About Us
30 Years at the Poolside, Now at Your Doorstep.
Most online pool stores are run by guys in office buildings looking at spreadsheets. At Al’s Cool Pool Store, we’re a little different. We’re run by the team at Sapphire Swimming Pools, and for the last 30 years, our hands have been in the water.
We’ve spent three decades opening, closing, repairing, and maintaining pools across New York. We know exactly which pumps whisper and which ones whine; we know which seals actually hold and which "bargain" chemicals end up costing you more in the long run.
Why "Al’s Cool Pool Store"?
We started Al’s because we saw a problem: DIY pool owners were being flooded with cheap, unverified parts online. We decided to take the same high-quality equipment we install for our service clients at Sapphire Swimming Pools and make it available to everyone.
When you buy from Al’s, you aren't just getting a box on your porch. You’re getting:
- Pro-Selected Inventory: We don't sell every part—only the ones we’d trust in our own customers’ backyards. Browse our pro-grade equipment.
- Decades of Troubleshooting: If a part is on our site, it’s because we’ve installed it hundreds of times.
- Real Human Support: Have a question about a Hayward vs. Pentair fit? You’re talking to people who actually carry the wrenches.
