I needed pool service pretty immediately after the rains in November and Japi was among the first…read moreto call me back and provide a time for me. He is very thorough, and knows his pools. He is responsive and even answers all of my dumb questions (I am a first-time pool owner). Prices are in line with the industry average, but he truly cares about the pool and does a good job every week! The proof is the report that he sends with each service with pics!

We hired GP&A after speaking with several pool companies and chose them specifically based on their…read morereviews praising quick response times and communication. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We did the "Green-to-Clean ($800)". It took SIX weeks. We had to repeatedly follow up because they would go ~2 weeks without showing up or communicating. When we asked, we were told there was an emergency situation, we tried to be understanding, but there was no proactive communication on their end. We decided weekly service ($250/month). After the initial clean, we signed up for weekly maintenance. Within 24-48 hours of each visit, chlorine levels would drop back to 0 ppm. GP&A's explanation was that our pool system was outdated and needed to be replaced. However, we had two separate pool inspections done when we purchased the home, plus 3-4 other pool companies assess the equipment, none of them flagged the system (installed in 2017) as a problem requiring replacement. Upsell attempts: GP&A quoted us a full system replacement (under $6,000) and then a filter replacement (~$2,200) before they said they could continue service. We decided to move on to another provider. End of service: We asked if they could continue maintaining the pool through the end of the month. Their last visit was six days before the final day of the month (image attached). The pool was visibly green and in poor condition by end of month (again they serviced it 6 days ago and it is this green; not adding enough chlorine). When we brought this up, they responded that the condition was "consistent with the unresolved filtration issue for which repairs were recommended", essentially placing responsibility on us for not purchasing their repair package. We were looking for a long-term, trustworthy pool service company. What we experienced was poor communication, inconsistent results, and recommendations that no other company has supported. I cannot recommend GP&A based on our experience.

Fair pricing and good techs who know what they're doing. My wife and I moved from Lantana to…read moreCorinth, and we had a pool service in Lantana, but while the house was on the market, another "new guy" (the old service went through probably 5 pool cleaning techs in the 18 months I lived here with my wife) didn't tighten the pool filter basket access and the pool lost prime for the entire weekend we moved. We were so grateful that the pump motor didn't burn out! My wife went by our former residence the following Monday and found the pool out of prime. I headed over and found the pool filter basket lid installed backward/upside down with "FRONT" facing the wrong way, and therefore it could not be tightened. I fixed the issue and got the pump back to prime and immediately called around, while my wife let the owner of the other company know about "yet another" of his employees' goofs. Pretty Pools had the most reasonable fees and have done an infinitely better job than the last company. We had zero issues with Pretty Pools maintaining our pool and the house just sold and the buyers have been referred them as well. Pretty Pools also does the chemicals service at our new place and I'm as pleased as can be. They also sent a tech (for a fee) to evaluate our pool heater. The information I received was invaluable and we will be using them to replace the heater. There are other companies in the area that also do great work, but charge quite a lot more and I'm not entirely sure they're worth it. Pretty Pools does a great job, communicates well and always returns calls/emails.

UPDATE: new pool service came out and said our DE pool filter needed to be cleaned. I informed him…read morethat had been done less than 2 months ago.

So at first when we start. Service was ok. David come first…read moretime and explain a bit about the pool and the system. It was the first time I owned a pool. So I didn't know much. Then we got the big dallas storm. Take David something like 4 months to repair the manifold for the hot tub. So I was not able to use it for 4/5 months. But I totally understand. It was short on any supplies all over. So I can't blame him. How ever ever sense then. The service was not good. I don't know if it's something to do with where we located in Richardson. Or maybe my pool was a big and he didn't overcharge. I have no idea. But service was not good. The guy he send will come few min. Clean a bit. And run away. The pool was always dirty. And yellow on the ground. So many times I find my self going in to brash and clean. So many times. Every time I have an issue. I will let the service guy know. But he would never transfer that forward. Then I will have to text David and that take another week or two before maybe it's get taking care off. His guy will never basically check to make sure everything work. Or any leak. Will come. A bit Cleaniny. Some chemicals and run away. The pool lights never work. He never cared. The pool have a leak for months before I notice my water bill is high. The pool system was beeping for months before finally David was able to come take care of it. For months I will seat and watch a movie and the system will keep beeping. Not good service. For 4 months or so I inform David. That one of those things on the ground are cloth I have asked is your guy suppose to clean it ? His answer was yes. I was watching it. 3/4 months after. He still didn't clean it. I have pic to approve. I have sold the house lately. So I am glad I don't have to deal with it. But soon will build a new pool in my new house. I doubt it I will use north Texas pool again. I don't mind to pay a bit more but enjoy my pool. I did transfer the new owner david number if he want to use him. But just to be nice. I have a mix feeling about the service.

