    Another leak because the pump is too big for the filter
    Annette T.

    After everything that has happened with this company, I sure wish I'd had done my research first. Lesson learned!!! I hope that this helps others in deciding to purchase from them. March 2020, when the world was slowly shutting down, my husband and I decided to purchase a pool. Nothing big, just something we could cool off in during hot days. Bob was our sales rep, and we decided to go with an AquaSport 52 10x15 oval pool with the Boulder Swirl liner that we would partially sink in the ground. We also purchased an Oxygen Pools generator, the Blue Torrent 1 HP pump, and the Blue Torrent Power Clean DE 60 Filter System. After a delay in shipping due to COVID, we finally received our pool on November 12, 2020, and immediately began unpacking and checking inventory as Bob instructed us to do. Unfortunately, we overlooked the size of the pump and the filter size and checked off that we received them--our mistake. While doing this, we noticed they sent us the wrong liner. We didn't have time to wait for a replacement as we had a massive hole in the ground and needed to get this installed before the rain came. We finished with the install and closed the pool up for the winter. April 2021, we opened it up and added our Formula O, and by May, we were in the pool. Unfortunately, between May 2021 and Aug 2021, the lid to the filter canister broke five times. Thinking we had done something wrong after the first break, I pulled out all our paperwork and started researching what could have happened. This was when I noticed they sent us a 1.5 HP pump and downsized our filter size to the DE 50. I questioned this with Bob thinking the pump was too large for the filter. That made the most sense. Bob reassured me everything was fine and that they "upgraded" us to the 1.5 HP pump because they didn't have the 1 HP pump in stock at the time. As for the DE 60 filter, that wasn't in stock either, so they sent us the DE 50 even though we paid for the DE 60. They seem to allow many customers to purchase items they don't have in stock and then send them something different. After the 3rd lid broke, Bob transferred us to Erich, who works for Island Recreational in New York. He seemed knowledgeable and advised us to change the corrugated piping that ran from the skimmer to the pump and the return to the pump to PVC piping. So we did. While doing this, we had to drain the pool below the skimmer and return. This was when we noticed 5 of the six screws for the skimmer were rusted, and the faceplate turned green. Also, the return had cracked. I contacted Bob about this too, and he sent out new screws with no faceplate and the new return. In all Erich, sent us two lids, and they both broke. At this point, Erich said he has no idea why these keep breaking and advised us to return them and go with different manufacture as there's nothing else he can do. By Aug 2021, our pool had been down more than up while we waited for news lids to arrive. By the 5th lid, we had had enough and started inquiring our thoughts on the pump size and filter size with other pool suppliers. They all confirmed the 1.5 HP pump, which is for a 23,000-gallon pool, was way too big for the DE 50 filter, which is for a 7,500-gallon pool. Our pool is only 3,500-gallons. At this point, I requested a full refund on these items and told them I'd mail them back with a pre-paid shipping label from them. The problem was I didn't have a breakdown of the price we paid for each item because, as you can clearly see in the picture, they covered up the itemized list with the Merchant Copy receipt and refuse to show it to me with my husband signature on it. They will only show me the saved one on their computer, which can easily have the price changed/removed. They respond that we purchased the pool, skimmer, pump, filter as a package and can only give me that total price. They claim they cannot break it down, and they're willing to give us $390 when they receive the items back. This seemed like a small amount, so I went directly to their website. The price they want to refund isn't even for the pump/filter we originally paid for. Unfortunately, it's Bob's word against my husband because the description on the receipt is extremely vague. After many conversations with Bob, while picking out what we wanted, we were under the impression we were getting a 1 HP pump with the Power Clean DE 60. As you can see in the picture, this is listed at $499.99. I will never purchase from Swimming Pool Discounters again!!!!!!

    The filter that he claimed he "cleaned" himself.

    We used this company two years in a row. The only reliable aspect of this company are the teenagers that the service guy, Joe, gets to actually do the opening and closing of the pools - they work hard and are well mannered as respectful. That having been said, the rest of the business is a disaster. Joe took our filter for an acid wash on 11/26/2019 and said that we would get it back late January. I started calling his cell and leaving voicemails and text messages in March. I also left several voicemails at their store on Babcock Blvd. I never heard back from anyone, yet I paid $65 for the acid wash and they had my filter. In early June this year I went to the store where there were several other frustrated customers. After having some discussions with the employees there Joe came out the next day. No phone call, no text...I just happened to look out the window to see him driving away. I went outside to find my filter sitting on the side of the house with the pressure gauge smashed in and the bottom of the filter was filled with dirt from last year. I called Joe and he said that he cleaned the filter himself, but he doesn't clean the bottom of the filter. Why in God's name would you not clean the ENTIRE filter?! It makes no sense and I can tell when someone is bending me over the table. He then tells me that my skimmer is cracked and that he'd be out the following day to handle it. I told him not to bother. My wife calls to speak to the manager. The manager assures her that he is going to handle the situation and that he would call my wife back. Never heard from anyone. That was more than 2 weeks ago. They pocketed the $65 and won't return our calls. Crooks! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! Waste of time and money.

    Thank you Dave for the great install!

    We ended up having to replace our pool this past summer, we just happened to receive a flyer in the mail from Swimming Pool Discounters. We went to the showroom and met with the salesman Bob, he was great and helped us pick out a pool that worked with our budget. He promised us we would have our pool installed within 2 weeks. Joe the installer was to contact us, but after 3 weeks, he still had not called. My wife called the office and Bob called the installer, but still no call from Joe the installer. Bob finally emailed my wife with Joe's phone number. She called numerous times and left numerous voicemails but no return call from Joe. I finally had to call Bob and voiced my disappointment; Bob called another installer Dave. Dave called me back immediately and was at our house the next day installing the pool! Dave was fantastic and did a perfect job. We love our new pool! If you decide to purchase a pool from Swimming Pool Discounters, do yourself a favor and ask for Dave and his team!

    This is the garbage that Swimming Pool Discounters sells! Rusted through in 3 yrs, and no holes in the liner to cause the rust.

    See all

    This is a horrible company. If we could return everything and pay double elsewhere, then I would do…read moreit 100% of the time. Save your money, and your time. Remember: THEY WILL LIE TO YOU.

    Yesterday, a friend and I went to Pool City on McKnight Rd (about 45 minute drive away) to look at…read morepatio furniture for my GF's new house. We asked for help locating a counter height patio table to seat 6, firepit & chairs to go around firepit. Adam, pointed to one he had on the showroom (only sat 2 people and was Bar height). I asked if he could look in their manufacturer catalogues. He informed me that I could go on-line. At this point, I realized that he was not Customer Service oriented to say the least. I insisted that he get his catalogues as I had seen one on-line and wanted more information on it. I assumed he was getting the catalogues. Nope, he and 2 other men were standing and talking. We waited a few minutes and still no movement from Adam indicating he was getting the catalogues. At this point, I said, "Excuse me. Are you going to get the catalogues?" He came over and rudely said he was with a manufacturer's rep and could I really not wait 3 minutes?" His tone and words were unacceptable and I asked for the Manager & was informed he was the Manager. I asked for his card. He said he didn't want to work with me and would get someone else and walked off. No one came over again. We again had to search out an employee. Keep in mind we were the ONLY CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE on this Tuesday afternoon (6/6/17). We left and went to the Cranberry Pool City location & Dave was wonderful and helped us find what my GF was looking for! He showed us catalogues & sample finishes. He even got on the computer to research counter stools to match the counter-height table. Bottom-line: avoid the McKnight Rd location & go to Cranberry location instead!
