I recently had my pool installed by a group Unique referred us to use- Blue Island Water Group…read more After the initial installation, the pool had multiple leaks, one broken pipe and two others actively leaking. We just added $80 worth of salt to the system, which all drained out or just sat on the bottom. Unfortunately, Blue Water Island Group refused to come back and fix the issues until the final balance was paid, even though the work was clearly defective. They did eventually return to make the repairs, but by then, the pool had turned into a swamp, filled with debris and worms, and we still haven't even been able to use it. We just went to Ace Hardware and spent $70 more dollars on chemicals to try and get the pool clear. For our first pool, this has been a total nightmare.

Those two individuals were the rudest human beings I've ever spoken to. I would strongly advise you look elsewhere for your pool and spa needs.

Great experience with First Coast! I recently purchased a new house with pool equipment I was…read moreunfamiliar with as it differed from prior house. I contacted the pool installer to see if they could come give me tutorial on the equipment they installed but couldn't even get a call back. I contacted at-least 5 other pool companies for a tutorial/inspection and quote for weekly service. One told me to take pictures and come to their store (not helpful), 1 setup appointment but were no show. The other 3 wouldn't return calls or emails. First coast contacted me back within hours of my request and came out 2 days later. The owner was super friendly and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. Ended up setting up a weekly service to get pool under control. I may end up taking it over myself once I understand it more but they are so friendly I may just keep the weekly service. They have been here twice now, pool is clean, equipment is working and provide a email service report each week with photo of pool, chemical readings and summary of the chemicals added and services rendered. Highly recommend this growing company if you need pool service!!

We didn't have a choice but to replace the pool pump so we went to Leslie's since they offer interest free financing for 12 months through Wells Fargo. In the store we picked out the pump, made an appointment for installation, and paid. A couple of days later our appointment arrived and the tech showed up to install our pump. He did a very quick and excellent job at removing the old pump and installing a new one. The new pump works great, has a 2 year warranty, and we have 12 months to pay it off. In store staff and the install tech were all very nice and easy to work with.

Outdoor Dream Company Why is it so hard to get a service…read moretechnician to call us back? Do you actually have a technician to service south east Georgia? Is the only option to have a service technician come to our house has to be from Jacksonville Florida? Why is it an 1175 service call? 800 dollars for travel BEFORE a diagnosis is made. Really??!! I deeply regret buying from your company. Your company has zero intentions on honoring the warranty you offered. The template your invoice billed me on was for a vehicle NOT a spa. We asked for the chemicals promised, never got them. We asked for a service call technician to call us and never got that either. How can you claim to be a reputable company with such poor customer service? Your company is under investigation and I can clearly see why. Hopefully the BBB and Florida attorney general will stop your shady business practices.

In the last two years I have been very disappointed with the price of parts at Pinch-A-Penny on San…read moreJose Blvd. Today hit an all-time high and marks the end of my patronage at Pinch-A-Penny. I needed swivel hose connectors for my Polaris pool cleaner. I was told they would be $31.00 EACH! I thought maybe buying a new hose with all the parts might cost a little more money but would include all new parts and might be worth it. The price was OVER $300 for a hose assembly! I came home and went online to find genuine Polaris parts at $15.21 each, half what Pinch-A-Penny wanted to charge me. On Amazon I found a highly rated replacement part at $10.45 for a package that included THREE parts. By the way, a genuine Polaris hose assembly was $189.00. I understand running a brick and mortar store has additional costs associated with it, but I consider the prices I have been quoted to be price gouging.

Stanley Pools is…read morethe local family company we would choose over and over again.   We knew that we wanted to have a pool ready by the spring, so we started the process of getting quotes from various companies in October. Based on a strong recommendation of a trusted friend and colleague, Stanley Pools was high on our list. After getting quotes, they were our top choice!   We have been impressed with the entire Stanley team since the very beginning. We were under contract in November and it kicked off the same day with the permit submission. The most remarkable part of this process was the actual construction, including a full screened enclosure: it started on January 5 and we had water in the pool on February 10! From beginning to "pool school" where it was all wrapped up was well under two months - incredible! Every single person we met and interacted with were kind, personable, and respectful of our home.   Now, we have the perfect backyard oasis to make memories for years to come! Thanks, Stanley!

The problem started less then 60 days after the pool was purchased, professionally setup and filled. The Styrofoam on the filter flap came off.

Our delivery date was changed several times due to our deck construction and he was flexible enough to accommodate each change. When the deck was finished we finally had it delivered.

The replacement happened 2 days later. WOW! The two men (can't remember their names) who came to pick up and deliver had an ingenious way to remove and put the replacement in its place. The deck is 4 feet off the ground so it had to be lifted. No scratches or dents, it went perfectly and our hot tub is perfect. Thank you Wes!

Big thanks to the Vita Spa crew for the great service. We've been using daily for the last three weeks and love it.
