CaliMar above ground pools are best described as Bigger, Better, Stronger, Longer Lasting above ground pools. The CaliMar® brand, pools have Bigger True 8" Top Rails made with Better. Resin materials making these pools Stronger and is assured to last Longer with their un-matched 8 Year Full-100% warranty plus an additional 22 year Pro-Rated Warranty. Made with the exact same materials and same exacting standards as Doughboy pools are known for, the CaliMar® pools are also made. We’ve taken the best of the best of what we know to work hand in hand with H.I.I. to architect and design a series of above ground pools that break the mold and set new standards in the pool industry.
Analyzing the Pool Components:
  • Top Rails
The CaliMar above ground pool models all are stronger empty than many other above ground pools are when they’re full. The top rails are a true 8” across measuring from edge to edge. Other manufacturers that claim to be 8” wide are measuring around the circumferance of the top rail. If the CaliMar top rails were measured using the same method, they would be 12” wide.

  • Liners
The liners that come standard in the CaliMar models are True 20 mil liners, not gauge. Gauge is a matter of subjection and any manufacturer can set their gauge to whatever suits their marketing needs. Mil is an exact international precise measurement for measuring thickness. Measurement is done with a micrometer and all of the liners packaged with the CaliMar® pools are a True 20 Mil Thickness. The liners are about 20% heavier than other liners on the market because of the true nature of the virgin vinyl material and zero use of plasticizers and fillers. Due to the superior strength and integrity of these liners we offer a Lifetime 100% Warranty against seam separations.
  • Easy Fit Bottom Rails
Engineered with True-Fold design and thicker Premium Steel with a high end coating all CaliMar models have a 100% Lifetime Warranty.

  • Precise Component Connection Points
All connection points on CaliMar pools are precision punched holes so there is only one way the pool can be assembled, making assembly quicker and easier. Other above ground pools have “oval” shaped holes which allow too much variance causing imperfect fit and weakens the strength of the pool.

  • Walls
Made from heavier copper bearing steel than industry standards making them 30-60 lbs heavier than other manufacturer models pools. Zinc clad hot-dipped galvanized steel walls receive several protective coatings and a specifically designed epoxy coating providing the best defense against corrosion and condensation. Industry’s thickest corrugation offers industry’s greatest strength and flexibility. Layers of wall protection shown below.

  • Vertical Uprights
CaliMar's steel thickness is 25% thicker than the competition providing extra stability and strength to the pool wall.
  • Skimmer
Large skim surface area removes surface debris faster than any other skimmer on the market. The tall mouth construction allows for greater pool water height fluctuations with a basket twice the size of many competitors. Skimmers are color matched to each pool model wall.
