Looking for a pool shop in Auburn? Clear H2O’s brick-and-mortar pool supply store is at 520 Opelika Road, Auburn, AL 36830. We opened it in March 2011 so Auburn and Opelika pool owners would have a local place to pick up chemicals, parts, and equipment — and get straight answers from the same people who service pools in this area every week. We’ve been Auburn and Opelika’s locally owned pool company since 2004, and the store is where our service business and our customers meet.
We’re not a franchise or a national chain. When you walk in or call (334) 821-7809, you’re talking to someone who lives here, knows the local climate, and understands what East Alabama pools go through from one season to the next.
What You’ll Find in Our Pool Store
- Pool chemicals — the chemicals you need to keep your water balanced and sanitized, whether you take care of your own pool or just need to top off between service visits.
- Pool parts — replacement parts to keep your system running, so a small failure doesn’t turn into a lost weekend.
- Pool equipment — pumps, filters, and robotic cleaning systems.
- Vinyl liner pattern samples — see liner patterns in person before a liner replacement, and pick one without feeling rushed.
- Expert advice — honest recommendations about what your pool actually needs, not what makes the biggest receipt.
Advice from People Who Service Pools Every Week
The biggest difference between our store and a big-box aisle is who’s behind the counter. Clear H2O is owned and run by Jason and Joe, who started the business in 2004. Jason has 31 years of experience in the pool industry, and Joe — our equipment specialist — has 29. Joe knows pool equipment inside and out, from pumps and filters to robotic cleaning systems, and he’ll walk you through your options without the upsell.
That matters when you’re standing in front of a shelf trying to decide what to buy. A pool that’s cloudy, green, or losing water can have several different causes, and the right fix depends on your pool, your equipment, and how it’s been cared for. Because we service pools across Auburn and Opelika, we’ve seen just about every problem a pool can have — and we’d rather help you solve the real problem than sell you something you don’t need.

Tips for Your Next Trip to the Pool Store
A little preparation makes it much easier to walk out with the right product the first time:
- Know your pool’s size. Chemical doses are based on gallons, so knowing roughly how much water your pool holds helps you buy and add the right amounts.
- Know your equipment. If you need a part or a replacement pump or filter, snap a photo of the equipment and its label (brand, model, and size). It’s the fastest way to match the right part.
- Bring the old part if you can. For small replacement parts, having the worn piece in hand removes the guesswork.
- Describe what you’re seeing. Cloudy water, algae, a pump that won’t prime, or a pool that keeps losing water each point toward different fixes. The more detail you share, the better our advice.
- Store chemicals safely at home. Keep them in their original, closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated spot out of reach of children and pets, never mix different chemicals together, and always add chemicals to water — not water to chemicals.
For a step-by-step look at routine care, our guide on how to clean a pool covers the basics of skimming, brushing, vacuuming, and testing and balancing your water.
What Pool Owners Need This Time of Year
Late fall and winter are the quiet season for most pools in Auburn and Opelika, but there’s still good reason to stop by the store:
- Closing your own pool? If your pool is still open, pick up the supplies and parts you need and ask us any questions before the first hard freeze. Our guide on when to close your pool covers timing, or let us handle it with our pool closing & winterization service.
- Keeping a closed pool healthy. Leaves, pine straw, and standing water on a cover can stain it and end up in the pool. Our winter pool care guide explains what to check while your pool is closed.
- Planning equipment upgrades. The off-season is a good time to replace an aging pump or filter, or to look at a robotic cleaner, before you need everything running again in spring.
- Picking a new liner. If your liner is faded, brittle, or leaking, winter is a smart time to look at pattern samples and plan a replacement ahead of the spring rush. See the 7 signs you need a new pool liner.
- Safety covers. Thinking about a custom-fit cover? Read mesh vs. solid pool safety covers or see our safety cover service.
A Pool Store Backed by a Full Service Team
Some pool owners like doing their own maintenance; others would rather never think about it. We support both. If you’d rather hand it off, the same team that runs the store offers:
- Weekly Pool Maintenance — recurring pool cleaning and chemical balancing
- Pool Opening — spring startup and equipment inspection
- Pool Closing & Winterization — end-of-season protection
- Pool Liner Replacement — full drain, removal, and custom-fit install
- Safety Covers — custom-fit mesh and solid cover installation
