Buying an above-ground pool is exciting—but it’s also a big investment. Too often, homeowners make mistakes that cost them time, money, and peace of mind. Here are the 7 most common mistakes and how Kona Pools helps you avoid them.
Mistake 1: Choosing the Wrong Size
Always measure your yard and consider your family’s long-term needs. Kona offers small, medium, and large rectangle and round pools to fit any space.
Mistake 2: Overlooking Durability
Cheaper big-box pools often wear out in just a few years. Kona Pools are built with premium vinyl soft-sided durability and backed by a 20-year warranty.
Mistake 3: Ignoring Saltwater Compatibility
Not every pool works well with salt systems—but all Kona Pools are saltwater ready.
Mistake 4: Forgetting About Setup
Some pools take days to install. Kona Pools? Just 1 hour from box to swim-ready.
Mistake 5: Skipping Accessories
Covers and decks aren’t extras—they’re essentials. Kona offers everything from winter covers to the Hana Surround System.
Mistake 6: No Warranty or Support
Never buy without protection. Kona’s 20-year warranty is one of the strongest in the industry.
Mistake 7: Not Thinking About Lifestyle
Pools are about more than water—they’re about memories. Choose a pool that enhances your backyard lifestyle.
Avoid these mistakes and you’ll enjoy stress-free pool ownership for years. Ready to get started?
