Frequently Asked Questions
What should I stock first?
Start with the most popular products in Graphite Gray—it’s the closest match to stainless and blends well in most backyards. Focus on top SKUs like grab rails, ladders, and surface-mount options. If you’re unsure, ask for the Saftron Buying Guide to help plan initial orders.
What if a dealer wants to use non-Saftron anchors?
Saftron rails work with standard anchor sizes. If a dealer prefers metal anchors, it can be done—just note that using metal may reintroduce bonding requirements depending on local code. Saftron plays well with others, but bonding benefits may be reduced.
Do you offer touch-up paint?
No need—Saftron uses solid colored tubing. There’s no exposed metal and no powder coating to chip, so there’s nothing to touch up. If powder-coated steel chips, it can rust within weeks. Saftron won’t.
Can you cut the rails to custom lengths?
No. Cutting rails voids the warranty. However, leg extensions are available. For special requests, talk to Saftron about available jig options—they’re popular and often given away.
Do I have to own my home to apply for financing?
Yes, the applicant must be listed as the owner of record on the deed to the property where the pool is to be constructed.
Can I pay the loan off early? Will I be charged for doing so?
There are no prepayment penalties so you can pay the loan off early and not be charged any additional interest.
How much will my monthly loan payment be?
Your monthly loan payment amount is dependent on many factors, including your loan amount, term, and credit profile. Our Pool Loan Calculator is a great resource for exploring potential monthly payments, and can be accessed by clicking “Loan Calculator,” located in the black bar, towards the top center of the page.
What are your loan qualifications/requirements?
We look at your overall credit health, including your credit score and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. Ideally, we like to see a DTI of 50 percent or less (including the amount of the loan you’re requesting). We also look for any recent negative marks, such as bankruptcies or tax liens. We are able to offer financing solutions for most applicants with a credit score of 660 and above. There is a minimum credit score of 660 required; however, it is not entirely credit score driven. The underwriter will review your entire credit profile, past payment performance, and experience with large secured and unsecured loans. All loan decisions are at the discretion of our lending partners.
What credit bureau do you use?
We rely on the expertise of TransUnion, but our lenders may use any of the “Big Three” reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
How do I apply? Can I apply over the phone?
Applications are accepted online only. You cannot apply via phone. To begin the application, click “Qualify Now!,” located in the black bar, towards the top right of the page.
I just applied for a swimming pool loan, what happens next?
Thank you for applying! Once we receive your application, we can typically have a conditional approval for you within 1-2 business days. A member of our loan team will personally review your application, ensuring you are paired with the best program for your needs and qualifications. We then reach out directly to you and go over the details and next steps in the loan process. Of course, our friendly and knowledgeable specialists are always just a quick phone call away to provide updates or answers to any questions you may have.
What pool builder can I use for my project?
We can work with most pool builders. If the pool builder of your choice has not worked with us before, there is a brief setup process.
How does the builder get paid? Can you give the funds to me?
Most fundings involve paying the pool builder directly in stages, according to the progress of the project. This ensures that the contractor is receiving the appropriate payments in the appropriate increments. In most cases, before each stage’s payment is released, we ask that you complete a brief electronic form to verify that the scope of work for that stage has been completed.
Do you charge builders fees?
No, all of our services are absolutely free to builders.
Can I build my own pool?
No, we do not currently finance any owner-builds at this time.
