27' Pool collapsed over the weekend ? Where to buy new one online??

[BarbaraB]

Pool collapsed Saturday night during a pool party in a most dramatic way, leaving us in shock and staring at a heap of twisted wreckage. Thankful for no injuries, but pool itself was a total loss. Tears are dried now, cleanup is done, and we're headed to recycling. Sigh...

We had struggled for years to get our cloudy pool clear and sparkling--until we discovered Trouble Free Pool. The last couple seasons have been pure heaven; ​we were in the water constantly--and now, this! I already miss my pool SOO much!

Budget simply won't support a "pool store" purchase (and during the struggling years, we gave them waaaay too much money already ;-). We have a good pump and filter, just need the pool itself. Anyone out there have suggestions/advice/warnings or specific online sources? Sure would appreciate your help! Thanks!!

Craigslist! We bought our 28' Doughboy 4 years ago for $1,000. People are always trying to get rid of above ground pools. There are definitely good deals out there.

There are a number of online retailers that will sell you a pool if you are going to install it yourself. Recently "the pool factory" mentioned a few times from people happy with their service.

You can also find very good deals on craigslist.

What was the point of failure on the pool? I would do a lot of googling to look for end of summer sales. Around here, even though we can usually swim into October, stuff gets marked down after July 4th.

I was very happy with thepoolfactory.com. I have the saltwater 8000 in oval and am impressed with how solid it is. It is comparable with the top of the line steel pools at the stores I went into. It actually is pelicans top model just called something different.

That's.... not good!!
I'd like to know how it failed as well? Was it a steel wall or soft wall?

This. We got the 30' round Saltwater 8000 back in April from https://www.thepoolfactory.com/, it's a solid pool and they have great reviews.

Another Poolfactory customer here, I installed the Saltwater LX and I would happily buy from them again.

I dealt with Brian from propools.com. He worked with us and was great!! I only wanted the pool and liner, so he worked out a fabulous deal.
