new solar panels

I have had the pleasure of using Evin's company Good Living Pools Service to originally repair my 21 year old solar panels for my pool and when the panels lifespan ended, he replaced the whole system for me.  He really tried to keep it up as much as possible prior to having it replaced.  Evin has always given me the best service.  If I have a problem, I can call Evin and he will help me out over the phone, who does that now a days, Evin does!!!  He goes above and beyond.  I would recommend Good Living Pools over and over again.

I needed my heater for my pool/spa fixed on a Saturday, it was not turning on. I reached out to Good Living Pools at 7:33am Saturday morning. Evin responded in less than a minute and came out to the house at 8:45. He was friendly, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to fix my heater at a very fair rate. Evin did not leave until he knew and I was assured that everything was running properly and the heater was working. I am happy that I have found my forever repair company for all of my future pool/spa needs. Than you Evin and Good Living Pools.

Pentair Remote

Evin sold us a used Pentair easy touch remote. Which we set up and worked perfect with our system. It saved us money buying it used. Highly recommend his expertise service, products and advice. He responded quickly to all our concerns about buying a used product and other questions and concerns about our pool. Thank you Evin.

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.

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.

Before and after 2 leaking valves needed to be replaced . Work  done was clean and professional.

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.

I was referred to Good Living Pools and now I refer Good Living Pools time and again. They are reliable and knowledgeable and trustworthy and my repairs are always done clean. I'm grateful I have them as my go-to for pool repairs!

Igniter control module

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. The part that he found that was damaged was only 124.00 bucks I will always call Evin in the future, whenever I need pool equipment help. I wasted 3 hours trying to fix it my self. I should have called Good Living Pools. 10/10 he is awesome.

Heater, variable pump, and filter all added to this system at different times over the years by Good Living Pools

Evin has been my go to for all pool equipment and repairs for years. He goes above and beyond in all respects.

Pool equipment

Evan has fixed my pool heater and also completed service on my heater and I can honestly say he knows what he's doing. Very professional and on time and fast !!! Had us enjoying our pool spa the same day. I highly recommend his services.

I'll be brief here: every single experience Shari the one star rating post said happened to her…read morehappened to me with Westin on watch. In the middle of swim season - last, July - Westin 's negligence allowed a full algae bloom in my pool. Instant scummy pond water within a week. I could not have my grandkids over for a swim as planned because of this embarrassment. My pool had not been the same until the new pool service took over last week. The pictures of my pool filters combined with Westin's email records confirmed that he had not cleaned my filters IN OVER A YEAR at the time I terminated his services a week ago. I never solicited or hired Westin in the first place; My pool account had been sold to Westin from the previous pool guy. I couldn't terminate him fast enough after this last go round with algae in my pool and my repeated request over several weeks of Westin to do more than just pour a double portion of chlorine in the pool. Westin is young and inexperienced and has a negative attitude towards hard work.

Update to my previous review. Westin reached out to me a few months after my review and apologized…read morefor lying about the service(s) being performed at my residence.

We've be using Aqua System Pool for chemicals for about a year. Several months ago, their…read moretechnician was at our house and when he was leaving I asked him to go back to look at something. When we got back to the pool, the floating chlorine tab holder was bubbling over. As we were standing there, it exploded. Then it exploded again and I decided to go the house. The technician got the long pole with the net and as he scooped it out it exploded several more times. Apparently, the technician put two chemicals that are not supposed to be mixed together in the float. He said, "wow that's never happened before." He also said that he'd only been with the company for a short time and really never got any training. After that, we noticed that there white stains on the bottom of the pool that weren't there before. I called Blake the owner and he and his manager Luke came out to look at it. They acknowledged that there were stains and the only way to fix it was to drain the water and acid wash the pool. They offered to do it at no cost to us. On the day it was to be done Luke the manager showed up to do the work without a pump. Due to a scheduling misunderstanding, I had offered to empty the pool myself the previous day and he apparently thought it was ok to use my pump and hose. When Luke started the work i was concerned. I watched several YouTube videos beforehand to familiarize myself with the process and this was not like anything i had watched. Luke was in shorts, bare feet and a paper mask. All the videos i watched showed the person with long pants, long sleeve shirt, rubber boots, and a respirator. After all, it is acid. Also, Luke was by himself but in all the videos i watched there were always two people. Luke used a sprayer like you'd use to spray weeds on your yard - a fine mist - to apply the acid wash. He would spray a section then rinse it off with our expanding hose without a nozzle. All the videos i watched show one person pouring on the acid wash mixture with a pitcher - a heavy pour that would completely saturate the wall and wash from the top to the bottom. There was always a second person with a hose rinsing off the wall right after it was poured. Long story short, the completed acid wash made the pool look much worse than it did before he started. I sent a picture of the pool to Blake the owner and said i thought there was a problem. After several text messages where Blake tried to convince me this was normal, he agreed to come out and look at it. After a few weeks of me following up and him telling me they were really busy right now, he came out to look at it and take some pictures. He said he was going to need some time to compare before and after pictures then he would get back to me After several more weeks of me following up, Blake got back to me with his answer. He said he didn't see any problem and he wasn't going to do anything about it. We had many texts about it after that but Blake refused to change his decision. Now our pool has all the white blotches from the chemical reaction plus a lot of new stains caused by Aqua System Pool doing the acid wash incorrectly.
