Buying a new house with a pool has been a goal of mine for a long long time. The thought of just lounging outside in the desert heat drinking a beer, has me excited just thinking of it. Then comes the reality in finding a pool service... I took me a few weeks to actually get service at home and this freaked me out so rather than wait I took a sample to the local Leslie pools in my neighborhood.
Not soon after they tested the water the rep tells me that my pool needs to be drained because the water was so bad. I couldn't believe it so I had to take it to another location to get another assessment. I checked our yelp community and found Checker Pool. The reviews were more positive than my water tests so far so I drive over 25 miles to see what they can do. The moment you walk in you feel welcomed, they were having a spring sale on Sunday and offered me hotdogs and snacks before even asking for service. #winning Once I got someone to help me I explained my situation, they tested the water and provided me with a great education clinic on my water. Not only did they provide context to why my pool was showing symptoms of needed to be drained, they also warned me not to drain the pool until later this year because you risk serious damage on your pool when drained in the AZ heat!
"So will I be able to swim in this pool this summer?" Was my question and they replied of course and in just about an hour!! Say what? Shortly after they provided me some chemicals, testing equipment and some additional cleaning accessories that were not even the top dollar ones, they recommended what they said "works." They assured me the confidence that this would work and soon after I was home treating my own pool and yes swimming in it later that day, skin still in tact a day later.
Bottom line: I am a promoter
Before coming hear I was convinced I was going to fork out $120 bucks a month to get my pool serviced and maintained but after working with the great team at Check Pools I am seriously going to try the instructions they provided and even though the commute is longer to see them, swimming in a healthy pool and knowing I can do it will be worth every trip! Thank you!
