Please be sure to contact Positive Pool Wholesale Supply, Inc. via phone or email PRIOR to any Return 813-938-1802 or [email protected]. You will be issued a Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA#).

All returns must be accompanied by an RMA #. The Buyer must pay the return shipping costs, unless we mistakenly shipped a product other than that which was expressly ordered by you, or unless the product arrived damaged.

Non-defective product returns are subject to the inspection and approval of Positive Pool Wholesale Supply, Inc., our distributor, and/or the product manufacturer. Returned merchandise must be received within 60 days of the purchase date, must be in new and resalable condition, in the original undamaged packaging with all accompanying material, and accompanied by the RMA#.

We do not refund original order shipping charges unless we ship something other than what was ordered.

Product that is returned for a reason other than damage or a mis-ship is subject to a 20% restocking fee. If the product is exchanged for a replacement product of equivalent or greater value, then the re-stocking fee is 10%. There is a $10 minimum return/exchange processing fee.

As it is not possible to for Positive Pool Wholesale Supply, Inc. to have full knowledge or complete details of your pool, we cannot and will not accept responsibility for merchandise that is not compatible or does not function with your system. We always recommend that the buyer contact the manufacturers directly to determine that the product will be suitable in their environment and to obtain a part number, if in doubt. Most of the time, we can acquire items once we have a part number to research for you. Buyer assumes all responsibility without exception, outside of a manufacturer's stated return policy or warranty. We apologize, but this is due to the huge variety and complexity of pool systems and pool products. We have found that in the majority of cases where a product does not work as desired, it is not due to a product defect, but rather the wrong product, or a problem with the buyer's system.
