A-1 Pools understands sometimes your purchase isn’t a perfect fit – so we’re happy to offer returns or exchanges within 10 days of purchase. Your return of unused products will incur a restocking fee of 20%.
Please keep in mind, an original sales receipt or packing slip dated within 10 days of purchase is required for all returns or exchanges. Please bring valid photo identification with you to the store when returning your item. Information from your ID will be retained in a database of customer return activity, and used by A-1 Pools to authorize returns.
Keep in mind these factors when returning your item to A-1 Pools:
Returns and exchanges should be new and in the original packaging. Please include all accessories that came with your item. Products that have been used in any way are not returnable.
Returns with the original sales receipt or packing slip receive a refund based on the initial form of payment. There are no cash refunds; if payment was made by cash, a refund check will be mailed within 7-10 business days.
In-store returns and exchanges without a receipt or packing slip are offered store credit for the lowest price or offered the manufacturer’s contact information.
Returns with a gift receipt are offered a gift card or exchange.
If you redeemed a Perfect Water Rewards credit or coupon with your return, an adjusted refund amount will be offered.
