Fact or Fiction - Buyer Beware
Don’t be fooled by some of the tricks pool manufacturers play.
Get the real facts on the pools you’re shopping and you’ll
see the real Doughboy Difference!
Installation - The Doughboy pool can be installed
by you! All our pools come with a full installation DVD and a complete
set of Installation Instructions. In addition, Canadian Pool Wholesalers
offer 24 hour support during your installation.
True Dimensions - When Doughboy gives you a pool dimension
it is a "true" size based on the inside pool wall, vertical
or top rails
- We use exact, pre-punched holes that assure structural integrity
and allow for a more precise installation versus slotted holes that
can weaken the stability of a pool. Test and compare us to other brands
by vigorously shaking the top rail of a Doughboy pool. You can feel
the stability!
Verticals and Top Rails - Count the number of verticals
and top rails and compare. We provide more than any other brand, increasing
the strength and lifetime performance.
Swimming Pool Liners - All Doughboy liners exceed
industry standards for weight and thickness and are a "True Mil"
measure. Don't be confused by the "gauge" game our competitors
play. Some will call their liner 20 gauge or 20 weight when they really
only measure 15 Mil (.015") in thickness or less. Ask your dealer
to actually weigh a Doughboy liner versus the other manufacturers'.
The Best Fit For Your Garden
From an 12' "get 'em wet" round pool to a 41' x 21' "
lake," our space-saving Com-Pac II Support System lets you have
a larger, more attractive pool in a smaller space. No other manufacturer
can provide you with the space-saving features of the Com-Pac II when
combined with our true 7' expandable liner.
Durable to Last a Lifetime
At Doughboy, we know the number one reason people buy a pool is to
build memories, so we build our pools to last for a "Lifetime of
Memories." Our top-of-the-line pools are under warranty for the
entire time you own them. We also provide a 100% lifetime warranty on
our bottom rails. But we don't stop there. We are so confident in our
liner seam technology that we back all our seams with a 100% lifetime
warranty too! Invite the neighborhood kids over for a pool party –
our pools can take all the punishment they can dish out.
Stronger Than The Rest
Liners - Doughboy's exclusive Therma-SealTM technology,
a proprietary fusion method, provides superior sealing for maximum strength
and quality. Also, our liner formulation process uses low-temperature
plastizers and stabilizers to assure low-temperature flexibility and
durability. We are so confident in our liner seam technology that we
back all our seams with a 100% lifetime warranty.
Walls - Our walls are 30-60 lbs. heavier than other
brands and have deep, balanced corrugation which offers flexibility
and vertical depth. In fact, we offer more corrugation per inch than
any other brand.
Slide Bar Wall Connector - Unlike nuts and bolts,
our exclusive slide-bar wall connector continuously joins the pool walls
together for complete structural integrity while preserving (rather
than piercing) the layers of wall protection.
Vertical End Caps - Made from 18 gauge G90 galvanized
steel, our vertical end caps are 50% heavier than most brands. We also
use exact, pre-punched holes that allow for a more precise installation
and added stability.
To Install a Doughboy Swimming Pool from Discount Leisure UK
When excavating for in the ground or partly inground installation, add about 6 to 12 inches to these dimensions, leaving a space all round the pool approximately 1' wide.
Simply erect the pool according to the manufacturers instructions, as if the pool was on the ground. Then fill the pool so that it is completely rigid with water. Any parts of the pool wall & side support framework that will be buried should be coated with a bitumen type paint. This is to protect against scratches exposing bare metal and leading to corrosion. Be careful not to get any paint near the liner. Place sheets of 1" thick polystyrene around the pool wall. This will ensure that no cement or sand makes contact with the wall. It will also help to insulate the pool. Similar sheets (such as "Jablite") may also be used if desired for the base of the
pool, between the liner and the ground. Now mix a dry lean mix of sand and cement, and pour it between the polystyrene and earth around both the curved ends and the straight sides. If the over dig at the sides would result in too much
lean mix being needed, you can, if you like, place plywood shuttering along the straight sides as shown in the diagram. The sand and cement will set hard in time, forming an earth retaining wall to eliminate outside pressure damaging the structure should the pool need to be emptied. Without it, soil around the pool could cave in the sides, once the pressure from the water inside the pool has been removed. Finally the area around the side supports can be filled with earth. *Please note that, whilst all our above ground pools come with generous manufacturers warranties, these will be void if the pool is damaged by incorrect installation or use, including sinking without a proper earth retaining wall.* |
