We got home on July 2nd and when I went out to check on the pool, it looked like a "Catfish Pond". It ruined our 4th of July and it took me 4 days to clear the pool up on my own. The tech even stated on the work sheet he left behind that he only used our chemicals and the pool was still cloudy and needed to have additional chemicals added. That's what we paid them to do!!
I called Mike's office and spoke to his secretary but never heard back from him.
"When we checked on the pool we repaired the light as the customer requested. We determined that the customer needed more chemicals and tried to reach him on his cell phone & left a message. We added the chemicals that the customer had left for us. Had the customer called us back & authorized the additional chemicals, we would have made another trip and added them. As a rule, we do not sell chemicals without the customer authorizing that sale. We are sorry that it ruined his holiday."
I finally tired of paying for no improvement and called Mike Matthews Pool and Spa Service. Stephen was a little late for the appointment, but called to say he was on his way. He diagnosed the problem as yellow algae and said he knew what to do. He inspected the "zeosand" in the filter and found it clumped, even though it was only 3 years old. He recommended replacing the 'zeosand' with regular sand and did so. He then added an entire quart of Swintrine Plus algaecide and 6 bags of my chlorine shock. The charge was about $250.
Although I had hoped for an immediate improvement, it took almost a week for the pool to clear. Since then, the pool has been crystal clear.
I was very pleased to have the situation resolved and would use Mike Matthews Pool and Spa Service again.
