We had friends who purchased a Jacuzzi from Recreation Wholesale in January 2025 and referred us to…read morethe company. Being as they had already done a lot of research into the K.C.-area retailers, we decided to visit Rec Wholesale ourselves in fall 2025. We weren't quite ready to make a purchase during our initial visit, but we were impressed by the value offered by the Harmonic line of hot tubs that Rec Wholesale carries. (Jacuzzi has a great reputation, but we had different needs than our friends.) We went back in January 2026 and looked at the options we'd reviewed previously. We also visited another retailer in K.C., and we ultimately did a LOT of our own online research. We decided to buy a Harmonic Model 277 6-person hot tub. We made the choice based on the fact that the Harmonic is made in the U.S. and, thus, had no tariff issues. It also had very positive reviews from people in the hot tub industry despite it being a newer brand. (We relied heavily on information via several Hot Tub Owner Groups on Facebook and Reddit. The people on those platforms are VERY opinionated about their preferences but offer a lot of useful advice.) Tariffs issues aside, we felt the Harmonic brand offered the best value compared to the other hot tubs we had narrowed our choices down to in terms of pump + jet power. Plus, Recreation Wholesale included numerous extras that the other retailer with whom we were comparing units did not offer, specifically a cover, cover lift, and steps. The Harmonic unit also had exterior lighting, which was not a need-to-have but definitely a nice-to-have in terms of offering a safety benefit for night-time use. And, as mentioned, the Harmonic unit not only had more jets than the other similarly priced hot tub we were considering, but the jets were more optimally located and impressively powerful. The final reason behind our decision was the impressively long warranties (by several years), along with delivery within a few weeks. Speaking of which, the hot tub was delivered yesterday by an efficient two-man crew (led by Logan) who impressed us with their knowledge of every aspect of the installation and their willingness to do everything in their power to meet our expectations. We got detailed instructions on chemicals and advice on how often to replace the filters, and more. Last night was our inaugural dip, and we feel extremely good about our purchase! BTW: Over the past year, since our friends purchased their Jacuzzi from Rec Wholesale, they have experienced no issues and use their hot tub almost daily. I know they would give the company a thumbs-up as well.

We ordered and paid for a new cover and lift on September 2nd and have yet to receive the new product or installation. We were advised it could take 3-4 weeks. After 4 weeks passed we were then advised our purchase didn't make it onto the truck but hopefully we will have in the next couple weeks and should make onto the next truck. We've followed up multiple times and keep getting the same message waiting for truck to fill up and your product should be on it but no guarantee. What kind of timeline, customer service, or expectation is this? My husband was last told that we can't even receive a refund because it's a special order.

Including how to patch a hole in a rolling pool cover. I was tempted to buy a patch kit but the former 'fix' looked like (basically) a piece of tape and lasted less than 2 weeks.

He drew out the sizing needed and steered me toward the proper adhesive. I was so grateful that he took the time to help me and was patient with my questions. The gal who checked me out told me about winterizing the pool and I'm on their schedule. Very happy that I stopped in and highly recommend doing business with a place that specializes in pools.

Had previously talked with Mike about issues with a pool heater and he mentioned it was likely wiring issues caused over the winter. Got him to the house and he said there's no way that's what happened, said our heater was garbage and poorly made and he "thinks" the igniter is sitting in water and he "thinks" this and "thinks" that but didn't actually look at anything in the heater, and just started looking at how big the pool was and talking about the specs of his heater and trying to say a bunch of "big words" to confuse us like we didn't know anything. The issue he was saying was the problem has been an ongoing normal condition of the heater, and he got upset when we questioned him and kept talking about what he "thinks" is the problem, but never looked at anything in the heater himself. He is not a "pool guy" he is a salesman, and a horrible one at that. Do not bother going anywhere near him or his business.
