I called to set all of this in motion in February. They came out, drained the pool, drilled holes in the pool to keep it from popping out of the ground, then left the wooden forms in the pool for months. The water kept getting deeper and dirtier, but their excuse was they couldn't do anything until the new cement was in (I replaced the deck). The cement company was waiting on the pool company, as they had to know the tile size and thickness. Neptune never came back to check on the pool, knowing that the groundwater level was high here, and so the pool just became a cesspool. My beautiful pool that had just the one blemish in it now looks terrible. There are rust marks all over the pool, and dirt stains that will not come out. The patch that they put on the Baja bench looks like it was done by a preschooler, and does not match the rest of the gunnite. I had suggested to Chad (the person I had to deal with at Neptune) that they might use tiles in the area that was being patched. I meant install tiles to cover the patched area. They put 3 fish tiles in the gunnite, and they only serve to draw attention to the sloppy patching.
When Chad realized that he hadn't gotten my ok on any tiles, he dropped off a booklet and told me to chose. I did. No. That tile is more expensive than what he had quoted me an allowance for. Same with 2nd choice. And 3rd. So I decided to go ahead with the first choice and pay the difference. No, they weren't in stock and would not arrive until mid May. That was a long time to wait, so I finally found a tile that would work. So, the pool didn't get finished until mid June anyway, and as I have stated, it looks nasty.
The cover is fine. The pump and heater working better than before they fixed them, so I will give them that. Chad said they could hydrolyze the pool this Fall, but I would have to pay for it, and I am not sure that would get the stains out, as I can find no information on it.
I am very disappointed in Neptune, and especially Chad and his passing off of the responsibility for things going wrong, and not correcting problems in a timely or effective manner.
I have no wish to ever work with Chad again.F. Their scheduling was chaotic with their repair guy showing up and calling me from my house saying he was there. I didn't schedule the appointment just inquired about potential dates when I initially called so I had to rush home to let him in. He looked at the spa and took some of the broken pieces back to order replacement nozzles. Second visit he came back with the replacement parts but didn't realize until the install that it was 2 different type of jets (total of 4) so he had two parts that didn't work. Third visit he came back and forgot the two parts somewhere. I was so frustrated I just had him close of the pool while he was there and put off fixing the spa until this coming season. There office service wasn't any better. I called to inform them of the horrible repair job and have my bill adjusted (by the way, they charge something like $80-130 for the service call + extra depending on the time each job takes) so I wouldn't have to pay for the poor organization on their part. I left messages and emailed them through their site for a follow up and didn't hear back. Finally called and spoke with someone in their scheduling dept and got the bill adjusted and told them we won't be using them going forward.
What a waste of time.
