QUESTIONS A POOL BUYER NEEDS TO ASK ! Yes, we’re flattered when the competition compares themselves to The Above Ground Pool & Spa Company, but don’t be misled. AGP Co. is the industry leader for its innovative, cost efficient, high quality designs. We have installed pools in San Antonio since 1979, and we are backed by the largest distributor network in the U.S. |
||
| 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___ | |

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