Why Buy From Gordo's
Why families buy the Desert Spring from Gordo's Pool City, not from a warehouse store.
A new in-ground build in Modesto today runs $120,000 to $150,000 and a full season of construction. A Doughboy from us puts your family in the water in days, and gives you a real local dealer behind the warranty.
Full 5-Year Premier warranty
Buy the pool, liner, pump, filter, and skimmer as a Gordo's package and Doughboy activates the 100% non-prorated 5-Year Premier warranty. Online sellers can't offer this.
American-made, in stock locally
Built in West Helena, Arkansas, not imported. Stocked, packaged, and warranty-supported out of our Modesto store at 6167 Yosemite Blvd.
Free water testing for life
Bring a sample in any time. We'll print a written prescription and only sell what your pool actually needs, no upsells, no guessing.
Made in America for over 75 years
The Desert Spring is built in America, sold and supported in Modesto.
Every Doughboy steel and resin frame is engineered and manufactured in the United States, a 75+ year tradition that started with the Doughboy Plastics Division in 1947. American steel, virgin-vinyl liners, and a family-owned manufacturer behind every pool we hand the keys to. That's the pool you take home from Gordo's Pool City, backed by an authorized Doughboy dealer that has stood behind American-made pools in the Central Valley since 1956.
