Aqua Pools Remains Open to Provide sanitation to residential and commercial pools

For the retail store if you are more comfortable for curbside pick up we can provide that for you if you call ahead. We do not require masks in the store, but if it makes you more comfortable we welcome you to do so, it is your decision.

During this crisis it is important to keep in mind the importance of keeping water sanitized:

The maintenance of properly sanitized swimming pools and other artificial bodies of water is necessary to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and help maintain community health at all times. We  remain open to do our part in protecting public health by making sure pools that choose not to open are still being treated-and those that choose to open are sanitized and balanced with the pool chemistry. Water that is not properly maintained can serve as a breeding ground for potentially fatal viruses including E.coli, Malaria, West Nile and Zika.

This situation is challenging for all of us as well as constantly changing, and we are committed to prioritizing the well-being of the communities we serve. We will continue to take the necessary actions to prioritize the safety of our customers and employees and to our community.

We have emphasized to our employees the importance of keeping our store clean and safe, including washing hands regularly and have instructed all employees not feeling well to stay home.

We thank you for being a loyal customer, and appreciate your support for local business!
