Pool Warehouse Swimming Pool Buyers Guide

Please check references and testimonies. Some companies are too new to have a page dedicated to their customers' completed inground pools and some of the great stories --do you really want to be their test subject?  More and more companies are bringing back steel wall pool kits, the simple reason is that they are cheap and want to make a quick buck off of you. The problem with Steel wall pools is simple:  they rust.  Pool Warehouse stopped selling any steel wall pools in 2000 after receiving many phone calls of customers seeking to replace their liners and finding the walls pitted or rusted out, the only thing keeping them up was probably the foam.  Foam is not required with the Cornerstone kits for we will not have rusting stains bleeding into the liner.  Pool Warehouse gives our customers the best product with a Lifetime Transferable Warranty not having to replace or fill in our pool after the first liner replacement.  Simple rule of thumb if a company and especially a web site tries to steer you into a steel wall pool  just walk away. 

• Steel Walls in rocky soil will get scratched or gouged and will rust away even faster.  Cornerstone Pools Polymer has been proven 1000's of times and will last many lifetimes.
• Steel Walls Pool Kits Savings on average is $400-$500. They do not come with deck supports just "A-frames" this could cause massive cracks in your deck costing $1000's to fix. Upgrading to a Deck support is $400-500 there goes your savings. Deck supports come standard on all Cornerstone Pools 24" or 28" for rocky soil.
• Remember Steel Walls kits are cheap so you will get the basic items.  Non Energy efficient pumps. most will not included a timer "The standard was just turn on your pool all summer" Today that's just silly and our customer are a smarter than that.
• Steel Wall kits will end up costing 1000's more in the end.

Most warranties are voided when a do it yourself person builds their own pool without guide lines from the manufacturer. Without the assistance of a factory authorized builder/dealer you may be asking for trouble "Read Carefully". With Pool Warehouse the Life Time Transferable Warranty applies because of close technical support provided by the manufacturer. Pool Warehouse also only sells Hayward equipment and gives you the Totally Hayward warranty doubling your warranty on your pool equipment.

Cornerstone  Equipment  List: We have automatically included everything you will need to build your swimming pool.  If the pool kit you are looking at does not include steps, automated pool controls “saving energy by running your pool the recommended 6 – 8 hour per day”, a 1.5HP pump “able to control a cleaner and a skimmer simultaneously, utilizing energy savings at 220 volts and more powerful than a 110 volt, and an Aqua Genie “skimmer and return all in one, a $250.00 value”, then it is not the best deal you can purchase.  All of these items are simply a standard for all of Pool Warehouse  Cornerstone  Swimming Pool kits, not an upgrade!     

Pool Warehouse stopped selling any steel products in 2000. The Swimming Pool Industry and Pool Warehouse had so many problems with the Steel Wall Inground Pools and above ground pools. Pool Warehouse now only sells life time warranty products that will not rust.  The polymer pools are made of Hi-impact polystyrene resin. The popularity of the Polymer pool is growing by leaps and bounds because it will not rust and is stronger and smarter than a steel wall pool. All boats use a form of Polystyrene and fiberglass, boats and pools have the same function keeping water separated.  That is why we offer a lifetime transferable warranty.  View our Online Brochure  for details.

View the video and see what you think you can install, and what you should subcontract out. Most people who buy our custom kits subcontract out the installation. The more common shapes like the rectangle, oval, kidney, roman, and the True L's do the work themselves with having a Excavator helping in the dig.

No dealer or distributor carries a warranty on the swimming pool products. Warranty comes from the manufacturer just like with cars. Pool Warehouse sells more pools online than any other company allowing us a great advantage of factory direct assistance. We have a very close relationship allowing our customers to receive direct technical  support from the manufacturer making sure you keep your warranty, with the life time transferable warranty you really want that. No other company offers this kind of service.

Pool Warehouse has the only no hassle shipping program. Shipping is included on all Pools. Damages: Just inspect the equipment if anything is damaged, just place them back on the truck. The damaged items will be sent out next day.

Want a Custom  Cornerstone  Pool?: Do not buy from a company only offering rectangle pools if you want something truly special. Usually they lack support and expertise to handle the help required with these pools. To install a rectangle is one thing but you will need a company like Pool Warehouse and our factory direct assistance on the installation and engineering of the pool. We have CAD personal that will go over with you Point To Point to make sure our liner fits like a glove.
