My husband didn't want to do installation so they recommended someone to us, however if there is a problem with installation it is not there responsibility.
That being said the product is great and we have enjoyed our pool tons. We even.bought a heater from them to extend our usage. I would highly recommend them. Love our pool!!!”

Are your pool supplies suitable for both above-ground and in-ground pools?

Most pool supplies—chemicals, test kits, brushes, hoses, and maintenance tools—work for both above-ground and in-ground pools. Equipment such as pumps, filters, ladders, and liners must be matched to your pool type and size.

If you’re unsure, contact support with your pool details for compatibility assistance.

Can I order replacement pool parts online?

Yes. You can order replacement pool parts online, add them to your cart, and check out easily. We ship across Canada with tracking, and our team can help verify part compatibility before purchase.

How do I maintain proper pool water chemistry?

To balance pool water properly, follow these steps:

Adjust Alkalinity (80–120 ppm)
Raise with sodium bicarbonate; lower with muriatic or dry acid.
Adjust pH (7.4–7.6)
Raise with soda ash; lower with acid.
Balance Calcium Hardness (200–300 ppm)
Increase with calcium chloride; reduce by partially draining/refilling.
Sanitize (1–3 ppm chlorine)
Use tablets, liquid, powder, or a salt chlorine generator. Shock weekly/biweekly.
Check CYA Stabilizer (35–60 ppm; 60–80 ppm for saltwater)
Helps protect chlorine from sunlight.
Monitor Total Dissolved Solids (below 1,200–1,500 ppm)
Drain/refill if levels are too high.
Shock the Pool
Boosts free chlorine to eliminate contaminants.
Test Again
Ensure all levels return to proper ranges.

How often should I replace pool filters or cartridges?

Most pool filter cartridges last 3–5 years, but lifespan depends on usage, water conditions, and cleaning habits.

Replace your cartridge when you notice:

Cleaning frequency doubling compared to normal
Cloudy water even with balanced chemistry
Visible rips, cracked end caps, or crushed pleats
Inability to reduce pressure after cleaning

Properly sized filters and consistent maintenance extend cartridge life significantly.
