If you are considering a new pool, stay away from Desert Springs Pools and Spas. They tell a good story, have a nicely presented showroom and reasonable prices. But just over two years after our pool was installed, the plaster started to crumble. Our pool cleaning company told us a number of their other clients (who have a Desert Springs pool) experienced the same problem and it appears to be only Desert Springs pools. They have heard of no issues from BlueHaven or other pool companies.
Now I am stuck having to pay for repairs - Desert Springs blames the plaster company (who they subcontracted with) or our pool cleaner (saying the chemicals were not balanced). They wisely made the warranty only two years for plaster whereas the overall warranty is five year. Clearly they expected the plaster to fail - and it did. Good job Desert Springs - you fooled me. Congratulations.
Anyone reading this and planning to install a pool - beware.
