I thought I’d try Bob’s Pools to close my pool in 2011, due to their ‘affordable’ charge to do so. We provided all chemicals and would put the cover on ourselves(to save money). They came out when promised, though I wasn’t there to oversee cleaning process. They did a poor job of: * Cleaning film from liner * Did not remove stairs or railing * Unsure of chemical use — when removed cover in 2012, the pool was slime green with thick algae on liner walls(NEVER happened in years past — always clear and clean) * Did not properly flush lines, as upon opening in 2012, 1 of 3 pipes cracked and needed replacing/repair When pool opened in 2012, large respected(and expensive) pool company informed me that lines were not properly drained, resulting in freeze and cracking of pipes. In addition, doubted proper chemicals were used to prevent algae and fungal growth in the water. Had to use an abundant of chemicals to counteract the nasty water infection! Price is a big deciding factor when using someone, but in the end, it cost me $ 300 for repairs and additional chemicals! Wouldn’t use again and would not favorably recommend to anyone.
