A couple of weeks ago I signed up for the home pool service that included testing the water and…read morecleaning the pool, weekly, for $100 per month. I didn't think I needed to ask a lot of questions - pretty basic, test the water, clean the pool (I told them cleaning wasn't necessary since I use a robotic system). I had been using an automatic water tester that I didn't like (didn't include all the normal tests), tried test trips (low accuracy), tried the chemical kit that was delivered with the pool (not much better than test strips), and taking samples to Leslie or Pinch A Penny. Both of those companies ran very detailed tests. But I thought a weekly test conducted by Pinch A Penny would be more convenient so I signed up. First week someone comes by, tests the water using a portable chemical test (fill the vials with water, drop a solution in, shake, look a the colors against a chart) made adjustments to the salt chlorination unit. Shake the chemical vials seemed a bit strange but I didn't say anything. After 3 weeks, this morning I tried to get into Pinch A Penny website and see my weekly test reports - not at all successful. Went to their store this morning and asked to seem my results over the past 3 weeks. Not in the system, so I manager (?) came out to help. He said the results are "in the back" and asked for my address, phone number and name. Comes back with "you're ph was....." and nothing else. I asked how I can see my results. Basically, you can't - at least not electronically through their portal. You can see the ones where they tested water you brought to the store. They don't have a way to enter them into the system. They also don't email you a weekly report, etc. You also don't get any indication they came to your house, like a sticker on your door. Is this important? YES IT IS. In the first visit they used one of those fill the vials and shake test unit, not a portal device similar to what they have in the store. Warning bells went off. That caused explore testing units. Leslie has a home unit, just like the one they use in the store that you can subscribe to for $50 a month, photo below. It gives you the same results, actions to take, formatted and printable just like what they give you in the store. I used it 5 times over the past couple of weeks. The reports show I wasn't getting any benefit from Pinch A Penny testing at my house. And I mean no benefit at all that I could determine. That's why I wanted to see reports. Consider all of your options before signing up for this.

Bought an American Whirlpool hottub from this company at their Lakeland location two years ago…read more Went with a local company, knowing we would pay more, because support was important to us. They did tell me that they were going to be discontinuing that brand but that they would still provide service. Now the hottub can't get hot (I keep it set at 104 degrees and it is stuck at 99) so I called them to see about getting it serviced. Now they no longer service these hottubs and that I need to call the company to see who can service it. They couldn't/wouldn't help me find someone to service it! Guess now that they have my money, I'm on my own. Would never go back there again. UPDATE: Closest certified American Whirlpool service center wants to charge me $471 for travel expense. I have messaged this company to ask for help since they assured me they would still service the hot tub we bought and I never heard back from them (that was over a week ago. I also called the Brandon location to see if I could get some help and all I got was "I'm sorry!". No offer to help in any way. I hope others will see this before deciding to do business with these people.

After the hurricane(s) our hot tub no longer powered up. After looking around for hot tub repair…read moreservices, I found DutchCraft Services. In one trip, Ben diagnosed the problem and made the repair. Fast forward to the present, when we came back from a trip, I noticed that although the water was heating, it was nowhere near the higher temperature range. I tried to troubleshoot it myself, then gave up and gave Ben a call. On the phone, he was able to figure out the likely cause and told me to try out his solution. Lo and behold, it worked! Friendly, super knowledgeable, fair pricing, and efficient, the type of business anyone should strive for. Thank you so much Ben, you've won us over as a customer for life.

