    Leaking one-way value went unfixed
    Tim M.

    It's pretty obvious that their lone technician, Anthony, is overworked, lazy, and desperately trying to get someone to notice, namely the company's management and/or owner. After calling him out to quote our leaks, he upsold us on a new filter housing due to the age of the gasket and the prior filter housing. The problem is: he never fixed the leaks, he replaced the filter but left the nut loose, didn't test the system, and intentionally changed the valve settings to run it with minimum pressure to hide the leaks. According to our cameras, he was only here for 26 minutes, and he walked back and forth to his truck at least 4 times. That's not time enough to replace the check valve, replace the flush valve, and replace the entire filter housing. That evening, I turned the three-way valve to the pressure-side vacuum, the PSI spiked to 20, and the whole thing started leaking. Now, we have a geyser-like leak coming out of the one-way valve, which was part of our originally quoted fix. The filter housing nut was left loose, which can cause decapitation (see my video and link below). The guy doesn't seem to care what harm he is causing to people or even if things work properly. Ironically, this is making him work harder, since he'll get called back out. There will be lawsuits in the future if he's the one doing fixes. This is a news report about the dangers of not knowing what you're doing: https://youtu.be/fm8R8RG19oY?si=P2g1cMs_ju9gAk3K. This guy knows what he's doing, so I'm not sure if he's intentionally trying to hurt people, but one could argue neglect or even intent.

    Install cost.

    BUYER BEWARE we purchased a Pentair gas heater from the Demaray store in Vacaville approximately four years ago. We have only used the heater, at best 10 times we try to start it up a few days ago and it wasn't working. We spent over $4,200 plus $725.28 for labor for this unit, I called the Vacaville location and was told to go ahead and call a separate number that handles their install which is affiliated with the Vacaville store. I called and spoke to TAMMY. I told her what was going on with the unit and asked her if she could please send someone out to look at the unit. She told me that she would not be able to look at my information as their systems have been changed in 2023. She asked me if I had a receipt, I said I will find it easily because I wrote a check for the amount. I asked her if there is a warranty still with this unit and she had no information and then she proceeded to ask somebody that she was standing next to if I had a warranty and that person told her no, that it probably expired two years ago. She kept insisting that I call Pentair and go through them to see if there's anything that they could do. I asked her as a courtesy because I am a customer of the Vacaville store with not just the heating unit, but also chemicals and supplies if she could send somebody out to just look to see if maybe something came loose. She said she couldn't do that she would have to charge $130 to just come out and check, not service, just check to see if it's still connected. i told her that I don't want a service, just for someone to see if it's connected, that's all she said that it's $130. She kept referring me to call Pentair to get it settled. Even though I bout the unit and had it installed by them. I asked her if she could please just do a one time courtesy to come out and just check it before I start calling Pentair. She got extremely loud with me and rude and told me that there was nothing she can do. She just works there and I told her that at that point I didn't want any more of their help (which they weren't going to do anything anyway) and then she proceeded to call me a piece of shit. I have never called for any help from them in the four years that we have had this unit. She was completely unreasonable and unwilling to help at all. Demaray is very good at taking your money but not at helping their longtime customers. Their customer service is absolutely the worst. I thought I was doing a good thing by keeping the business local, but I learned my lesson. I will never go there for any chemicals anymore or parts or anything else, Tammy is absolutely horrible.

    Lots of supplies for all pools/spas

    Great staff! Super helpful. Polite and professional. We came here for parts to repair our pool sweep. Got all the parts we needed and great advice. Thanks Demaray--we will definitely be back.

    I have been using Demaray Pool Supply for 15 years, and today will be my last.I came in with my filter information and had to walk him through getting the right O ring.I mentioned that Amazon said it was a twenty one inch and he stated "don't mention Amazon or I will have to raise the price" I was in shock! I always use local businesses when I can and don't mind spending more for service., and I was going to buy 300.00 dollars worth of filters , but the price was 150.00 more than Amazon and I would have gladly paid 50.00 more to shop locally and now I think he raised the price because I mentioned Amazon. I am in retail and customers always negotiate and it's part of business and most people will pay more for good customer service and a competitive price. I got neither at this store today.Oh and no refunds or exchanges

    My pool sweep needed a tune up so I took it where I bought it, Leslie's.

    Okay so I owe this company a review because they really came through for fixing my parents pool…read more The owner Luke was so kind to us. When I put in a request for quoted work around the area I got a lot of responses. But what stood out from Clean Wave Pools is that they didn't sugar coat anything or beat around the bush. They were upfront with us on what it would take to get the pool from green to crystal clear. It always helps when a company quotes you something close to what the work may come out to. When I first spoke to their receptionist/scheduler she was so nice and understanding. I explained how this company my parents had been using kept giving them different solutions to fix the green pool. Spent well over $1000 to have the pool look the same. I got fed up. So many companies take advantage of the elderly so I ended up getting quotes from yelp. Luke spoke to me and set up a time and day to check it out and give a quote for free. I loved that he was true to his word and helped my parents out. Every visit they sent myself and my parents an email of the breakdown of work that was done. We ended up using this company because of how professional they were. They knew what they were talking about. Well within 3 weeks the pool went from green to crystal clear. Luke even explained the speed or the pump was incorrect which the company Aqualink installed the unit and told my parents they needed to upgrade it. Screw that, my tech savvy self connected to the unit and got it back up and running and updated the speed to the pump as suggested by Luke. My parents are so happy they can use their pool again. Thank you so much Luke and company for all your hard, dedicated work.

    They are currently working on cleaning out our pool! I appreciate their responsiveness to getting…read morethe work done promptly.

    Clean Blue Pool Service

    I've gone through four different pool services in the past three years, and Clean Blue Pool Service…read moreis easily the best we've had. Isaiah, the owner, was extremely responsive to my texts, showed up on time, and did a very thorough inspection of our pool and equipment. What really impressed me was how knowledgeable he is. We have a saltwater pool with solar heating, and he clearly understands the technical side of pool systems, chemical balancing, equipment, and common maintenance issues. He took the time to answer a ton of technical questions and actually knew the answers rather than giving me generic responses. He also reprogrammed our system to optimize the filter speeds and improve the efficiency of our solar heating. His pricing is reasonable, and because he's an owner-operator, you know who is actually going to show up and service your pool. That matters to me. With some of our previous companies, the service started out great but became inconsistent over time or depended on which employee came out that week. With Clean Blue, Isaiah is the person doing the work, and it's obvious he takes pride in it. He handles routine pool service and chemical balancing and can also take care of maintenance and equipment issues when they come up. After four pool companies in three years, I'm very glad we found Isaiah. Highly recommend Clean Blue Pool Service.

None of my other pool service providers knew how everything functioned so, of course they couldn't fix the many challenges I faced. Here is how I decided to hire Clean Blue Pools: I had a problem with my waterfall off and on for years. I told Isaiah that if he could fix this long term issue, I would hire him. He fixed it in five minutes. My pool is cleaner and brighter than it has ever been and at a fair price. So pleased to have found him and I highly recommend that you give him a call.
