If you’ve bought from Pool DC before, you know how we work: we manufacture, we cut out the middlemen, and we pass the difference on to you. Pool Trade takes that same approach and puts it closer to where you live and work.

Pool Trade supplies manufacturer-direct pool equipment to the trade. The public is welcome too. Whether you’re a pool contractor restocking for the week or a homeowner who needs a new pump before the weekend, the counter is open to you.

Placed where you need us, and nowhere else

Every Pool Trade branch was chosen for one reason: convenience. We looked at where pool professionals and pool owners actually are, then put a branch within easy reach of them. Most branches are near main routes, industrial areas and busy suburbs, so you can get there quickly and get back to work.

We will keep opening branches, but carefully. We’re not trying to have a store on every corner. Each new branch has to earn its place by making it easier for you to buy from us.

Running clean to keep your prices lean

This is the part most retailers won’t tell you. Every shop costs money to run: rent, staff, stock, electricity, security. Chains that open too many stores too quickly end up passing those costs on to you through higher prices.

We’ve chosen to do it differently. Keeping the branch network lean keeps our running costs low, and those savings go into our prices instead of into overheads. It isn’t a promotion or a sale. It’s how the business is built.

Fewer overheads. Better prices. That’s the whole strategy.

Pool DC remains Pool DC

Pool Trade isn’t replacing Pool DC. It’s working alongside it.

Pool DC keeps doing what it has done for more than 20 years: manufacturing pool equipment, negotiating the best possible factory-direct pricing, and supplying the products that go onto Pool Trade’s shelves. Our Gosforth Park branch in Germiston is home to both Pool DC and Pool Trade under one roof.

In simple terms, Pool DC makes it and sources it, and Pool Trade gets it to you. You keep the same manufacturer-direct value, with more places to collect it.

• Manufacturer-direct pricing, with no middleman markup
• Branches placed for convenience, not for show
• Trade customers and the public both welcome
• Backed by Pool DC’s manufacturing and buying power
