Description of Work: Fixed my hot tub. The tech would not give up on trying to fix the problem without replacing parts that may/may not need replacing. Awesome service. The only problem I had was with Angie's List. I left multiple messages for the Pool Store to contact me without any results. Finally I stopped in the store and they told me they were not a client of Angie's List and had not received any requests. After that everything was great!

The pool and quot;was an is AWESOME! Yes, it was expensive (almost $11,000), but like they say and quot;You get what you pay for, and we got the best pool on the market with the best warranty on the market combined with professional, prompt service. What more could anyone ask for? Also, the owner, Rory Stringer, was very, very knowledgeable and has proven more than once that he cares as much after the sale as before. I would recommend The Pool Store to anyone looking for a pool!

Description of Work: Purchased hot tub- install went okay - installers didnt really know much about spa care and told us to watch the DVD but at the time of sale owner/manager Rory spent more time bragging about himself than talking about the hot tub. Once we paid for it, he didn't seem to care about contacting us to tell us when we could get it delivered. Was a real a dealing with him after the fact- I wish we would have just got our money back and looked elsewhere. Never returned calls to schedule install, never called back to tell us results of water analysis, no follow up call after install to see how we were doing with the new hot tub- nothing. At this point in time I'm not sure how much trouble they would give us if we were to have a service issue. I would not purchase from him again. Their products seem to be good quality but we just didnt enjoy working with him.

Excellent. The price was probably higher than average, but you get what you pay for. Our pool had/has a lifetime warranty, is great for saltwater and has been a life changer for our family. Thanks Pool Store for a job well done!

Walk in with my water sample, the girl working the counter does a computerized test on the water sample I bring, and suggest what chemicals I need to keep the water balanced. This makes pool ownership a much simpler routine.
Description of Work: I purchase repair parts and chemicals for my above ground pool from The Pool Store regularly. Their water testing is accurate and the chemical costs are lower than anywhere else I've checked.

Giving a new company some business, we had considered some of the other higher priced spa services prior to calling The Pool Store. They had beat all the competitors by at least $1,000 for what we needed done to our hot tub. The pump and heater needed to be replaced in which we thought would be a quick fix. However, once the pool crew (usually two guys at a time) began working on our system, they continued to find more things wrong which required re-plumbing the entire hot tub. No problem. However, it seemed that everytime someone showed up, it would cost us extra for parts and labor in which, at times, it was never the same two guys working on the unit. Not only that, but when they said they had completed the plumbing portion (2 months later), they had not plumbed it back correctly - we only had jets at our back and no bubbles in the seat. Also, we would actually have to get OUT of the hot tub and walk to the unit in order to adjust the jet settings. We quickly realized why they were undercutting all their competitors - clearly, they don't have the technical knowledge to adequately fix hot tubs outside of basic "know how". I admit, our hot tub is an older unit, but I can hardly imagine why it has taken 5 months (still not running and/or fixed) to complete. We now have the heater and blower installed but a part (under warrenty) needs to be replaced. We haven't heard from The Pool Store in two weeks, and when we did, they said they had put in the wrong street address and still are waiting for the part. Yeah, sure. The way I see it is that hot tub season is upon them and, even though we have a part that is guaranteed and needs to be replaced, we are on the bottom of their priorities since we are not going to make them any money. After another month without a spa, we are seriously thinking about looking into taking them to small claims court. Do yourself a favor if you need pool work done and The Pool Store looks inticing due to their low prices --- Run to another pool and spa provider, pay a little bit more, and save yourself the headache!!!!
