they were promoting a 2 x 4 foot pool solar heater. I told him that couldn't possible work. they said if I got two of them it would work. I still didn't believe him. then he said if it don't work just return it to us for a full refund and then he pointed out that it says it warrantied for one year on the box. so I tried it and it didn't do anything and returned it within the one year. they said the owner was not in so I left it there and came back and hes never in and never gave me my money back and they kept the worthless solar panels.

Description of Work: This is kind of tricky. The Pool Store has answered all of our questions, Tony is great to work with, very helpful and explains things very clearly. The only reason I give them a 'B' rating is because our salesman, who will remain unnamed, wasn't quite as forthcoming with potential issues as we would've liked, specifically with our electrical. We were made to believe it would not be an issue at all and that it would be reasonable to have our outlet installed. This proved not to be the case, at all. Our initial quote came in at $2,500!!! We found someone to do it for $1,300, if I dig the 150' trench myself to bury the conduit. I don't think our salesman did a bad job, necessarily, but he sugarcoated things way too much and should've prepared us better for this huge investment, and potential increases in cost. The installers were excellent and professional, but it did cost another $1,650. They did a fabulous job though. My point is, I would recommend the Pool Store to my friends, but I would warn that costs can go up quickly, and you need to do your homework before you commit. Our electrical costs are not the fault of the Pool Store, but they needed to make us aware that it could get expensive. We LOVE our pool, and are happy we did it, but a few less headaches would've been nice. Make sure you get an estimate on electrical first, permit fees, etc. Our costs with the Pool Store were around $4,500, plus $1,650 for installation, $1,300 for electrical, and $200 for permits, for a total of $8,650. Now that everything is done, it looks beautiful and has been a joy. We are looking forward to many summers in it!

Description of Work: We came in to price out a pool & worked with Howie. He answered all our questions when we were there & continued to answer them when we called with more. We chose The Pool Store for the customer service and price. The are always there to answer any questions we have & are very knowledgeable. It says something when you walk in & they know you by name! I will recommend them to anyone looking for a pool or even those who have a pool, but need advice regarding up keep.

It went great. They replaced my above ground pool liner as it was an insurance claim. They originally installed our pool in 2003. They have been great for customer service and any repair work. I buy most of my pool chemicals there and the staff is great. If you have a doughboy pool, I would strongly recommend The Pool Store. Keep up the great work.

They are wonderful. They gave me free sample products to try out. They take their time and effort to fix your problem. They don't sell their product, they service it. They are more than willing to sit with you and work out. They really give good advice. They really fix your problem. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used The Pool Store three days ago. I brought some chemical and they gave me $50 of free products.

GAZEBO WAS DELIVERED WITH SHIPPING DAMAGE AND WRITING ON IT. THE POOL STORE ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS AND NEVER CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER WHEN THEY ARRIVED. THE CUSTOMER CALLED THE POOL STORE SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE IF PARTS HAD ARRIVED. THE PARTS WERE SENT AND SET IN THE STORE FOR 6 WEEKS AND THE POOL STORE BLAMED IT ON THE CUSTOMER AND CLAIMS SHE NEVER CALLED TO ASK ABOUT IT. SHE CALLED A LOT. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE.

Response from THE POOL STORE
The gazebo is a crated pre-made package we order from a company direct. We then bring it out to our customers witch they some time choose to install them selves. There fore the crate is never opened and we don't see issues like above stated. We would never let some thing like that happen if we know about the issues. In this case we had no idea the pieces of the gazebo had vulgar writing on them or about the damaged parts. We should have opened the crate prior to delivery and this would have never happened. We have stopped ordering from this gazebo manufacturer because of this issue. I can not say the customer is wrong but we will contact you as soon as your parts arrive. We would never sit on parts for 6 weeks and not call. This just isn't how we do business. We apologized to the customers and even installed the bad parts free of charge. We try our best to help our customers as much as possible. We will always work with you to come up with a solution. In this case all I can say is sorry for the bad experience we all learn from our mistakes. Thanks The Pool Store
