I hate that you can't give a 0 stars on here, bc they don't even deserve the 1 star here. This is my situation, I called 6 weeks ago because I have a defective salt cell under warranty. It took them 2 1/2 weeks to come out to even look at it, which I understood bc it is the busy season for pool service. After 4 mins they said, 'you're right, it's a bad cell. We'll get you one ordered and be back in a week to replace. It'll only take about 5 minutes.' That was back on May 29th! It has been over a month. They do not keep you updated. I have had to call once a week to get updates and if I leave a message, no one will return it. I just have to keep trying til I reach someone. When I spoke with Will today and told him of my frustration about not getting a call back or any updates he said that, that would require him to call his local rep. And I said ok??? He just sat there. I responded 'so what you're telling me is you just really don't care?' His EXACT response 'yeah, pretty much.' Seriously?!? How is this place even in business with customer service skills like that! I finally decided to call Hayward myself to see what the hold up is. Guess what? The hold up is that Elite has never put in a ticket to have them send a salt cell for my address! They never ordered anything! I know it's a warranty job and they probably don't get paid a ton from them, but what they DO get is referrals. I will not nor do I suggest that any one else uses them. This is all just too ridiculous! Now I'm having to start the process all over again, with a different warranty service provider that Hayward recommends. What's sad is that Elite is there 'platinum tier provider.' If THIS is what 'platinum' service means then who needs it! read more
