FRITZ'S POOL SERVICE

Description of Work: The pipe work around our pool equipment was old and was starting to leak air and water. Previous owners had tried to fix the problem with caulk making a real mess. Fritz replaced the pipework from three inlets from the ground up to the pump and from the pump to the filter, and re-plumbed the booster pump for the Polaris as the hoses were too long and getting kinked.

Description of Work: I originally submitted a report last week stating how nice it was that he would come out on Saturday. However, since that time I have discovered that my back wash diverter valve is stuck...and he was working on it last week. He had to return to my house after the Polaris stopped running (after I had written the report), and was most unpleasant. I do not feel comfortable confronting him on the valve he left in the wrong position...I am having my home warranty company come out next week. In the meantime, my pool drains each time the pump comes on?! Now I will have to spend at least another $55 to have the problem fixed correctly - not to mention all the water I am wasting (causing an increased water bill).

Description of Work: Our pool pump motor was overheating and making loud noises. I suspected the bearings were burned out after the pump was let running dry for three days while we were away and our pet sitter did not keep the pool water level up. I called Fritz at lunchtime on a 106-degree day, and as before, he answered on the first ring. Also like before, he was at our door less than an hour later, and began work right away on replacing the motor with a new, identical unit. Fritz got the job done quickly, neatly, and professionally. He took the old pump motor out, went to the distributor to buy the replacement unit, and installed the new motor in less than 90 minutes. Less than 3 hours after my call, the new pump was up and running.

Description of Work: We got acquainted with Fritz because he does a lot of work as a sub for the company we used to remodel our pool when we purchased our home. He installed a new pool light for us when we had the pool remodeled, and we have used him a number of times since then for various repairs, pool education, etc. For this specific occasion, we had him come out to dive to the bottom of the pool to remove about 10 rust spots that were left on the pool from nails that fell into the pool when our (less than attentive to mess) window installers removed old windows and installed new ones. While he was here, he showed us how to break down the grids for cleaning in the pool filter.
