Marc Chalupnicki

After 15 years with no serious difficulties opening our 24' above ground pool, this year was completely different. I kept encountering problem after problem in the pool cover, skimmer box, hoses, pump and filter. Some problems I could repair myself but I couldn't fit a new skimmer box onto the pool wall properly, and a collar connecting a hose to the filter was leaking severely. I fought with the pool for two vacation days and the water was getting greener by the day. I also had other projects to attend to around the housebefore my vacation ended with an out-of-town trip. While I was making yet another trip to a local pool supply store, I found Marc Chalupnicki's business card at the store. Marc advertises for pool openings and closings, as well as pump and filter repair, so I took a shot and gave him a call. He returned my call promptly and we set up a time for him to come over. He arrived on time, early in fact, and diagnosed the problems and repaired both the skimmer box and the filter. He also offered advise regarding chlorinating the pool and the use of algaecide. His standard opening fee is $100 - $125, and he charged me the agreed upon price of $100. A bit expensive but it was worth it to have these headaches eliminated. Marc was knowledgeable and professional and I would definately hire him again to handle an opening, closing or repair.
