    Status:
    Answered
    On June 20th Aquarius came to my home to remove metal stains from my pool liner. In doing that they left my liner with bleached spots all over. They ruined it. It's a 20 year liner in its 5th year of life. I've been trying to get them to come and look at the damage ever since. On July 24th they sent a service man ***, and another person. They tested my water, told me my water was way out of chemical balance and that they saw the bleaching. I then took a water sample to their store and my water balance was perfect. I believe they were trying to find a way to blame me for the bleached spots because they said my chlorine was way to high, it wasnt, and *** told *****, the service manager, there were no stains. I asked ***** to come look, we made an appt for 10:00 Thursday the 27th. No show, no phone call. When I called the store at 10:40 they said he had an emergency. I waited until Friday afternoon expecting ***** to call, nothing. I called, told ***** I wanted to speak to the owner, William Ridgewell. Mr.Ridgewell called me shortly and told me he would get with ***** to make a time they could both come and he would call me Monday, July 31st to set an appointment. It's is now August 9th and I have heard nothing. They damaged my pool liner, they know it and they are content to ignore the situation.

    Worst experience! Would never use or recommend them in way. I have been dealing with issues caused as a result of their shotty workmanship for over a year. This is not including the 3rd liner in as many years. The last liner was due to a service person who came over to tuck the liner in the track around the pool and used a heat gun to literally melt a hole in it. They used a section of liner they found in the back of their truck to patch the hole that was about 6 inches long. When they left withing a few hours I was emailed a bill for their service. They finally agreed to replace liner after the winter this past spring. Was told it would take 2 weeks maybe 3 from start to finish. After over a month of the liner removed and sitting exposed to the elements they finally got to my pool. To this day I am still dealing with a leak. According to them, losing over an inch of water a day normal. I have had pool for over 20 years and never experienced this before. I have left 4 messages and no resolution. At the start of this I left a message and emails for owners to reach out to me to voice the unprofessional treatment I was receiving and still not a phone call or acknowledgment from them. As of now I have another pool company coming to finish the job that Aquarius pools started.
