After more than 10 years of having Aqua Clear service our pool, we finally cancelled them in November and went with someone else and we are very glad we did. Our pool is now being serviced for half -- and sometime more than half -- of what we ended up paying Aqua Clear each month once the chemical charges were added. In addition, with our new service, the sides of our pool have ceased to turn brown even without the addition of the "blue stuff" that Aqua Clear said was needed to prevent the browning and for which we were charged up to about $300. Today, with our new service, our pool looks better then it ever has despite the fact that it needs to be replastered. Our new pool service provider has told us that the pool probably would not need replastering if it had been properly serviced over the years. Our new pool service technician spends nearly an hour vacuuming, scrubbing and balancing the chemical each time he services the pool. The Aqua Clear "technician" seldom spent more than 15 minutes and rarely actually scrubbed the sides. read more
