A family company established in 1967, Doheny's LLC has a long and reputable tradition of supplying their customers high-quality, low-priced swimming pool supplies with friendly, knowledgeable customer service and without the delay or hassle. Over forty years ago, Tom and Kathy Doheny tired of wasting time and money by driving to the nearest pool store, buying overpriced products, and loading and unloading their supplies by themselves. When they realized that other people in the area with pools faced similar problems, the couple began selling low-priced pool supplies out of the garage to local pool owners. Today, their pool supply company is the nation's leading, direct to the pool owner, distributor of discount pool supplies. Doheny’s LLC has nine warehouses nationwide, the lowest prices and the largest selection in the industry. Pool Supply Company Doheny's LLC has warehouses in Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Florida, Tennesee, Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas and Nevada for next day delivery for most customers. For the last forty years, Doheny's has taken the hassle and guesswork out of buying pool supplies. In another step toward providing customers high quality, low priced merchandise without the fuss, the discount pool company has opened several warehouses from which many customers receive their purchases the next day. "​In these tough economic times, more and more people across the country are looking for new ways to save,"​ said Doheny's CEO John Doheny. “Turning your pool maintenance into a simple do-it-yourself project with the help of Doheny's saves money and time without added hassle. With the addition of our new warehouse, Florida pool owners will be able to take control and order whatever low-cost pool supplies they need – pool chemicals, cleaners, toys, and accessories – and receive them at their door the next day at no extra charge."​
