We had a pool leak and reached out to Evin from Good Living Pools. From the very first phone call, Evin was professional, informative, and genuinely helpful. After talking through the situation, I decided to have him come out to assess the issue in person. Evin quickly identified that the water loss might be coming from small, hard-to-see cracks in the spa tile. He suggested shutting off the spillway to let the wall dry completely. After monitoring the water levels for a week, his diagnosis was spot on. The leak stopped entirely. He also noticed our pool vacuum was hooked up through the skimmer and explained why that setup wasn't ideal. He pointed out an alternative outlet and even caught a rubber stopper that could've caused serious plumbing damage. He removed it on the spot, not an easy task, but he got it done. Once we confirmed the leak source, we moved forward with replacing the spa tile. Evin mailed us tile samples to choose from and also facilitated an appointment at the warehouse so we could see more options. During the work, Evin found damage behind the tiles, so we decided to repair the top four inches, remove the brick trim, and finish the top in matching tile. It looks fantastic, we love how the spillway looks now when it's running. Evin also upgraded our system overall: he installed a chlorinator (goodbye floating dispenser!), put the pumps on a smart schedule so the pool circulates evenly, automated our line fill, and updated our existing automation system to tie everything together. He took the time to walk me through how it all works, and everything runs beautifully now. We couldn't be happier with the results and the experience. Evin is knowledgeable, honest, and goes above and beyond. We highly recommend Good Living Pools not only for repairs and upgrades, but also if you're buying a home with a pool, reaching out and having Evin inspect it will give you peace of mind. read more

Good Living Pools - new solar panels - Pool Cleaners Near Me - Carlsbad, California

My pool pump was failing, so I requested a quote for a replacement. Evin responded quickly, offered several options based on my setup, and gave me a fair price. When he arrived and inspected my system, he pointed out a few components that were starting to fail or hadn't been installed correctly. He also suggested a few upgrades to improve the existing setup--without being pushy. After providing an updated quote, I decided to move forward with the extra work. By the end of the job, Evin had installed a new automatic in-line chlorine feeder, updated the plumbing, added missing water valves, and installed an automatic pool fill with a timer. Throughout the process, he was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Evin is trustworthy, professional, and detail-oriented. I highly recommend him for any pool repairs or upgrades. read more

We thought we had a leak in our jacuzzi and we called the home buyers warranty company to come diagnose the situation. Home buyers warranty said we may have a leak that's underground and we would have to open concrete and dig to repair. I called Evin out for a second opinion and we found out there was no leak after he did some trouble shooting. We saved a ton of money from not having to do unnecessary work. This guy knows what he is doing and will not recommend repairs if they aren't needed. My wife and I appreciate that and we are using this company from now on. We are very grateful and appreciate the honesty which is hard to find these days. A huge Thank you is more then well deserved for this company. Save yourself the trouble and go with Evin here for all your pool needs. read more

Good Living Pools - Pentair Remote - Pool Cleaners Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I was in need of a tile repaired in my pool. Most business declined my work because the job was too small for their scope of work. Evin did not, his words "let's do it". We are grateful that he did not discount us since after chatting with him and sharing info on our current issues - over the phone with FaceTime and images he helped us diagnose other matters with our pool that needed our attention. We didn't know and would have never known and could have become a costly repair in the future for us. Evin was able to help us correct these items very promptly. He has also educated us on how our pool works and should work as well about our water levels. Thank you so much. Highly recommend Evin and his team. read more

Good Living Pools - We had to dump and fill the pool, do an acid treatment to remove/reduce levels in water and also replace a few items in our equipment. - Pool Cleaners Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Ok, I am gonna update this review with this! When Evin was over working on my pool last time I told him how dissatisfied I was with the fact that the folks who originally owned this home ( and put in the pool ) neglected to put an auto water fill feature in.The past 2 pools I have owned both had them. It's super NOT convenient having to constantly look at the pool level and have to manually go out and turn on and off the water to fill the pool. You get one chance to add this feature and it's when the pool is built. Evin had a simple inexpensive fix, recommended I order a part from Amazon and he would come out and install it. That was last Monday and it's totally working as he said it would. I still think Evin is a genius when it comes to pool issues and fixes. Give him a call if you need help and your pool guy can't get er done. read more

After experiencing my pool heater not working, I called Evin. We spoke over the phone about what was happening. He was very transparent on what was needed to fix the problem. He was very thorough with his inspection of the pool heater. He identified a few other things that I could fix. He fixed the problem and the pool was working. A few weeks later I had another issues with the pool heater that I couldn't figure it. I called Evin again and he came out right before Easter weekend. Fixed the issues and my family and I were able to have our annual Easter pool party. Evin is very respectful and reliable. He's really easy to talk to and you know he will get the job done. And done right. Thanks again! read more

I was given Evin's information after asking around for a reliable person to service one of our pool lights. This is the first time we were in need of this type of repair and we're so happy we were connected with Evin. He quickly provided a quote and followed up with advice via text and then a phone call. He spent 10 minutes with us to ensure we were knowledgeable about our equipment so that we can make an informed decision before selecting a company. We were so impressed with his expertise and customer service that we decided to move forward with Evin's company. read more

I love my pool and jacuzzi when they are running correctly. I mutter under my breath when there is a hiccup or issue that I cannot solve. Luckily I have a great service guy and he knows another great pool service guy. My pool motor created one of those unexpected muttering moments. I connect with Evin because he is one of the guys who has provided excellent service in the past and once again I receive the same level. My problem is solved. He diagnosed the problem, provided a solution, and my muttering stopped. No drama, runaround and he was able to solve it quickly. I know the adventure of having a pool and jacuzzi. I appreciate Evin's work to get us back to enjoying our pool & Jacuzzi. I will use him in the future when needed, and I recommend him to others who want it done right. read more

Evin showed up on time, and found the problem in less than 10 mins on my master temp 400 heater, another pool repair guy told me I need a new heater that would cost 4700 bucks.

