Resources

“VDA has had a decades long relationship with DB Perks and have used them as a supplier and resource on the design and delivery of dozens of aquatic facilities not only in British Columbia, but right across Canada. We have relied on their team’s expertise not only as a supplier of quality commercial aquatic supplies, but as a technical and design resource. When questions arise about filtration systems, unique product requirements, or any fixture or fitting for an aquatic centre, our go to response is “Call DB Perks & Associates!” Whether it’s to gain a better understanding of a particular product, find the latest innovation for any aspect of aquatic equipment, or discuss the pros and cons of different solutions, we have found their product knowledge to be key in making the right selection for each unique project.  The team at DP Perks are not just salespeople, they are problem solvers with real world experience in the industry”.

“We are a small indoor pool along the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. We have been dealing with Commercial Aquatic Supplies for around 10 years now. We have bought, fins, pool equipment & numerous pool supplies from them over the years.  The products we have bought have been of great quality along with a great price. We love their fins as they also float. So, when a child loses one, we do not have to go to the bottom of the pool to fish it out. Commercial’s shipping is prompt, usually the same day as ordered. The personal service and support they provide are amazing.  Any issue we have ever had was dealt with immediately, with the utmost professionalism. I would recommend this company to any pool looking for great prices and excellent personal service. They are simply the best pool supply company I have dealt with in my 45 years of aquatics”.

“I have been working with DB Perks/Commercial Aquatics since I worked in Surrey in the 1980's and 1990's and subsequently for the past 13 years at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. The expertise and follow up are what sets them apart from other suppliers that I have worked with over the years. Whenever I have a question or a problem they have been able to help me out one way or another. I have recommended them to other recreation facilities in the past and continue to do so today. They are very knowledgeable and professional and always a pleasure to work with”.

“The City of Whitehorse has been a customer of Commercial Aquatic Supplies for over 20 years spanning across both of our facilities (Whitehorse Lions pool and the Canada Games Centre). Commercial Aquatics was a main supplier to help the city build and maintain The Canada Games Centre through the 2007 Canada Winter Games and 4 Arctic Winter Games. Without the help of Bill, Jim, Amanda, and Michelle over the years this would have been daunting. Being a northern community, and able to count on a company to rush parts and chemicals to us has been fantastic. Relying on the wealth of knowledge from the Commercial Aquatic staff is a great asset.  We don’t always have the time or the funds to bring up a pool specialist to Whitehorse but I remember quite often speaking with Bill or Jim to get us out of a jam on short notice and for that, I’m very thankful. I would recommend Commercial Aquatic Supplies to any other Pool Manager or Operator. I am always amazed at the patience and how quickly they responded to inquiries and orders”.

“I would like to toss out well-deserved kudos to the incredible advice and service that we have received from DB Perks and Associates Ltd. Commercial Aquatic Supplies. We have been working directly with the team for about 5 years now and they have been with us EVERY step of the way as our community works diligently to upgrade our swimming competition facility to modern standards. We needed it all. FINA approved starting platforms, high-performance lane lines, state of the art timing system, and scoreboard. They have offered us stellar professional guidance to help secure this much-needed equipment and have done so with a high level of expertise along with a pleasant and supporting demeanour at ALL times”.

I have been working with DB Perks & Associates Ltd. - Commercial Aquatic Supplies on new build pool projects and renovations to existing aquatic complexes throughout my 30-year career.  We found that they have an extensive mechanical product line for designing quality commercial pools.  They provide technical support in design as well as operational that reassures AME that the product will be supported.
