Yea these guys cost more and it is well worth it! I have customers with pools that are on the commercial level. I have had more than 7 pool companies out to look at this pool. These guys were the only ones that could handle the job and the rest of my pools. Fast knowledgeable crews and a good response time. If you want some cheap random probably unlicensed pool cleaner at your house not managing your chemicals incorrectly use those guys. These guys rock and the owner is definitely a reasonable guy. The email updates are awesome. I still do not quite understand how you can lump chemical prices into a service without knowing what you might need. How is it a pool evaporates the same rate in 90 degree weather as in in 110 degree weather. I say that because the hotter it is the more water and chemicals you have to add to a pool. Do you swim in your pool a lot? Do you have dogs that swim in a pool? My guess is that if someone claims to be able to bill you for the exact amount of chemical one of two things is happening. You are getting ripped off and not the correct of chemical and or its underbid and you are gonna have to find a new pool guy. I am saying that in their defense mostly because it seems all these psychics are in the pool business.
