REASONS TO BUY FROM A.G.P. COMPANY

We don’t expect you to pick up your pool 7 days in advance. We will deliver the pool on the day it is scheduled for installation.

We don’t use “independent contractors”. All our work is performed by company employees. We include a 1 year installation warranty, not a “30 Day limited warranty”.

It is not the customer’s responsibility to obtain building permits where needed: it is the responsibility of the company that is performing the job. Our installation crew is bonded and licensed.

Excavating the pool site in diggable dirt is included in our installation fee. There are no additional charges for “excess excavation” (over 8' off level)

It is not the customer’s responsibility to have the underground electric, cable and telephone lines located. Our salesperson will take care of that for you.

We will require only 6’ of access to the backyard, not 10’.

We will never require you to order the material. We are the experts, we will arrange for the sand to be delivered.

We do not require the customer to backfill 4”-8” around the pool, because we do not level the pool on sand— which can cause “sand washout”. All manufacturers warn against leveling the pool with sand.

We will remove a section of fence for access to the backyard, and we will reinstall it.

Please take note of our display pools. They are perfectly level, wrinkle free, and crystal clear. If a dealer cannot install or maintain their display pools properly, what will your pool look like?

We do not carry “closeouts”. What closeout usually means is the manufacturer no longer makes nor stocks the particular pool frame. Parts will be impossible to obtain in the future.

Our pool frames are more durable. For example, our 24’ round has 17 uprights. Most economy frame imported pools use only 16 uprights, which increases the distance between each upright.

And finally the best reason to have your pool installed by us... We’re the above ground pool experts!

 

 

 

   

QUESTIONS A POOL BUYER NEEDS TO ASK !

We were named one of the top 100 pool companies in North America by AQUA Magazine in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. We are the only pool supply store in San Antonio with NSPI Retailer of Excellence certification.
Check out the competition with this handy shopper’s guide:

 
POOL FEATURES:    
     
Does the pool have steel reinforced frame?   Yes___No___
Steel is king in South Texas.. The walls are all steel for strength.    
     

Will the dealer keep that model in the future? (Not a closeout!)

  Yes___No___
The availability of parts is very important. Some dealers change brands every year.    
     

Is the filter which comes with the pool energy efficient?

  Yes___No___
Sand filters pass small particles of dirt. Cartridge and D.E. filters are best.    
     

Is the filter equipment plumbed with Schedule 40 pipe? (Not just clamped hoses)

  Yes___No___
Clamped hoses are inefficient and short lived. AGP uses schedule 40 pipe on our deluxe packages.    
     
How many years does the warranty provide 100% coverage? What is pro-rated? Don’t be fooled by “LIFETIME WARRANTIES”. Get a copy and read the small print.
     
INSTALLATION: THE MOST CRITICAL DECISION!    
     

Do they use A.P.S.P.’s nationally recognized construction standards?

  Yes___No___
The A.G.P. Company won the Gold and Silver Medals in the 1997 thru 2006 Design Award Competition    
     

Does the sub-contractor have a license? Insurance? An office?

  Yes___No___
Ask to see the certificate of insurance and contractor's license. All licensed contractors display their license.    
     

Does the installation have a warranty?

  Yes___No___
How long? What’s covered? There is no warranty if it’s not in writing! Ask for a copy before you buy.    
     

Will they furnish the addresses of current jobs under construction?

Yes___No___
See their most recent job. Check the quality of workmanship. Visit the contractors office.

 

SERVICE

Will they test water 7 days a week? Teach filter operation in your backyard?

Yes___No___
We test water at your convenience, with no purchase required. You can expect on-site instruction in pool operation.

Have complaints ever been filed with the Attorney General?

 
Yes___No___
Better Business Bureau 828-9441. Texas Consumer Protection Division 225-4191    
     

Do the owners of the dealership personally supervise their jobs?
