I recently hired Guardian to replace my old pool heater, pump and install a new digital control panel. They did a great job. Rick showed up on time, completed the job quickly and cleaned up my pool equipment area as promised. Although I had a little trouble learning the control panel, they quickly followed up and gave me further instructions. Everyone from the owner to the installer to the office personnel - I found them all very courteous, professional and responsive. I had other bids for my pool equipment but chose Guardian Pools based on their reputation and the length of time they have been

I called Guardian about switching out my single speed pool pump for a variable speed pump and a new cartridge filter. They walked me through the difference between the different models and a recommendation for what would be the right fit for my pool. These guys know their stuff ! They never tried to up-sell anything and everyone I dealt was great. Rick came for the installation and did an awesome job. He was very patient with all my questions and left the job neat and clean after the installation. One of the best customer service experiences I have had since moving to Florida. I will definitely

Horace has been takeing care of my pool every week for almost 5 years now. He never missed a day, always like clockwork, on time and thorough. Guardian has never inflated the price for any repair I've needed. Their prices are very fair and do not charge me extra for chemicals and minor maintenance issues and repairs. My previous pool guy charged me for the service and I had to provide the chemicals
