A Brief Resume.
So, who are we? Well, we are the reason you are looking at a portable pool. Allow us to explain.
The Beginning.
In 1988, we introduced 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, we invented it.)
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 we only made round pools, it made sense to work together to cultivate and educate dealers about the value a portable pool offers.
As the dealer market became more familiar with the values a portable pool offered them, KD launched a new line of pools - the Royalty Series. It was the very first time a lifetime warranty (against ripping and tearing) had ever been offered. When we launched the Royalty Series we had already known that the type of material used in making portable pools was constructed in a way that it actually resisted ripping and tearing - unlike the non-reinforced vinyl liner material used in conventional above-ground, metal-sided pools which can easily rip or tear. Sales of the KD pool were increasing so rapidly that our factory in Korea had to sub-contract out work to Mr. Chois, who later entered the American pool market with his own pool - Chois Pool.
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 way we wanted to go.
The Korean factory was a bit shocked that they had been passed over by Zodiac. So they decided to enter into the American market on their own. Their first company, Portable Industries Corporation, lauched the PIC pool. One of the very first resellers of this product was Advantage Manufacturing. Advantage, which specialized in pump and filter packages, worked a deal with the Korean company. In 1999, Advantage offered the pool and spa dealer a 16' round pool package for half the price of what KD had been offering dealers. It was an instant success. Soon dealers all across the nation were offering this inexpensive 16' round pool package - which is why today the 16' round pool market is so saturated.
Enter doughboy®:
One of the very biggest obstacles we had been facing when we introduced the KD pool, in 1988, was the apprehension of above-ground pool retailers to sell it. Traditional metal-sided above-ground pools had been around for over 70 years. They and their dealers viewed the portable pool as just a passing fad. So in late 1999, we approached the original KD pool manufacturer (in Korea) and helped form a new company called Portable Pools Incorporated. One of the very first deals that was struck was with doughboy®, the most recognizable name in the pool industry. They had just hired a new president who recognized the value of the portable pool - and the Pearl Wave™ was born.
The Legacy Pool:
We are not me-too thinkers. We are the very essence of the creative American spirit. So in 2000 we decided to raise the bar again in the pool industry. We introduced the world to the Legacy Portable Pool. It was the very first portable pool to offer; an oval-shape, a 52" depth, and a unique marbleized liner pattern. The name "Legacy" was used because it trully represented the very best of what we had achieved. And it was a tribute to all of us that created the portable pool market in America.
Enter...Everybody Else:
As is the case in every industry, once there is a success for one company, many more enter into the market. Where there used to be only one, now there are many. Many of the once apprehensive above-ground pool companies are now offering their own portable pool. And we helped them all get started. Companies like; doughboy®, Secard, Cornelius Pools, SCP, and Intex®. Though we welcome them into the market place we are saddened that in the last few years, nothing really innovative has been introduced...until now.
