They hook you with the “$399” thing, then they attempt to pressure you into shelling out $20k-$30k+ for pools that (apparently) aren’t even that well/built…

How to Cancel with Blue World Pools?

One of the top consumer questions on PissedConsumer.com is how to get out of a contract with Blue World Pools.

According to Blue World Pools cancellation policy, customers have 3 days to cancel from the date of signing the contract, without penalty, as per federal law. Once the 3 days have lapsed, a 30-50% cancellation fee applies. Buyers must pay this fee upfront for the cancellation to be processed.

I attempted to cancel both by phone and by canceling the check. A written letter would never have made it to their company within three days. They never reached out to me after I left numerous messages.

They dont tell you when they finance that the interest rate keeps rising and you end up paying $40,000 to $50,000 for a $3,000 pool. They also put a lien on your home and horribly rude every time you talk to them on the phone! 

They further expressed their frustration that they had to pay an extra $16,000 to get their parents’ property off the lien. Ultimately, the customer ended up paying $41,000 for a pool that was supposed to cost $3000.

Is Blue World Pools Reliable?

Many customers have described Blue World Pools as unreliable due to poor customer service, marked-up prices for accessories, exceptionally high prices if you take up financing, unreliable installation services, and many more.
