No one hurt Made Feb 16, 2012, sent to the company Feb 24, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 16, 2012
The product, in the report: Above ground aluminum structure with vinyl liner swimming pool The model is “New KAYAK Award Winnning Pool.
In June 2009, I had an above ground Kayak Pools swimming pool installed in my back yard. Unit was 12ft X 24ft with an 8ft deck extention. The unit is advertised as an “aluminum pool” and the 30 year warranty also described it as an aluminum pool. On January 15, 2012, found a corner of the pool deck split open at the top the with the affected wall starting to collapse from the pressure of the pool water on the liner. The extended deck was also leaning toward the collapsing side. I braced the leaning side and started to drain the contents of the pool. I sent an email request for service help to the company that installed the pool. Backing up to the sale, we were offered two different types of chlorene systems. One where the chemical was added directly to the pool or a chlorene generator system where salt is added to the pool and then chlorene is generated as the water is circulated through the system. We elected the later, but little did we know the the connecting hardware that keeps the pool together was iron. The corners of the pool structure were connected using a non aluminum L plate with two bolts and nuts on each side. The bolts were installed in a verticle position with the head on top and the lock washer and nut on the bottom. The bolts and nuts were made of non-marine usage material. Over the period of two years the heads of the bolts corroded entirely letting the body of the bolt fall out of the support structure. There is no question that if a person were at the position of the deck separation at the time it happened, he or she would have been injured. (I am 80 and my wife is close behind.) The installing company, SunTex, has blamed the salt water for the failure and offered no assistance. They said it appears that the proper level of salt was not maintained. In any event, I was never advised either in writing or verbally that the salt water would be a problem to the structure nor that the main structure hardware was not corrosion resistant. My investment in the pool is appx $25,000. Neither the installing company, SunTex, or the manufacturer, Kayak Pools Corporation have offered to help.
