Warranty
The Morgan Pools Guarantee/Warranty
Every Morgan pool is covered by our five (5) year structural integrity guarantee/warranty.
Because Morgan Pools build to such a high standard it is rare that things go wrong. The Morgan Pools crew shares a belief in a culture of excellence and craftsmanship that is invested in every project we are involved in. However, if in the unlikely event that something does go wrong during the guarantee period Morgan Pools will rectify it at their cost.
