The Summer that Wasn't -Thanks to Frisco!
My pool was opened on May 4th, I had paid for the full year package which was $3000.00, and was to include maintenance for the full season. What a fool I was! NEVER AGAIN!!! On opening the pool they informed me that the pump was seized. Hard to believe, but I complied. They attempted to repair it, which took over 3 weeks. Frustrated, I said to replace it. They said it would cost $2000 for a new pump. I decided to go to Hayword Pools, to purchase the part. It cost $1100, not $2000. I came home and replaced the pump myself with no issues.
I called Frisco Pools, I asked to speak to the owner (Tom); it was extremely difficult to get a hold of him. He finally came out to my place, and attempted to program my pump; this is when my ongoing issues started.
Every time I called him to rectify the issue, I was charged...
I have a waterfall unit which was not working, Tom came to my place he got it working.
I was told to use my auxiliary 3 not auxiliary 1, I did as I was told.
As a result the waterfall worked occasionally, I was extremely frustrated.
Tom came back a day or two later and informed me to use auxiliary 1 button.
After that I had no issues.
We are in the middle of June, my heat is not working- they came out and got the problem rectified. I was content that my family and I were able to use the pool...
Unfortunately, only two days later the heater stopped working again.
Tom came over again and informed me that he had to call the gas company to the cost of another $1000.00 plus other service fees to Frisco again! I had that point had to change my hand-held remote which is only three years old. I replaced it, which cost $600 plus an additional service fee.
Finally, in July I was able to use the pool.
I asked Tom, to please look at my seized pump and inspect if it is was okay.
He returned in ten days later, and claimed it was indeed seized.
My support for Frisco came to an end. I went over to Leador Pools on HWY 27.The owner Richard, was such a pleasure! Always there to help! I gave him my pump, he informed me that there was nothing wrong with the pump that the magnets on shaft broke, which was a warranty issue. He informed me that he would get me a credit for the pump, and that he did. It was under the manufactures warranty. At this point, I terminated my contract with Frisco Pools.
Only after spending close to $9000.00 with them! Lastly, I found out that Frisco lost 3 customers on my street alone! I wonder why???
SHAME ON YOU FRISCO POOLS, you screwed me once, you screwed me twice...
NEVER AGAIN!
