaxation! We will install your pool correctly so that you never have to worry about anything besides when you are going swimming next!
