iPoolgo vs GIGI FRANCE: what's the difference?

Publie le 14 juillet 2026

Editorial note. This comparison is published by GIGI (UNISHOP LLC) on an independent website. It is neither an official iPoolgo page nor an attempt to disparage that brand: both product lines are compared on factual, verifiable criteria.

iPoolgo France and GIGI FRANCE both build their pools on the same drop stitch technology, but they are separate companies with different market focus, warranty terms, and support structures. iPoolgo France sells within France, in euros, through piscineipoolgo.com. GIGI FRANCE ships across the continental United States, with a presence extending to Canada and Mexico, in US dollars, through gigifrance.com. This page walks through where the two overlap and where they genuinely differ, without inflating either side.

A shared technological starting point

Both brands build their pools using high-pressure drop stitch construction: two fabric layers connected by thousands of short internal threads, inflated to a working pressure in the neighborhood of 15 PSI, which locks the wall rigid without any metal frame. That shared foundation is not a coincidence. GIGI FRANCE's founder spent several years as the official distributor of iPoolgo pools in France, managing installations and after-sales support, before launching an independent product line under the GIGI FRANCE name.

That history explains the technical family resemblance between the two brands' pools — round and rectangular drop stitch construction, comparable wall heights, similar setup process — while the two companies have operated independently since GIGI FRANCE launched. Neither brand endorses or is affiliated with the other today.

Depth: what changed

iPoolgo France's published specifications put wall heights around 4 ft to 5 ft (1.20 m to 1.50 m) across its round range, at a working pressure of roughly 15 PSI. GIGI FRANCE's current US catalog lists depths of 4 ft or 5 ft across most models, at a comparable pressure rating. On paper, the two ranges land in a similar depth bracket — both are built to allow an adult to stand chest-deep or take a few real strokes, rather than just wade, which is the main practical advantage of drop stitch construction over a standard ring-top inflatable pool.

The meaningful difference here is less about a specific number and more about consistency: shoppers comparing individual models should check each product page directly, since depth varies model to model within both catalogs, and iPoolgo France's specifications should always be verified on piscineipoolgo.com at the time of purchase, since product ranges evolve.

Warranty and after-sales support

This is where the two brands genuinely diverge, and it is worth being precise instead of reaching for a bigger-number claim. iPoolgo France states a 12-month warranty and a 90-day return window on its site. GIGI FRANCE also states a 1-year commercial warranty covering its pools, covers, and accessories, alongside a 30-day return policy from the delivery date — so the headline warranty length is comparable between the two brands, not a point of real differentiation.

Where GIGI FRANCE does differ is in the support structure built around that warranty: a dedicated team reachable within 24 hours by email, phone, or WhatsApp, plus a sand filter included with each pool rather than sold as a separate accessory. Those are the differentiators worth knowing about — not a warranty-length gap that does not actually exist between the two brands.

Available shapes: round and rectangular

Both brands offer round and rectangular pools — this is not a point of differentiation either. iPoolgo France's catalog spans round diameters from roughly 6.5 ft to 33 ft (2 m to 10 m) plus a separate rectangular range, some models with an integrated bench along one wall. GIGI FRANCE's current US catalog likewise covers both round pools (from roughly 6.5 ft to nearly 20 ft in diameter) and rectangular pools in a range of length-by-width combinations, several with a built-in bench.

For a shopper choosing between the two, shape availability comes down to which specific model fits a given yard, not which brand "has" rectangular pools and which doesn't — both do.

Comparison table

This table reflects publicly available information from each brand's own site at the time of writing. Specifications, pricing, and policies can change on either side — always confirm current details on iPoolgo France's site, piscineipoolgo.com or gigifrance.com before ordering.

Which one should you choose?

The honest answer is that it depends mostly on where you live, not on which brand builds the "better" pool — the underlying technology is the same family. If you're shopping from France, iPoolgo France's retail site is the direct option: French pricing, French delivery, and a catalog you can browse in your own currency without a cross-border order. If you're shopping from the continental US, Canada, or Mexico, GIGI FRANCE is the option actually built for that market: US dollar pricing, imperial sizing on every product page, and a support team operating on US time zones.

Where the two brands do differ meaningfully — support responsiveness, what's bundled with the pool, return windows — those differences matter more to your day-to-day ownership experience than the shared drop stitch technology underneath. If you're comparing them side by side purely on paper, expect a lot of overlap; the real decision usually comes down to which brand can actually ship to your address and support you afterward.
