To be truthful they are overall respectful, but their customer service really needs improvement.
I signed up with this company May 2011. The original pool guy was not the greatest and could be unprofessional but I was willing tolerate. He would often try to sell pool equipment to me on the side which was irritating.
In April 2012 they changed the pool guy without notifying me that someone new would be attending my pool. My father happen to be home one day and noticed this completely different person cleaning my pool. I let that slide and did not complain.
Every time they would clean the pool I would get a notice on my door letting me know that the pool was serviced. The true hassle occurred in early May when I got a notice informing me that my timer was not functioning, however there was no follow up from them until I called. Also my filter had to be changed which at the time I agreed to since I knew the pool guy was coming later that week so pretty much it would be changed. It was in this conversation that they explained that to determine the actual problem they could send someone but I would have to pay 75$. I did not appreciate that since I was paying them 90$/month BUT I agreed to pay the 75$ because truthfully I was very concerned about the pool. Turned out that it was the pump and not the timer which is fine. The week of May 21st I decide to cancel my overall pool service AND the order of the filter which was still not installed. By this time I had signed up with another pool service who did not charge me to come out and determine the pool problem. Plus, their charge for fixing the pump was way more reasonable then what All Florida Pool was going to charge me for changing the pump.
So when calling to cancel the lady on the phone agreed to canceling the service and the filter, but indicated that I was still due for two more cleanings which they could refund my money OR just come out to clean the pool. I agreed to them coming to clean the pool. I stressed with the lady that it would just be for the pool cleaning and nothing else. And, she reconfirmed it would ONLY be cleaning since I had already paid for the month. Stupid me I should have just agreed to have them send a cheque! The week I cancel the service and filter; miraculously when he comes to service a new filter is put in and I get a bill for 115$. Remember I cancelled my service and I also canceled the filter at the same, however she told that I still have two more cleanings due. Also, remember I do owe them the 75$ for the service guy that came out to determine that the problem was with the pump. And, I was awaiting the bill but not a bill for a 115$ for a filter I canceled. So when calling the company I am told I owed the 115$, and I explained that I canceled, this person has the audacity to tell me that they would come and take out the filter and put back in the previous filter. Also, that they were doing me a favor by canceling since I am supposed to give them at least a month's notice. I explained that A-it was not my fault that the original person I spoke with agreed to cancel my account and B- how would I know that the filter they would put back in would be the original filter. She explained that I am getting a filter for free and they could come and take it out. I essentially said that their company was no longer permitted on my property!
At this point I was told that a manager would call me back. A couple of weeks go by and I do not hear from the manager, so I call and she explains that she needs to speak to her manager. So a couple more weeks go by and now we are in mid-late June, and the matter is still not resolved. However, I get another bill for 115$, and I call but the manager is not in, and I am told that she will call me back. More time goes by and I get another bill and this time an email of the bill, plus a phone call from their Accounts Receivable department. I speak to that person, and once again explain my story. Saying that I canceled the service and the filter, however I do owe 75$ for the service man coming out to take a look at the problem with my pump. She then tells me that she needs to speak to the manager. BTW, this was last week that I spoke with her. I decided to email yesterday and find out the status of the situation. Finally today (July 18th) I get a call from the manager saying that she spoke with her manager and they would give me a 10% discount and I would be charged approximately 103$ including the taxes. By now I am fed up and beaten down and just wanting this company out of my life. But, I do feel robbed. I was with this company for a year and overall I am very disappointed. I know the difference between 115$ and 75$ is only 40$ but truthfully it was the principle of the matter. I canceled and it is not my fault that the communication in their company is deplorable. Every time I spoke with a person I would have to explain the entire situation all over again. Also, here I was always paying my bills on time and in good standing, and this is the treatment I get.
The company I am with now, anything goes wrong I am immediately called,/emailed it is the same guy, same day of the week who comes to clean my pool regardless of weather conditions. I get emails every time the pool is cleaned explaining exactly what was tested, and what they cleaned and if any chemicals were added. The service is so much better, and very professional.
Honestly, I would never recommend All Florida Pool and Spa Center to anyone!