I should have called Good Living Pools. 10/10 he is awesome. read more

Our pool pump all the sudden stop working properly yesterday and I thought the pump maybe dead. I posted on Yelp and asking for help and Evin the business owner of Good living Pool immediately responded to me and he is so knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed that my pump is working fine and it was somewhere leaking air. He came first thing in the morning and he nailed the problem right away. He also kindly adjusted my pump program schedule and gave me some good free advices. read more

Evin was responsive and gave me options for the work that I needed done on my pool. Happy with the outcome. Thanks Evin.

I do not like to write long reviews because I feel that people won't read them if long. But, I feel it's important to let people know just how beyond pleased we are with Evin. He is professional in every sense of the word, extremely knowledgeable about how systems work, and more than willing to share that knowledge. We had a Pentair heater die on us and was told by a few different pool experts we need a new one. No one could tell us why it suddenly died, just that it did. No one that is until Evin. He asked if we would like for him to dismantle the heater to see what went wrong and also to see if he could possibly repair it. First time anyone offered that! Of course we would. He took it apart right where it stood and showed us exactly why it had died. There was no doubt we needed a new heater. Evin then offered to come back the next day with a brand new heater (same model as what we had) and install it. Wait! Did you just say tomorrow? Not only did he have other projects that day, he took the time to go pick up heater and come back as promised and install it before end of day. He answered every question we had and not in a condescending way. He genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and said to call him anytime with any questions. I learned more about pool heaters and how they interact with the system than I ever could have learned from reading a manual. I could go on and on but as I said earlier, I am not a fan of long reviews. I will end by saying, we will use Evin for any future repairs or issues we my have and I highly recommend you do too!! I wish I could afford a new pool, new design because I know he would do an incredible job. Evin, you absolutely ROCK!!!! read more

Evin is the most thoughtful guy! My pool solar pipes blew apart after I filled my pool and turned on the motor. I did not know who to call or how to fix it.. Evin called me, said he would be there in 15 minutes, and up the street came this huge truck........ Evin hopped out and fixed my panels in a snap. He refused to take any money from me. I know this sounds funny, but he was like Superman to the rescue! When he is not Superman, Evin is a swimming pool and solar contractor who specializes in pool equipment and automation, leak detection, and thermal solar. You can't go wrong by calling GOOD LIVING POOLS !!!!! read more

I bought my house in January 2024 and the pool heater is super old. I got multiple pool guys coming out to my house charging me money and just robbing me without helping me. Others would just not even give me the time of day and would just tell me to buy a new one from them or a refurbished one and the prices they had were outrageous. I even was super close to purchasing a $6,000 new pool heater (because I could do payments and it came with warranty) from Leslie's but I called this guy here and he saved me money, time and was very helpful. He told me he could fix it and he was the first and only one that was able to get my old dinosaur heater to turn on. He was very honest and fair in price. I honestly can say that I will forever continue doing business with him. Thank you for all your help. read more

Our pool has had pressure issues for quite some time. We have been battling balancing the chemicals and keeping algae from growing in our pool. Evin has been truly exceptional! He has been personable from the very beginning. I appreciate that he is upfront about the issues at hand, and what solutions are available. I don't get the feeling that I am being ripped off, which is great because I have had several other bids for this job. The other contractors didn't do half of the diagnostics Evin did. For example, one contractor stated the pump was broken and our system needed to be re-plumbed. Evin found nothing wrong with the pump. I thank God for good contractors like Evin! This company has been responsive, punctual, honest, and reasonable. We look forward to getting back in our pool. Thank you Evin and Good Living Pools. The Lofland Family read more

I found Evin on Craigslist and couldn't be happier with the knowledge and service he provided me to get my pool control panel going again today. I really like that he doesn't try to push you into buying all new equipment like some companies do. He quickly discovered my problem was being caused by melted candle wax the old home owners had somehow spilled on and inside the panel, causing the buttons to stick and the box to act crazy.. He cleaned it all up, re-programed it, got my remote working, showed me how to work everything. And.... He didn't charge a penny more then his regular service call price. I highly recommend you call him. read more

I called Good Living Pools because my pool had been neglected for several months after my pool guy had notified me that he was retiring and had stopped servicing pools. I had failed to find a replacement for him and the pool turned into a pond within a couple months. I knew it needed not only to be brought back to life but service needed to be done on the pool equipment as well as it was not cosmetically to my liking and had several problems. Evin came and gave me a fair assessment & quote to restore the pool and fix the pool equipment to my liking. His honesty, transparency and recommendations throughout the whole process was a breath of fresh air. His dedication to his craft is apparent in the quality of work he does. There were several problems that he found throughout the process and he corrected them at a fair and honest price. He fixed all that needed to be fixed which was a lot including an underground pipe leak due to palm tree roots, removal of the palm tree, flushing and restoring of the gas line, cosmetically fixing the pool equipment, installing a new heater along with countless other tasks all while keeping me informed throughout the entire process. I will definitely use his services for future projects relating to my pool. Do yourself a favor and work with this small business for all your pool needs. read more
