Pool Liner Tear after 2 Years

My wife and I bought a 14x42 Elite Summer Waves pool in the summer of 2022. We still have the receipt.

This year, after filling it completely, the lower seam started to tear despite only having two summers of use. I store the pool inside a heated garage over the winter months. I submitted an email before writing this review to possibly give them a chance to offer something. I wasn't expecting them to send me a whole new pool, but I was expecting something nonetheless.

I received an email asking for more info, to submit a warranty form, and then to call their support number.

I jumped through all the hoops, but in the end, I was only given an apology for the inconvenience and told that nothing could be done. I am very disappointed in the product; I don't recommend buying a Polygroup pool.

Poor customer support, Product, and Documentation information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We purchased a 12X24 Elite pool from Walmart and I will say we got an incredible deal because if I had paid full price, or even half price for this pool I would be more upset than I am! The manual is very vague about how to set this pool up, it does NOT tell you to place the outriggers on footers, nor does it say anything about wrinkles and the fact they will stretch out during filling!

We had large wrinkles at each corner, each time we tried to fill the pool, which in our case turned out to be 4X, so we called poly-group and got a hold of a tech named "Julio". Julio asked us if we had read the manual, and we told him yes and that we had a ton of wrinkles and were afraid to fill the pool up until the wrinkles were resolved, at no time did Julio recommend we continue to fill or say that the wrinkles may work themselves out during filling!

In fact, after Julio read the manual back to us, after which he said I don't know what else to do for you, We were shocked that a company tech didn't know any information about the products they sell??? I wont deal with Poly-group anytime ever again!

Christmas Tree Lights lasted one season

Polygroup - Christmas Tree Lights lasted one season - Image 2

Bought an almost $500 tree (sale price) and set it up for its second Christmas. Lights are out in section and then sporadicly all over the tree.

Customer service did try to send replacement lights, but they dont match what is on the pre lit tree. Now they are blaming Hobby Lobby for switching the lights out (still waiting to hear from them) and here we are with an expensive tree right before Christmas half lit. I asked if they would send me other lights-crickets. Wont call.

Wont respond to text.

When I call and wait on hold for a long time they say I need to contact another department and call you back. Still waiting for the call.

Received pool in a damaged box.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Received pool in a damaged box. Called the company to report for warranty the damage to the liner along with missing parts to the ladder.

Their solution was to send a vinyl repair kit for the rip in the liner and the parts for the ladder in a different color. When received I called them back to discuss and they said they couldn't do anything about it. I received a damaged product and they couldn't do anything except tell me to fix it.

That is the reason I purchased a new pool this year. I didn't want to have to patch up holes.

User's recommendation: Don't order online! If something is missing or torn return it to the store where you got it because their warranty sucks.

Does not stand behind warranty even with receipt. bought a brand new tree for $250 and none of the lights work.

They guarantee their products for 2 to 5 years on trees, but they do not stand behind it. Please save your hard, earned money and take it elsewhere.

Warranty su cks

Bought 16 foot pool in May never set it up till July, took it down first week of September. Set it up the next summer got a ripe in the seam called said it wasn't under warranty would give me a deal on a new liner.

Had none in-stock, so I called this year didn't think they would be getting any in. So you pay 9 hundred dollars for a pool and get for months total out of it.

I needed to buy a replacement for a Tree stand I had for a Tree, I had to call five times because the call kept getting disconnected. Once I went to go buy my replacement they said I had to go through Google, Google did not come up with the product and the company themselves refused to help in anyway for the new part so Im now out of a tree for Christmas because I cant afford a new one, and my kids are at home crying, All the company could say was Well your the one who misplaced the parts absolutely poor customer service

Updated by user Jun 28, 2023

Ended up buying a different pool. PolyGroup still refuses to make things right. DO NOT BUY SUMMER WAVES POOLS!

Original review May 28, 2023

Purchased 14x48 Summer Waves pool in August 2020. Used for one month last year.

Filled pool for use this season and there are multiple leaks in the seams and small stress holes from weak spots in the liner. Contacted Polygroup and I was told there is only a 90 day warranty on the liner from date of purchase and that there was nothing they could do.

Although the warrant claim for says two years. Spent $500 on a pool we were only able to use for one month.

We bought one and in 3 weeks the seam ripped. Unfortunately I bought in March but being from Newfoundland, Canada our summers dont start until late June, early July so by the time I put it up they refused to replace it because it was past the 90 days this was my sons birthday gift in may and now he is heartbroken and the company could care less I would not recommend!
