The Blue Wave Riviera 30' x 15' oval hybrid above-ground pool (model NB12945, SKU PST-NB12945) pairs a 54" steel wall with a hybrid frame: 8" resin top seats and resin seat covers over 8" steel verticals, with 1" resin top and bottom rails. The wall, frame, hardware, plastic edging and a wide mouth skimmer with return come in the box, so you choose the overlap liner, filter system and ladder that suit your yard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the box?
The 54" steel wall, the hybrid frame with its resin joints, seat covers and caps, all assembly hardware, plastic edging and a wide mouth skimmer with return. The liner, filter system and ladder are sold separately, and the instructions call for an earth cove around the inside of the wall before the liner goes in.
Which liner fits this pool?
Choose an overlap liner sized for this 30' x 15' oval pool with its 54" wall. The liner folds over the top of the wall and the included plastic edging clips over it before the top rails go on.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. The instructions call for 2 or 3 people and a full day, so start early and skip windy days. Plan on removing all sod, getting the ground firm and level, raking a sand base and building an earth cove around the inside of the wall before the liner goes in.
What does the warranty cover?
The 30-year limited warranty covers the pool wall and frame components. The liner, filter, pump, ladder and skimmer are not covered by the pool warranty, and the pool must be set up above ground on level ground, following the instructions.
Do I keep water in the pool over winter?
Yes. Keep the pool filled through the winter. In areas that freeze, lower the water to about 6 in below the lowest skimmer opening, then hold that level steady. Snow and ice on a winter cover need the water underneath for support, and the pool should never be left standing empty.

How your pool ships
A pool kit is far too large and heavy to go out by UPS or FedEx, so it ships strapped to a pallet on a freight (LTL) truck. Shipping is free anywhere in the contiguous United States. We ship Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Scheduling your delivery
Freight does not work like a parcel delivery that simply turns up. Once your pool reaches the freight terminal nearest you, the carrier will normally call to arrange a delivery appointment, so please make sure the phone number on your order is one you actually answer. Deliveries to commercial addresses are often made without a call ahead.
On delivery day
An adult needs to be there to receive the shipment and sign for it. Freight delivery is curbside: the driver brings the pallet down to the end of your driveway and is not able to carry it into a yard, garage or back deck, so plan on a couple of people to move everything from there. If your road is narrow, unpaved, or has weight limits, the carrier may ask to meet you somewhere nearby that a full-size truck can reach.
Check the shipment before you sign
This is the one step worth slowing down for. Before you sign the delivery receipt, walk the pallet and count the cartons against the paperwork, looking for crushed corners, tears or packaging that has shifted in transit. If anything looks off, write it on the delivery receipt before you sign and photograph it.
Please still accept the shipment even if you find damage. Noting it on the receipt is what protects your claim, whereas refusing the delivery outright makes it considerably slower to put right. Then contact us within 48 hours with your order number and the photos, and we will take it from there.
Returns
Pools can be returned within 30 days of delivery provided they are unused, undamaged and still in the original packaging. A $5 return charge applies where the return is for a change of mind. Do note that several items commonly added to a pool kit — liners, winter covers and solar covers among them — cannot be returned once shipped, so it is worth double-checking those choices before ordering.
