Description of Work: I have used Pool Tech for pool upgrades, repairs and service. We also used them for pool service when we are out of town. We have found Wally to be very knowledgeable, dependable and trustworthy.

Wally is just a good guy who does his very best to satisfy his customers. He is polite to a fault and will drop everything on a weekend or holiday regardless of the hour to solve a problem. Some pool problems do not provide easy solutions but Wally will stick to it until he gets the job done. We have bee using PoolTec for a couple of years now and Wally has become a trusted family friend. In the past we had some very serious problems with an unethical pool service company, so doing buisiness with Wally is indeed a refreshing change.
Description of Work: Pool clearing and other pool services

Wally sent a technician to assess the problem with our pool pump. Then it took another week to come out to do the work (change out the timer, fix the wiring, remove the booster pump). Charged what I thought was a lot. Not very good at cleaning up after. Took the "off" tab to the timer so now I have to go out every night to turn off the pump. I called Wally about it and he said he'd bring it back by the end of the week. That was 2 weeks ago. I tried to buy a set of on/off tabs at Home Depot but they didn't fit the timer I have, so now I have to keep calling him until he brings me the tab.
Description of Work: Our pool pump was not working when I attempted to get the pool clean and running for the season. It turned out to be a bad timer. We also found out that the wiring between the timer and pump was done incorrectly when it was originally installed. We had a booster pump for a Polaris that we no longer used, so we wanted that removed from the system, too.

Kept raising the prices for us, but offered substantially lower prices for new customers. Don't trust them.

I would recommend Pool Tech to anyone, without reservation or hesitation.
Description of Work: We had a serious water leak in our pool. I called on 6/2 in the morning and Wally Womble, owner of Pool Tech, came out himself, that afternoon. He checked the pool for leaks and fixed them. Wally took the time to answer some other questions I had regarding the liner and spa, giving suggestions and solutions that were inexpensive and innovative and never once pressured me into anything. Several weeks later, we had a baby water moccasin enjoying a swim in our pool. I called Pool Tech, left a message and within 15 minutes, Wally called me from his vacation (he was out of town). Always up for a challenge, I wanted to try and get it out myself. Wally gave me a few suggestions, but said he would send out one of his tech's. I was adamant about doing it myself, but his suggestions were helpful and I succeeded!

It did not go well and we did not use this company. First, it took a total of three emails to get a reply phone call. Reason for not calling? "I've been busy." When asked if his company repaired cracks and painted pools, the answer was "No." He said the paint would wash off in 6 months. I know that's not true. We've painted before, and it lasts at least 3 years or longer. Gave up on the pool, and asked if they repaired leaks in spas. "NO." So with us, this company is 0 for 2 tries. Apparently this was NOT a "match made in heaven." We won't be using them, and it's clear they won't miss our work since they're so "busy."
Description of Work: Wow! Not a peep from the company in response to multiple emails asking if they could do some work. Not even the courtesy of a reply saying, "Sorry, we don't do that type of work." Cannot evaluate their workmanship because they never responded at all to multiple emails asking if they did pool painting and if they repaired spa leaks. Nada. Nothing. UPDATE: Finally got a return call after three email requests. Caller just said, "I've been busy" as his reason for not responding. I was then told if I painted my in ground pool, it would wash off "within 6 months." That's not true. I've painted it before and it's lasted 3 or more years. This company is clearly not interested in minor repairs for older pools. He was interested in a complete re-marcite job, but that costs thousands, not a few hundred that repainting costs. He also said they did not repair spa leaks. That makes them 2 for 2 in being unresponsive to my pool and spa needs. Makes me wonder why they list themselves as a "pool and spa" repair service. I won't be calling them again for any estimates. Period.

Response from Pool Tech
I do not recall getting several emails from this client or talking to him. As for painting swimming pools, I do not provide that service because typically the paint starts chalking very soon after application and then you have a bigger problem than what you started with. Later on, if you do decide to re-marcite your pool properly, you have to spend as much as $3500 to sand blast the old paint off before you can apply the new finish. We have several swimming pools that we service that have been" painted" and it is a constant battle to deal with the chalking and chipping of the paint, therefore, I do not paint pools or recommend having them painted. I do not recall ever speaking to you. You can call my cell at 850-545-7484 and I will gladly discuss any pool or spa issue you may have and will even come out to your house at no charge to give you a free inspection.

They are doing a very good job. I usually pay $125 every month. They come out every week. I like them very much. They are honest, prompt, and reliable. I will use this company in the future.
Description of Work: I am currently using Pool Tech. They service my pool. The last time they came out was a week ago.

I only wish they provided warranty service on our SpaMaster spas, so we could get the other guys out of the picture completely!
Description of Work: After being overcharged for a couple of years by a pool and spa service that rhymes with "rain", we called around and found Wally Womble's company, Pool Tech. They charge a flat fee with no add-ons, and even have done minor repairs (like replacing a broken handle on a diverter) at no charge.The pool always looks good, and a plus is they blow off the deck after they are done. The spa at first had gritty residues when they were done, but after we complained they seemed to find the right combination of chemistry and it's been fine.
