    Riverline Pool Service - Our pool this year with a new service company.  Thank you Riverline for dropping me as a customer.   .

    Still waiting for Jeff Davis, the owner of Riverline Pool Service to contact me as to why he…read moredropped me as a customer. This is just another example of the poor customer service and the total lack of courtesy from Riverline. Poor to no customer service, much higher prices, ill trained technicians, that is what to expect from this company.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! RUN!!! These people are the…read moreabsolute worst. I had used them to open and close my pool for several seasons and each year the quality of their service deteriorated but I wanted to keep giving them the benefit of the doubt. But this year they hit rock bottom. They were scheduled to open the pool on June 23rd-- pretty late in the season but I was okay with it. They arrived on 6/23, took the cover off... and left. Didn't put the extremely heavy cover (it takes at least two guys to lift it; I cannot do it on my own) in the bin where it always goes, just dumped it in front and left (see photo.) Far worse: they did NOTHING else. Did not clean the pool, test the water, ZILCH. I began frantically calling them to see when they'd be back and got NO answer. It went straight to voicemail every time and every email I sent went unanswered; never a reply. Finally I came home to work the first week of July to see the water-- which had become a murky green swamp as I frantically begged them to come back-- was now a cloudier color, as if shock had been added, but still a filthy mess (see next photo.) Went and looked and someone had come and dropped chlorine pellets into the skimmer baskets-- but hadn't even emptied the actual baskets which were JAMMED with debris and therefore no chemicals could even begin to circulate. Why would anyone working in the pool industry not empty dirty skimmer baskets as their very first step? But that's far from the worst part. I walked over to the pool equipment to see if maybe at least the filter chamber had been cleared and not only had it not been cleared-- water was shooting out of the filter valve that was now cracked and from a hose that was split. These guys had shown up and not only did nothing-- they made things WORSE. You can imagine the number of phone calls and emails that ensued. I was literally BEGGING them to please get back to me. It was now July 10th-- I had no pool for the entirety of the Fourth of July Weekend and literally no one would ever, EVER get back to me. This is a company I used for years and I couldn't even receive the courtesy of a return phone call? I couldn't even get an email? This is completely unprofessional to say the least but also, honestly, just grossly negligent and incompetent. In the end, a different company saved the day and it cost me THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS between the deep cleaning and equipment repair (new valve, new hose, labor, etc.) to fix the mess Riverline created. These guys are to be avoided AT ALL COSTS-- or else, trust me, it will cost you. I am now about to pursue them in small claims court to recoup the $$$ I am out, that's how mad I am (and I've never sued anyone in my life.) The thing is: if your company is having issues (staffing, scheduling, etc.) how hard is it to just call someone back and say "We're really sorry but we're swamped and we're down a guy and can't make this happen"?? HOW HARD IS THAT? These jerks are rude, and they're wrong. Don't use them, you will absolutely regret it, sooner rather than later.

    My wife and I were trying to figure out what is the single best thing we have bought; in terms of…read moreusage, reliability, and cost, since we got married in 1994. The answer is our hot tub, so I am glad to write this review from a position of expertise. On November 3, 2012, we bought a Vista Hot Tub from Scarritt Spas and I thought it would be like an exercise bicycle...get used couple of times the first months and then everyone would gradually lose interest. The opposite has been the truth. I'll bet this tub has been used 150 days a year, every year, since it was installed, at a utility cost of pennies per day. I never thought I would use it...but it is wonderful for achy joints, sore muscles and for just rehabilitating after a hard day's work or a long bike ride. The kids use it almost every night when they are home from college or visiting. There is nothing better than hot-tubbing, with a hat on, during a snow storm. The colder the better. In the summer, the Vista has a low-power setting so the heater does not waste energy, and the kids turn the spa down to a more refreshing 85 degrees. We have had to have it serviced exactly one time, and that was when the heat pump was acting up and Scarritt came out and replaced it for free; two days after we called. In terms of maintenance; I have replaced the filters one time and I had to order a new cover after I inadvertently went all the way through it while pushing snow off. The chemicals are inexpensive; they do not even run $100.00/year. I thought I was going to have to be a chemist to keep the tub balanced but one of the greatest free services Scarritt provides is the ability to bring in a water sample and they print out a sheet of specific instructions of what to add to the tub. I don't have to do that often, it's usually a teaspoon here or a tablespoon there, but it gives me great peace of mind knowing it is well balanced. I can't wait for the grandchildren to be old enough to enjoy it, I am sure it will still be every bit as dependable at that point.
