What we do

Four counters, one shop.

Most people find us for one of these and end up using two.

Supplies

Pool supplies

Pumps, filters, robots, heaters, chemicals, and parts — with people behind the counter who know which one you actually need.

Service

Weekly pool service

Vacuuming, brushing, and water chemistry handled every week. Standard chemicals are part of the price, not an add-on.

Design

Outdoor living design

Pools, pool houses, cabanas, outdoor kitchens, and the spaces that tie them together — designed before anyone digs.

Carts

Golf carts & LSVs

Street-legal low-speed vehicles and golf carts, sold and serviced out of the same Whaley Street shop.

Somebody has to test the water.

It doesn't have to be you, and it doesn't have to be on a Saturday morning.

Poolside

The part of the pool you actually sit in.

Two lines we stock because they survive chlorine, sunscreen, and a dropped glass on concrete. Both are in the showroom on Whaley Street — come handle them before you buy.

Drinkware

BOLD Drinkware

Polycarbonate cocktail glasses, wine glasses, tumblers, flutes, and pilsners cut to look like crystal — so no one has to drink from a plastic cup or sweep up a broken one.

  • UnbreakableDrops on the pool deck instead of shattering on it.
  • Stays coldInsulates about four times better than glass, so ice lasts and drinks stay undiluted.
  • DishwasherRated to hold its shine through 2,000 commercial wash cycles.
  • Food safeIndependently certified by the FDA and SGS for food contact.

Furniture

Tenjam

In-pool loungers, chairs, benches, and tables built for sun shelves and tanning ledges — plus the Session line for patios and decks. Made in Minnesota.

  • In waterThe Splash line sits on a baja shelf; Shayz loungers take a riser for ledges up to 17 inches.
  • MovableDrains fast when you lift it, so one person can move a piece without wrestling a water-filled shell.
  • All weatherUV-protected rotomolded polyethylene — nothing to repaint, rot, or rust.
  • WashableMost pieces can be hosed down or power washed and sanitized.

On the way

You know when we're coming

A text goes out before the truck arrives, so nobody finds a stranger at the gate.

In the price

Chemicals are already covered

Standard chemicals are built into the monthly rate. The invoice reads the same every month.

Behind the counter

Warranty work stays in town

As a Maytronics and Poolmate warranty center, we handle the claim here instead of shipping it off.
