Moved to the area four years ago from a few towns away. The house we bought had a fairly new inground pool that had been installed by East Coast Pool & Spa. For continuity's sake, I drove to East Coast Pool & Spa, even though it was about seven miles further than Coleco. Continued using them because they were very helpful and nice to do business with. At some point, our pool chemistry got a little out of whack. Decided to give Coleco a try since it was so much closer. The older woman at Coleco was a little reluctant about testing our pool water more than twice a year even though they used an electronic tester that didn't take nearly as long as the titration method used by East Coast. The biggest problem we were having was high Cyanuric Acid levels. The old chick at Coleco sold me a product for reducing high Cyanuric Acid while lecturing me that I was doing something wrong. I only did what they told me to do and followed their instructions to the letter. Just for reference, I called the manufacturer of the product and was told to get a really accurate reading, the titration method was the only way to go, so I went back to East Coast Pool & Spa. They were WAY more helpful and much friendlier. They helped me to get the parameters back to an acceptable range. Long story short, I'd drive to East Coast Pool & Spa if it was twenty mile further! On another occasion, I stopped by Coleco to pick up a New Water Chlorinator Cartridge. It was $10 more than the last time I had bought one there a few weeks earlier. I commented on the price increase and the old chic said that was they price they'd always been charging. Next time I needed one, got it at East Coast for $10 cheaper. The nasty old chic at Coleco seems like she would be nice, but had this passive aggressive thing going. Lastly, every time I went to Coleco, I was the only customer in the store, but at East Coast, they were almost always dealing with multiple customers, but were still genuinely friendly AND helpful. Take this review for what it's worth, but I'd stay clear of Coleco. Even some friends of our refer to East Coast as the, "nice pool people", and Coleco as the, "nasty pool people". read more
