I'm honestly a little surprised by the poor experiences with Poolman other Yelpers have reported; I have had Poolman for about a year now and I couldn't be happier!
I found Poolman through a friend's referral after spending thousands of dollars on various chemicals to try to keep my pool clean. In fact, I think they should rename Leslie's after me because of how much $$ I spent there. After a year of trial and error without much success, I decided I had had enough. I called Poolman to join their Salt Water Program. In short - I pay about $40 a month and they have installed and maintain a salt water pump on my pool. Since that day, my pool has been sparkling clean! Additionally, our technician has always been polite, on time, and always gives great advice when we have questions about how to care for the pool. To be clear - our deal does not include cleaning or emptying baskets - it is strictly the maintenance of the salt water system and chemicals.
I do have to offer a personal apology to our technician as we are pretty bad about emptying the baskets...the poor guy has to leave us notes to remind us regularly! Sorry!
Pros:
*Price is right
*Clear water!
*On-time service from a regular technician
*Helpful extra tips and advice (none of which has cost us an extra penny!)
*Online bill pay.
Cons:
*None so far!! :)
