What to know before you purchase

Choosing the Right Above Ground Pool Size

When selecting an above ground pool, consider both the size of your yard and how you plan to use the pool. Smaller pools are great for cooling off and require less maintenance, while larger pools are ideal for families and entertaining. Ensure there’s enough space around the pool for safe access and maintenance. And take into consideration a growing family. Will your kids be ready for a larger pool in a few years? Our special Compac Support System allows you to install a larger oval pool in a small space with ease. We offer financing so you can get your favorite size BrightWater pool to enjoy for decades.

The Difference Between Pool Basics and an Above Ground Pool Kit

Our basic above ground pool packages include your BrightWater pool, liner, and skimmer. But why stop there? Customize your expanded pool kit with additional features like equipment, entry systems, maintenance tools, lighting, heaters and more to save on retail pricing and shipping. Our above ground pool kits offer enhanced convenience and functionality, turning a simple pool into a backyard paradise. You won’t regret all the extras to enjoy each day.

All Above Ground Pool Liners Are Not Created Equal

Did you know that many other liner brands have a different thickness on the liner walls than they do on the liner floor? That can mean less liner life, replacing your liner more often, and unexpected added expense. Don’t depend on other brands’ gauge because it may not be a true representation of what you are purchasing. Check the shipping weight of the product. BrightWater Pools never cuts corners – the vinyl thickness is the same for both our liner walls and floor. Only our true mil measurement allows you to see exactly what you need!

Picking Your Pool Liner Type

With upgrades and expandable options available, our industry-leading above ground pool liners mean you’ll have a beautiful and durable space to splash and play. Whether you want a quality standard liner, an upgraded overlap liner pattern and thickness, or a beaded or E-Z Clip above ground vinyl liner for easy installation, BrightWater Pools offers you the best American-made options on the market. With our expandable liners, you can even have a deep end!

Traditional vs. Saltwater Pools

Both traditional chlorine or mineral-system pools and saltwater pools have their merits. Traditional pools are cost effective and familiar to maintain, while saltwater pools offer more automated sanitation and are gentler on eyes and skin. Each requires different maintenance approaches, but both can provide excellent water quality. But if you want a saltwater pool, you need special protection against corrosion. Choose your favorite size Bright Icon+ Salt™ for a pool that’s saltwater compatible and easy to care for.

Above Ground Pool Permits & Permissions

Before installing an above ground pool, check local zoning laws and obtain necessary permits. Requirements vary by location and can include setbacks from property lines, septic systems, utilities, and easements. Assessing compliance avoids issues and ensures safety. Also check your local homeowner association requirements, if applicable.

DIY Above Ground Pool Installation

Installing an above ground pool can be a rewarding DIY project. It requires basic tools, a prepared and leveled surface, and a few helping hands. Our manufacturer instructions and videos carefully detail each installation step to ensure structural integrity and safety. Add a Liner Protector or a Pool Cove™ liner guard with your pool purchase for extra protection before your vinyl liner is installed.

Neighborly Kindness When Building a Pool

Keep good relations with your neighbors by informing them of your pool installation plans. Address any concerns they might have about noise or privacy early on. A considerate approach can prevent conflicts and maintain a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. And don’t forget to invite them over for a swim when your pool is complete! They may even lend a helping hand to help you get the job done faster.