NEVER AGAIN! Called Ben to repair leaking jets in hot tub. When he arrived stayed for approximately…read more20 mins and then left due to a 5 minute cloudburst. Nothing was fixed but the entire wall exposing the motor was left on the ground broken into several pieces. It would be 4 weeks before he returned leaving the motor and broken wall exposed to the elements. Ben claimed he was "out of town" during this time~right in the middle of this job! Before he returned he contacted us and asked if he "accidentally" left the new jets inside the hot tub and asked if we could check. Sure enough they were there. This meant that during his entire first visit he removed 10 screws from the wall and left them on the ground with the now broken wall. We were quoted a price of $450. He returned and said he replaced the jets and left the broken wall stating that now that he had to repair the wall that he broke he would have to return and charge for additional materials. 2 days later we filled the hot tub to discover the jets still leaking. Upon his return he claimed that other jets were now leaking and we would be better off replacing the hot tub in its entirety. He then instructed us on how WE could repair the wall of the hot tub that HE broke. In a nutshell~it took Ben 6 weeks to attempt to repair service on our hot tub and all he did successfully was break the wall of our hot tub. He was not able to repair anything and suddenly the quote rose to $500. This of course was in addition to the $125 service charge that he was originally paid. Stay away from this company completely! One star is not low enough. Considering going to the Better Business Bureau and requesting a refund for work that was not completed and and unrepaired damages that he himself caused.

Cara the owner, was very gracious and advised she would have Ben, her husband, come out and look at the spa pump. Ben came and looked at the pump and felt confident it could be repaired. He ordered the necessary parts and indicated he would let us know when it came in. In the meantime, we mentioned to the pool builder doing the resurfacing that we had contacted Dutchcraft Services to repair the pump. Marty, from US Pools without us asking, stated that Ben does great work and he also recommended them. How cool was that? Ben completed the work. we had a hiccup, not because of anything Ben had done wrong, but the company putting the pebble sheen had plugged the spa to avoid material going into the pipe. They unplugged it and the spa pump works like a charm!! The best part, Ben's price was very reasonable! We are sooo happy with it and we are using the spa more than we ever have! I love this family owned business, they care and are meticulous with their work. Even though I hope we don't have another broken pump, it is reassuring to know Dutchcraft does great work and they are trustworthy and I can contact them should we ever need.. David and Denise

I cannot say enough good things about Keith. Our pool went from having black walls to looking absolutely brand new. I was worried the acid wash might damage the surface, but Keith immediately put me at ease. He explained everything clearly and assured me there was nothing to worry about--he's handled even worse cases, especially after hurricanes. Not only did he do an incredible job on the acid wash, taking his time to make sure it came out perfect, but he also spent the entire day installing our equipment. Then he stayed even longer to teach us, as first-time pool owners, exactly how everything works--the pump, the salt generator, and all the tools we would need to keep the water properly maintained. On top of all of that, he even cleaned the entire pool deck just out of kindness. Keith is truly a wonderful person who genuinely cares about his work and the people he helps. I can't say enough great things about him.

Well of course it's wet its a pool filter. He was rude and didn't even offer a solution. I believe this is the manager/owner.

Keeping a pool clean and balanced every week takes more time than most people expect, so having someone dependable handle it has been really helpful. They show up consistently, keep the pool looking great, and make sure the chemicals stay balanced so the water stays clear. A couple of times they also pointed out small equipment issues early, which helped us fix them before they became bigger problems. What we appreciate most is that they're easy to communicate with and straightforward about what the pool needs and what it doesn't. No pressure, just honest service. If you're in the Clearwater area and need someone to maintain your pool or check your equipment, Clearwater Pool and Patio has been a solid company to work with. It's nice knowing the pool is always clean and ready to use.

After a few months the pool looked like a swamp. I had several quotes to get the pool cleaned and running again, some of these other companies really tried to gouge me and upcharge me on things I did not want. Bob came out and gave me a very reasonable quote and did not try to upcharge me on anything. Once the pool got cleaned out I decided I should refinish it and add a sundeck. Again they could of gave me an outrageous quote since half the job was done but once again I was given a very reasonable number. Communication was great by phone, text and email. The guys who came out to do the work were very friendly and professional. The job got done in a reasonable amount of time and the pool looks fantastic. The company was know as Walker pools previously but now called Affordable so you can look up both to find them. If I ever need pool repairs again they will be the first ones I call. Really great job.
