Brooklyn Pool Factory
We went to the Brooklyn Pool Factory today. We’re thinking about getting a pool. I mean it’s something we’ve wanted for awhile, but there are so many choices to make.
The Pool Factory in Brooklyn is located at 50th and 1st Avenue (not too far from Bay Ridge). They were open until 7pm today (Friday)
It’s located in a warehouse type building and there was a lot of parking.
You take the elevator to the third floor. When you first enter, you see the cash registers and the peopl who work there. Then there you see that there are 22 pools set up on this floor. Plus there are displays for pool supplies such as chlorine, shock and many types of pool filters.
How do I decide if we should use chlorine or saltwater? I read that saltwater feels better to swim in – probably because no one enjoys swallowing chlorine by accident.
And then we need to decide if we want a oval or round pool and which dimensions to get.
They had such pretty pool liners as well.
The people that work at the pool factory were very helpful. Resin pool supports are better, especially if you get a saltwater pool. Some pools can also be partially sunk into the ground so they don’t overwhelm the yard.
We didn’t realize there were so many choices in pool stairs. We like these best, but the pool needs to be big enough to have them.
The pool in the far back was the only one filled with water. It also had a robotic pool vacuum inside that we played around with.
We loved our visit to The Pool Factory in Brooklyn. We don’t know how soon we will be ready to purchase a pool, but we’ll be back when we are.
Hugs,
