Gerardo was very patient teaching me how to use the equipment, and he is comes every week to make sure everything is in good order, including in the off-season, to check the pool cover, sump pump, etc. It is a huge relief to have Gerardo helping protect my investment in a new pool. He even came over during a storm when I was out of town to check on the pump that was on the cover, and to clean out the leaves that were clogging it:

Gerardo was polite, punctual and explained his plan of action of how he was going to get our pool back to blue, so we could actually swim again! Each day he came out to do his magic and sent me photos of the parts he repaired and any additions he made. He estimated the job would take 5 days and he was right. They are a family-owned business with a couple employees which I prefer. I'm very happy with the work and professionalism. Gerardo is a good-natured and friendly person. I really appreciate that he tries to salvage and refurbish parts vs tossing equipment away. Hence, I feel confident knowing that they will now be doing our monthly pool maintenance.

Antonio was our pool guy, very friendly, knowledgeable and when tell you if he saw any problems. Antonio left , The company subcontracts to other guys. I have new faces coming in my backyard plus I have kids from all this covid stuff. The service is weekly but will skip weeks sometimes. I have cameras all over the house which alert me every time someone is in my driveway and backyard. I called the owner just to ask did my days switch? I keep my dog in the house so he doesn't bother him. They don't check for chemicals levels just eyeball is what I was told. I never heard of a contractor, Dr, Teacher, etc eyeball. So I decided to test my water 2 days later. My chlorine was well over 10 which is super high! I brought it to the owners attention and he stated the summer is ok and it needs to last a week. Plus he told me that my filter might be the problem because it was old and dirty. I asked why didn't you mention this before? Too many issues and wasn't worth the money for 20 minutes a month $100 smh The people you hire reflect your company, do a better job!

I sent George Flanigan a request for quote and service of my 2023 Sundance Cameo 880 series Spa…read moreafter I looked over his website and saw what a great job he did at listing all his spa services and the associated charges. I had a hell of a time with both mildew or mold growth in my spa where I did a complete change of water and a deep cleaning along with a chemical cleaning of the jets just two months ago. Yet I was still getting brown flecks that were coming out the Jets and floating around my spa and I had really lost my patience with it. George contacted me back the same day via email with some very useful information and said he could make it out the next day to look things over and come up with a game plan. He said it sounded like it would be a two-day service where he would have to drain the spa and use a commercial jet cleaner one day and let the spa sit overnight, then refill it and super shock the spa the next day before refilling it and balancing all the chemicals. The knowledge he imparted to me about water chemistry that first day was beyond anything I had ever heard before and there were a few different reasons why I was dealing with the issues that I had. He mentioned there were no guarantees this would take care of the problem but he had handled spas worse than mine before and been able to solve their issues. I have been a spa owner for over 30 years but this new spa has been a real challenge and obviously my chemical balancing wasn't preventing the growth in the spa. Two days later my water is crystal clear and my chemical levels are all completely within safety levels. It's refreshing to find someone in their field of expertise who knows what needs to be done and communicates it flawlessly then executes on the plan with stellar results! I was so impressed with his timeliness and service, I decided to hire him for weekly maintenance on my spa so I wouldn't have to worry about whether I was balancing the chemicals correctly anymore or not. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alumni Pool Service for any kind of pool or spa servicing based on my experience with them!
