Help Identify Home and Rome Pool

Your site has so much useful information. Thank You. We just bought this used pool and were told by the owner who bought it with the house that it was a Doughboy, a local pool dealer says this is not a Doughboy based on the way the wall is joined.

Can you identify it for me? I need to get a new bottom track. The previous owner said it is 18'x33', I am kicking myself for not measuring the pool myself before taking it down.
Thanks
Andrea




Hi Andrea. The pool is not a Doughboy, it is a Home and Rome, and a very old one. This pool has been out of production for a long time. Getting replacement parts is probably impossible.

Your best bet would be to take one of your existing rails to a metal fabrication shop and have one made for you.

You could also take it around to different pool shops in hopes of finding one that is a close enough match. The most important parts to look for are the length and the arc. The length can be cut down but not added to, so too long is OK. The arc needs to be very close.

The width is not critical as modifications can be done in the footplate to hold it in place.