Unfortunately I am not able to rate my experience as 5 stars. Initially I thought I had found the…read moreperfect company (I got the "we'll fix your gate latch" treatment and they loved the family dog in the sales meeting...). That has all subsided and it has been a very poor experience. I have never written a negative review of any business prior to using Ranger Pools, but I feel compelled to inform others of my experience. The issue arose when I noticed a leak in my pump, of which I could tell they left a piece off the equipment when servicing it. What followed was 2-3 weeks of frustration in them not addressing the issue (after they took the piece off). They either responded with a quick note about they will fix it tomorrow or no response at all. My frustrations really escalated when they made regularly weekly visits and did not fix it - they would send out the "everything's good" type of weekly status report. The only way I could get them to address my concern was writing a Yelp review. A few minutes after that went up they sent an email asking what I wanted. I said I know you haven't been servicing my pool to my expectations for at least the last month, please fix my leak and give me the last month's charges back and in return I would remove the Yelp review. They fixed the pump finally, but to this point there is no refund. As unorganized as they are, I'm just watching for the next month's recurring charge, even though I cancelled them long ago. I hired a new company to come out and I got even more shock. Despite the most recent weekly report from Ranger showing cyanuric acid levels as 30-50 ppm which they labelled "ideal," the new company found the level to be 300 ppm! For those that don't know, this is a chemical that slows down the reaction of chlorine so it doesn't evaporate too quickly. When you get a level over 100 ppm you essentially lock up the chlorine from working at all. And you can't get it out of your water, overtime fresh water will dilute it but at levels as high as I have I am left with the likely option of having my water pumped out and having to start fresh. This is because bacteria and algae will be certain and there are some health concerns in having that high of level of acid. Of course, with North Texas water restrictions I may have some hoops to jump through and some extended loss of use. To verify the new company had a correct reading, I took it to Leslie's and unfortunately they came up with a similar result and prognosis. The pool will need to be drained. I've tried to reach Brandon and the tech numerous times throughout this to reach a resolution and correspondence is limited and they take no responsibility. How in the world did it go from "ideal" to disaster in a 7 to 10 day period? Or did this happen in a 10 day period (Leslie's staff tells me you'd almost have to try to do that in that short of period)? Did the tech lack the knowledge to do the readings or did he just skip over parts of the service? These are all things I am wondering. One thing is for sure, they are very careless with my property. It was common to find pool items strung across the yard and landscaping, computer boxes on the equipment left open, leaves remaining in pump baskets and the gate was always left unlatched for the dog to escape if we didn't notice it first. Brandon's response to what happened and the possible resolution, written 10/1/14: "Jay We call it old water and it happens to every pool after a period of time. It's normal and unavoidable." My pool just turned 3 years old. I am not an expert but I don't think it is normal to have to drain the water every three years due to chemical imbalance. And it hardly explains why it went from "ideal" to emergency situation in a short amount of time. But maybe that is "unavoidable" for Ranger pools too. A little customer service, accepting a little responsibility and offering some form of refund or ways to correct the problem would have resolved this. But their customer service is non-existent. I'd encourage all to keep looking - don't buy into the friendly sales pitch...

I just bought a house with a pool, with zero knowledge on how to maintain one. Brandon, from…read moreRanger Pools, came by and in a very short time got my pool whipped back into shape. If you need pool service, these are your guys. Fast, extremely friendly and affordable.
