So, who are we? Well, we are the very reason you are looking at a portable pool. Allow us to explain.
In The Beginning. In 1988, we helped introduce America to the very first soft-sided, single-layered portable swimming pool. It was called the "Knock-Down User-Friendly Do-It-Yourself Portable Pool" - which we later shortened to simply the KD Pool®. (Most people don't know what the "KD" stands for - we do because we helped to invent it.)
A Brief History of Portable Pools in America
The Italian Connection. At the 1992 International Pool and Spa Expo in Atlanta, a small Italian company was introducing America to their version of a portable pool. Luigi, the founder of Splash in Italy, sold the rights to his product to an American company and Splash SuperPools® was born.
KD and Splash worked together and formed an informal alliance. Since they only made rectangle pools and KD only made round pools, it made sense to work together to cultivate and educate dealers about the value a portable pool offers.
Zodiac - the Boat People. In 1998, Zodiac bought KD Products, Inc. However, for whatever reason, they decided to not purchase the KD factory in Korea. Instead, they decided to have the future of KD built by the Chinese. Though all of us that were involved with the creation of the KD Pool tried to help Zodiac, we all quickly realized it was not the best way to proceed.
Enter China. A few years after Zodiac bought KD Products, a small beach ball company entered into the large retailer market with a KD Pool knock-off.
China is very famous for ignoring US Patents (of which Zodiac bought two from KD Products) and flooded the market with cheap knock-offs. The Chinese product was never as good as the old KD Pool, but sadly the cheap product had taken over the mass-merchant market.
Like the old saying goes; "If you want anything done right, you have to do it yourself." So in 2006 we formed an American based manufacturer of portable pools that was geared on selling made-to-order portable pools customer direct. If you didn't buy your EZ Pool from us, then you didn't buy an EZ Pool.
After struggling with manufacturing a quality product overseas, we decided it was time to start making portable pools right here in the United States. We created the portable pool market way back when,and we still continue to lead the way with new and innovative ideas.
Today eCommerce and the Internet are shaping the way people shop, compare and buy products. We've led the charge to create the most secured and reliable source for a quality made-in-America portable lap pool available online. Collectively, we have sold more customer-direct portable lap pools than anybody else on the planet. And with each new idea we unveil, we are quickly copied - which is a compliment in itself.
We also have been a proud member of the Better Business Bureau, and have maintain an A rating with them throughout all these years. The fact that we have been a verified member with them for so long tells you alot about us as a company and our product.
So why are we America's favorite portable pool? Because no other company in America can offer you so many choices, so many options and accessories. And no other company can offer you a quality portable lap pool Made Right Here in the United States!!
