John's company is punctual, cleaning our pool each Tuesday. Our pool is sparkling and ALWAYS clean. What I love most is that they leave a note to tell me exactly what was done, how much or IF any chemicals were needed and exactly what the ph level of the pool is. I also love his newsletter that comes with each month's bill. It is full of timely information and things to consider to help keep my pool at it's best. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended company!

Mr. Adkins himself signed me up and his initial visit was very informative. He does this work because he enjoys pools and he is a pool owner himself. His approach is informative but low key, low pressure. His helper came as scheduled and I can always tell when the pool service has been here even before I find the visit notes that he leaves on the back porch. I would definitely recommend Adkins.

Have a salt water pool with automated chlorinator and muriatic acid pump. The service is good and the price is reasonable and John is very easy to get in touch with. Have had cheaper service but the reliability has not been as good. John and his daughter clean the filter regularly and have been keeping the pool quite clean and the filter working reliably. The price is a little high and there have been occasions when they have not had salt and put chlorine in the pool, something we would prefer was not done but all-in-all we are quite pleased with the service.

I am so happy I signed up with Angie's List to find a pool service company. John is wonderful to work with and he's also very knowledgeable. My pool looks really good now. It was in very bad condition when he first started working on it, so I'm very pleased.

John removed the filters, took them to another vendor for repair, reinstalled them, and then cleaned the pool. He was very friendly and professional. He called about 2 weeks after the work to make sure that everything was working okay.

We have been using Adkins Pool Service for more than a year. They come out like clock work every week and clean and add/adjust chemicals as needed. John is dependable, always lets us know if he is going to have to change his schedule in any way. We like his "less is more" attitude when it comes to chemicals. He knows his trade well and is reasonably priced and very professional. We would recommend Adkins Pool Service to anyone looking for a solid dependable pool cleaning service.

I have been using John Adkins for over 1 year. He is the 5th pool service I have used since I purchased my home, 17 years ago, and he is far and away the best!. No more green water, no more burning eyes from chlorine shock.. If there is a problem, he goes ahead and fixes it. He saved me $$ by arranging to have my Polaris fixed, rather than replacing it, like my previous service wanted to do. He gives you a weekly note, showing you what he did and the amount of chemicals used. His monthly, itemized statement shows you your basic charge per week and the extra charge for chemicals. I like that because he will not skimp with chemicals like the other services did. Now my pool is always in tip-top shape.

Very well. I found John this Spring through Angie's list. We saw evidence of black mold in our pool and neither my husband or myself were willing. I believe it was a Saturday when I called him and he came out that afternoon (which shocked me)! John even started the treatment that day and said he'd be back on Monday (which he was). He quickly got rid of the mold and offered a very reasonable weekly maintenance service. Since then, we've had problems maintaining the correct chlorine levels and John put in extra time to try and get to the heart of the problem. I feel like John really takes pride in his job. I would definitely recommend him.

Have been very happy with John's service and he takes all the time needed to answer any questions I have and to do a little extra follow up if I notice something. I know he does several homes in our development and I would highly recommend considering his service if you are in the market for pool service help.
Description of Work: John Adkins started doing our weekly pool service every Tuesday starting on 4/9/13 and has been coming by our house every Tuesday since. John is a very friendly person that strikes me as being very conscientious about the service he provides and his price is very fair with a standard weekly price plus his cost for whatever chemicals he needs to add. He sweeps and vacuums the pool, ensure chemicals are all in balance, cleans pool filter on a regular basis. Also he has said if we are having a special pool party (ie on the weekend) to give him sufficient notice and he will schedule the cleaning a day or so before the party that week.

I needed a reliable pool service to take care of my 10k gallon pool while I deployed. I have large oak trees all around my yard and the leaves have been my nemesis for the past few years as I've done my own maintenance. Adkins has been extremely easy to deal with. Their estimate/quote was exactly what they have charged. I am paying $25 per visit plus a few dollars for fuel, and a few dollars for chemicals (no more than what you would pay for chemicals at a store). The price is very reasonable for the quality of service! They are here for maybe an hour or so, and my pool is cleaner and better looking than what I was able to do after hours and hours of work! Either they are really good at what they do or I am not the greatest pool maintainer. Either way, they have done an outstanding job and I would recommend them to anyone. So much so that I plan to keep them, saving me a lot of time and headaches. Thanks Adkins!!!
Description of Work: Adkins Pool Service initially serviced my pool weekly until the pool was in excellent condition. They are now coming every other week. They check the quality of the water each time they come; they clean the pool; remove any leaves; and add any necessary chemicals.

He showed up on time weekly but the quality of his workmanship was poor. I tested the pool twice the day after he balanced my pool at 2 different pool stores and they both said the same thing. The chlorie was extremely low and several other tests failed too. Spent $130 worth of chemicals to balance out the pool. Also had to tell him to clean the pool tiles.....just poor quality work. Would not recommend

Response from Purple Heart Pools Inc.
The member was very difficult to work with. He had low chlorine levels because he has a salt system. I had added two bags of salt already. It is best to gradually raise salt levels because levels too high will ruin equipment and cause corrosion in the pool. The tile cleaning was not included in the service I quoted him. Also he expressed no dissatisfaction in his work except that I missed one small spot of algae near the steps, but it was pouring rain the day of that visit making it difficult to see to clean. He failed to mention the extra cleaning I did with his filter. It is impossible to please every customer.

John has been coming and doing the pool for a month now, and the water is fabulous looking! He is meticulous to detail, gave me the very suggestions I was looking for (as a test). My pool has never looked better and my equipment is being well taken care of. He leaves me a detailed note each time and always discusses whatever my needs are.
