Unfortunately I am not able to rate my experience as 5 stars. Initially I thought I had found the…read moreperfect company (I got the "we'll fix your gate latch" treatment and they loved the family dog in the sales meeting...). That has all subsided and it has been a very poor experience. I have never written a negative review of any business prior to using Ranger Pools, but I feel compelled to inform others of my experience. The issue arose when I noticed a leak in my pump, of which I could tell they left a piece off the equipment when servicing it. What followed was 2-3 weeks of frustration in them not addressing the issue (after they took the piece off). They either responded with a quick note about they will fix it tomorrow or no response at all. My frustrations really escalated when they made regularly weekly visits and did not fix it - they would send out the "everything's good" type of weekly status report. The only way I could get them to address my concern was writing a Yelp review. A few minutes after that went up they sent an email asking what I wanted. I said I know you haven't been servicing my pool to my expectations for at least the last month, please fix my leak and give me the last month's charges back and in return I would remove the Yelp review. They fixed the pump finally, but to this point there is no refund. As unorganized as they are, I'm just watching for the next month's recurring charge, even though I cancelled them long ago. I hired a new company to come out and I got even more shock. Despite the most recent weekly report from Ranger showing cyanuric acid levels as 30-50 ppm which they labelled "ideal," the new company found the level to be 300 ppm! For those that don't know, this is a chemical that slows down the reaction of chlorine so it doesn't evaporate too quickly. When you get a level over 100 ppm you essentially lock up the chlorine from working at all. And you can't get it out of your water, overtime fresh water will dilute it but at levels as high as I have I am left with the likely option of having my water pumped out and having to start fresh. This is because bacteria and algae will be certain and there are some health concerns in having that high of level of acid. Of course, with North Texas water restrictions I may have some hoops to jump through and some extended loss of use. To verify the new company had a correct reading, I took it to Leslie's and unfortunately they came up with a similar result and prognosis. The pool will need to be drained. I've tried to reach Brandon and the tech numerous times throughout this to reach a resolution and correspondence is limited and they take no responsibility. How in the world did it go from "ideal" to disaster in a 7 to 10 day period? Or did this happen in a 10 day period (Leslie's staff tells me you'd almost have to try to do that in that short of period)? Did the tech lack the knowledge to do the readings or did he just skip over parts of the service? These are all things I am wondering. One thing is for sure, they are very careless with my property. It was common to find pool items strung across the yard and landscaping, computer boxes on the equipment left open, leaves remaining in pump baskets and the gate was always left unlatched for the dog to escape if we didn't notice it first. Brandon's response to what happened and the possible resolution, written 10/1/14: "Jay We call it old water and it happens to every pool after a period of time. It's normal and unavoidable." My pool just turned 3 years old. I am not an expert but I don't think it is normal to have to drain the water every three years due to chemical imbalance. And it hardly explains why it went from "ideal" to emergency situation in a short amount of time. But maybe that is "unavoidable" for Ranger pools too. A little customer service, accepting a little responsibility and offering some form of refund or ways to correct the problem would have resolved this. But their customer service is non-existent. I'd encourage all to keep looking - don't buy into the friendly sales pitch...

We hired GP&A after speaking with several pool companies and chose them specifically based on their…read morereviews praising quick response times and communication. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We did the "Green-to-Clean ($800)". It took SIX weeks. We had to repeatedly follow up because they would go ~2 weeks without showing up or communicating. When we asked, we were told there was an emergency situation, we tried to be understanding, but there was no proactive communication on their end. We decided weekly service ($250/month). After the initial clean, we signed up for weekly maintenance. Within 24-48 hours of each visit, chlorine levels would drop back to 0 ppm. GP&A's explanation was that our pool system was outdated and needed to be replaced. However, we had two separate pool inspections done when we purchased the home, plus 3-4 other pool companies assess the equipment, none of them flagged the system (installed in 2017) as a problem requiring replacement. Upsell attempts: GP&A quoted us a full system replacement (under $6,000) and then a filter replacement (~$2,200) before they said they could continue service. We decided to move on to another provider. End of service: We asked if they could continue maintaining the pool through the end of the month. Their last visit was six days before the final day of the month (image attached). The pool was visibly green and in poor condition by end of month (again they serviced it 6 days ago and it is this green; not adding enough chlorine). When we brought this up, they responded that the condition was "consistent with the unresolved filtration issue for which repairs were recommended", essentially placing responsibility on us for not purchasing their repair package. We were looking for a long-term, trustworthy pool service company. What we experienced was poor communication, inconsistent results, and recommendations that no other company has supported. I cannot recommend GP&A based on our experience.

Everything has gone smoothly and the equipment is running great - they go above and beyond. I mentioned having a pool robot with a bad cable and was having trouble replacing it. They sent someone over same day who replaced the cable in no time & no charge, and also walked me through fixing a WiFi device that controls the pool filter. - always responsive with questions- for example how to protect filter during the deep freeze- which also went well
