Best Places For Pool Accessories In Chicago

Just like how a tall glass of ice tea with condensation dripping down the side of the glass can make one's mouth water on a hot summer day, viewing a pristine swimming pool with sparkles of sunshine shimming upon the water can make a person ache just as deeply. Summer has officially come to the city of Chicago, and with it came the heat, the humidity, and the sun's blazing rays that, although we've waited with baited breath for the dog days of summer, at times it can be a little draining and uncomfortable. So when the temps begin to smolder, one of the best ways to feel relief while having fun at the same time is in a pool. And be it your own or one that you're visiting, you're going to need some adornments for the day. So here are some of the best places for pool accessories in Chicago to visit when shopping for your swimming pool needs.

With a city as large as Chicago there's no shortage in big chain stores for pretty much anything one might need. But what's lacking in most of those establishments is a more personal experience, attention to detail, and a team of customer service members who know the products inside and out. And that's exactly what you'll get at Norbert Pools in nearby Niles, a family-run business that's served the Chicago area since the early 1950s. From a full line of not only pool accessories but pools themselves, if you're looking to add something awesome to your yard this year, Norbert's also has all the fun pool toys, accessories and necessary chemicals as well. It's not even just about the pool either, as they also carry an array of patio furniture, and even Foosball and poker tables, dart boards and more for indoor excitement.

In-ground, above ground (hot tubs) there are plenty of ways to have fun in the water this summer, but you're going to need some equipment and supplies first. Come by Russo's Pool And Spa in Northlake for one-stop shopping and stock up on water clarifiers and water enhancers, inflatables for kids and adults, and even the less-glamorous supplies like liners, covers and pumps. Russo's even has a selection of gas and electric fireplaces that are perfect for sitting by on chilly winter nights, or after a long day in the swimming pool. An authorized dealer of the biggest and best brands in pool essentials, Russo's has been family-owned since 1988 with a loyal customer base that keeps coming back for more.
