    Skimmer plate missing, patched with plaster, above water line.

    Very disappointed with our Spa Remodel by South County Pools. There were multiple issues. Water level tile was not installed straight on one side of the spa, there is a very noticeable swag in the tile. The company was told about it, the tile person was going to take a look but never came, and, didn't hear another word. Rather than fix a skimmer housing correctly before plaster it was left as is, they just patched with new plaster that extends above the pool water line which shouldn't be done. The company provided a skimmer plate for me to repair that did not fit. Paid $600 for "Start up water chemistry". One would think that over the 28 day start up period the chemistry would be right, it wasn't. Salt level too low so on the last day of start up South County Pools added a bag of salt and advised us to add another bag of salt a week later which created very high salt concentration, I had to drain 7" of water from the spa and refill. PH level was not right after 2 weeks, they said they added acid, it still wasn't right after 28 days. In short paid $600 to remove leaves from the spa. Very surprising that when the project was complete there was never a "thanks for the business". If you use this company stay on top of the work quality and have a clear understanding up front on what and how the job will be completed.

    Sean and South County Pools made our vision of putting a pool in the front yard of our mid-century modern house come true!! We were after a very specific design and Sean worked with us (and the city) to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. I can't say enough good things about these guys, but the best compliment to give is a referral. Sean and South County Pools are making dreams come true, one pool at a time!

    See all

    If I could give minus 1000 stars, I would…read more I am writing this so other homeowners are aware. This is my experience with CLEAN CHOICE POOL & SPA, and these are the facts. During routine pool service at my home, their employee opened my main water valve - that was closed for a good reason - without my permission while I had stepped away to Home Depot to buy a shower cartridge. When I returned, water was pouring into my garage. My home flooded from the top level down. One week before Christmas, EVERY room was water damaged and had to be demolished. When it happened, the employee called the owner on speakerphone and said he had made a "huge mistake," explaining what he had done. The owner responded, "Do not tell this to the lady," not realizing he was on speakerphone. That alone says it all. Instead of coming to assess the damage, he claimed that he was out of town and that he could not recall the name of his insurance carrier. From that moment on, they never showed up, neither the owner BOB, neither his son ADAM. I was left alone dealing with the consequences. What followed were more than 4 months of construction, two years of stress, a $5,000 deductible loss, and additional out-of-pocket expenses. Because I had to file through my own insurance, my homeowners policy was not renewed. In California, if you have a single water claim -- regardless of fault -- it is extremely difficult to obtain new coverage. To this day, I have been unable to secure a house insurance, and my mortgage has increased by $600 per month due to this lack of coverage. This experience has had serious financial and personal consequences for me. I have been fooled by their fake smiles and I regret it every day. Now you know and it is up to you to decide who you want to give your business to.

    We have had the pleasure of hiring Adam for 6 years. He is great. Professional, punctual and…read moreknowledgeablable. He also goes above and beyond to make sure we have a clean, safe pool and hot tub for our family. I highly recommend. He also loves our dogs which is a huge bonus

We had someone else out previously that "fixed" it, but actually did more harm than good with the work that he did. Jordan patiently explained all that had to be done, and gave us a few different scenarios and pricing of depending on what he found as he dismantled and tried to fix the spa. Access to the repair area was extremely tight and difficult which made his job even harder. Of course, it turned out to be the worst case scenario; despite the price we decided to fix it. (the alternative would have been a new spa) Due to the fact that we were in no huge rush to fix it, Jordan patiently worked on it after a full day of work for over a week. He was patient, respectful and professional. After a week of work, her finally got her up and running. I'm sure this job ended up being much more difficult than he had anticipated....but he did a great job fixing it. I would highly recommend Jordan to anyone requiring repair of their inground or aboveground spa's.

Jordan and his team were professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The quality of their work really shows, and our pool looks and feels better than ever.
