I recommend this so much because they keep it sparkling clean and whenever I need a new cover or a repair they come right out and take care of everything. What a relief to have a team to count on and they take the worry out of ownership by handling whatever we need. We are super grateful. We are very happy with all of the pricing for service.

We started using Arvidson's for our pool last year. We do the maintenance, so we use them mainly…read morefor testing water and buying needed chemicals. We've gone to a few other pool stores over the years. I found that Arvidson's is the best at understanding what pools need for the right balance, and then following up to ensure everything turned out okay. I went there two days ago, and I had a high level of ammonia in the pool. I have no idea how that would have happened. Rather than sell me an expensive round of chemicals, they told me to drain 1/3 of the water out of the pool and refill it. They said that would mean I would need less to balance the water. When I returned today, the Ammonia levels were low enough that I didn't need to do anything other than add (a lot) of chlorine. More than anything, I trust their judgment in chemically treating pools.

We buy our chemicals from them, have the water tested for free by them, have the pool opened and closed by them. When we needed any kind of new equipment, I have entrusted the knowledge and service provided by their Service Department. I have especially enjoyed working with Peter, ZZ and Sheryl. Recently, I ordered the wrong service and Sheryl made it right without blaming me or overcharging me to get it fixed. I trusted them to deliver and install a pool beloved by my children and now my grandchildren. Thank you.

Where do we start? I live in St Charles and basically we ordered an above ground pool filter…read moreCartridge on 5/16/25 and provided the specs and details to the staff member in the St Charles office. (bear in mind that they currently service our pool and really should have a database with all these details). Nonetheless, we wanted the filter for our pool opening at the end of May as we had family coming to town and were informed that it would arrive Thursday of the following week, May 22nd. It never arrived and I was informed that it 'missed' the large order that goes out 'once a week' and was informed that 'hopefully they will have it next week, May 29th at the St Charles office. Never arrived!! We waited another week but this time, having lost faith in the staff member in question, I called the Crystal Lake office and spoke with Dan from the service/stock room only to be told that they were having trouble sourcing the cartridge and he assured me that he would have a temporary onefor me by Friday, as they had ordered me the 'Top of the range' filter that is the best out there. And yes, you guessed it.....I never got a call Friday or anytime after that from Dan. In fact, the weekly service team arrived to my house on Monday, June 2nd only to ask if had received my filter, to which I said no. To make matters worse, I arrived home later on that Monday to discover that the service team had taken my dirty 2 year old filter that had been sitting out in the rain for weeks, washed it down and put it in the pool filtration system as an alternative. In the process, he washed the filter on my lawn and left about a 20 sq ft of white acidic residue on my grass that I am unable to remove. Fast forward to Wednesday and I received a call from Arvidson's Crystal Lake office to come pick up my temporary filter that day at the St Charles office. I happily drove there the same day only to meet the same staff member with a deer in headlights look and no idea what I was referring to and unable to locate a filter cartridge. I did receive a call yesterday from St Charles alerting me that the cartridge (original one, not the Temporary one) was finally here for pick up. I picked it up today, went through the process of emptying my filtration system only to discover that it was the wrong cartridge and nothing like what we ordered. Not even compatible to the same system. I have not reached out yet as I am too upset! What I did do was go on google and found my cartridge in two minutes and was shocked to discover that they retail for $72.99 (Hurricane model) and not the '$216.99' I was charged by Arvidsons. The incorrect one they sent retails for $92.99. That is a 233% mark up. Are you kidding me?? Needless to say my experience this year with Arvidsons has been a hugely inept one and extremely disappointing to say the least. The fact that I felt like I was being lied to on a number of occasions upsets me most, given that my background is in corporate client facing environments. Please tell me you can do better guys!
