Hello pool enthusiasts! Dreaming of backyard splashes without the hassle of an in-ground dig, then you might want to take a closer look at CaliMar above ground pools. These aren't your average setups... they're built tough, with features that make them stand out in a sea of options, so let's dive into what makes them special, from their sturdy construction to those little extras that keep the fun going strong.

 

First off, picture this: CaliMar pools come with true 8-inch resin top rails that are measured edge to edge for real strength. That's like having a backbone that's tougher empty than some competitors' pools are when full. And the uprights? They're a solid 7 inches, with steel that's 25% thicker than the norm, giving you that extra stability for years of worry-free swimming. The bottom rails use a clever True-Fold design, backed by a lifetime warranty, so you know they're in it for the long haul.

 

Now, about those walls—they're made from heavier copper-bearing steel, zinc-clad and galvanized, with multiple layers of protection against corrosion. It's like wrapping your pool in a suit of armor. Plus, the liners are no slouch either. The standard is a true 15 mil thickness, made from virgin vinyl that's about 20% heavier than what you'll find elsewhere (Standard on 52" wall above ground pools). If you want to upgrade, go for the 20 mil option—it's basically in-ground pool liner thickness and quality for your above-ground setup (Standard on 54" wall above ground pools). Options like overlap, beaded, or expandable liners give you flexibility, whether you're going for a standard round or an oval shape.

 

Speaking of shapes and sizes, CaliMar has you covered from cozy 8-foot rounds to sprawling 21x41 ovals. Each comes with the right number of uprights and supports for a secure fit. And don't forget the skimmer—it's got an extra large surface area for quick debris cleanup, a big basket, and even a built-in vacuum port. The filter system? It boasts a 3-year warranty, which is pretty impressive as the best in this industry.

 

Real folks who've brought these pools home often rave about the quality and support. Take Jeffrey from Maryland, who shared: "I am writing you to commend one of your employee's for the superior customer serviced I received from her. I purchased one of your pools and it was delivered to my home on June 7. The package seemed to contain all the necessary parts to assemble the pool. My installers arrived on June 15 and informed me that some components were missing from the factory. I called your toll free number and she immediately began to try to help me in my predicament... At 9:30 AM today the UPS driver knocked on my door and delivered my parts. The installers are hard at work as I write this letter. She is truly a customer service wonder." Stories like this highlight how ProPools backs up their products with top-notch service.

 

Another happy swimmer, Nancy, said: "Thank you so much we went swimming for two hours on Sunday. I am enjoying the pool completely, getting exercise I need and having fun at the same time.... The ease of payment and delivery went smooth and was quick. Everything was here in less than a week. And the installation only took a few hours and it was up and ready..... Again, Thank you for all your help and a great product." It's clear that the quick setup and reliability turn buyers into fans.

 

What really sets CaliMar apart is the warranty package: an 8-Year Full plus 22-Year Pro-Rated on the pool itself, a lifetime on the liner against seam issues, and that lifetime on the bottom rails. It's peace of mind in writing. If you're ready to browse, check out the full lineup in the CaliMar Above Ground Pools subcategory. They ship from the manufacturer, Doughboy which is coneniently located in Arkansas, usually arriving in 1-3 business days, wrapped in signature red for easy spotting.

 

Of course, safety is key—no diving allowed, and they include signage and videos to remind everyone. If you're picturing one in your yard, imagine the cross-section of those resin rails or the layered wall protection; it's engineering that looks as good as it performs.

Rob from Colorado echoes the sentiment: "Shawna & ProPools, Thank you so much for making my wife & our kids (and all the kiddos in the neighborhood cul-de-sac's) summer dreams possibly. I appreciate you diligence in these trying times to make it happen. I sincerely thank you." It's all about creating those family moments.

 

All in all, CaliMar pools are a smart pick for families wanting durability without breaking the bank. They're from Hollowell Industries, the folks behind quality builds like Doughboy, so you know you're getting the real deal.
