HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Dont waste your time. Theyll charge you an extra 3.75% for using a credit card. The sign is posted at the cash register, by the time you see the miniature sign theyve already swiped your card. Everythings already extremely over priced. The owner is straight up unpleasant. Theres no such thing as customer service here. Not to mention her ill mannered dog. Lastly, they dont even keep the hours they have posted. These have been my experiences at aqua pool. Its worth the drive to classic pools. I will never go back. If I could give 0/5 stars I would

They do not service above ground pools. Of course they did not inform me of this until we had gone back and forth via email (they don't answer the phone) for over a week. And after I initially stated it was above ground!!

Unprofessional political stance. If you want more business don't put political bumper stickers on your work trucks! Never doing business with this company and I will be urging others to do the same!
