My husband and I are disabled veterans. The house we bought last year has an above ground pool, and we were in need of somebody to "open " it for the season, and clean it and put in chemicals, because we just aren't really able to. We were told the service we requested would cost about 500, depending on the chemicals they used. So, they came out the day we scheduled it for, but, didn't call, didn't give us an arrival time, or anything. I just noticed somebody on my pool deck and went out to greet them. They did put our skimmer back in, and turned on the filter. They also did some cleaning and put some chemicals in. But, since the water got cloudy, they stopped cleaning it and left. The whole thing took 45 minutes at the most. They told my husband if it was still cloudy the next day, call them, and they would come back out the next day and do more work. So, the next day, it still looks bad. My husband called them back, and was told by a lady on the phone, that if They came back out, it would be a "service call", and they charge 180 an hour, and it would take 3 hours. We were under the impression that what we already paid would cover that, since we did tell them we needed cleaning and opening. We assumed they would clean it until it was satisfactory. The woman on the phone said, oh no, you just paid for the pool to be "opened", and that doesn't include cleaning. My husband said, well, they didn't tell me that yesterday, and the lady said back, "Oh, no , they wouldn't". Well, the reason I gave 1 star is that I felt we were ripped off because they kept saying we are "novice" pool owners. Why would that be important to notate? Also, we could not find any price lists for any of their services on their website, so, now I know they ripped us off. It is probably the reason they don't list prices. So, I am writing this review so others will know NOT to trust them. They don't have up front pricing, and they don't disclose their fees unless asked, and then, I just don't trust businesses that operate that way, and I will NEVER use them again. It just makes me sick that a business can be so underhanded. Also, I don't like that they have my debit card "on file", so they can charge me whenever they want. I will be changing my card now. Just don't want others ripped off. Call ANYBODY else first for your pool needs. SO Disappointed. read more
