We began using the services of Epic Pools October 2013, <br /> owned by Aaron Figaroa. We used their <br /> service from October 2013 to June 4, 2014 and had many problems with his <br /> service and advice for pool use. <br /> Epic Pools offered a <br /> special on Angies List. The special <br /> offered pool service for one year to include: <br /> Weekly pool cleanings, Provide regular chemicals, Clean skimmer basket, Test water Chemistry and balance water accordingly, Skim water surface, Brush pool walls, Vacuum pool as needed, Backwash filter, Clean salt cell, if applicable. <br /> In addition, we paid him to change the pool to a salt water <br /> pool which looked nice for the first two months. Then the pool began to have problems from <br /> then on. The chemical balance was always off. Aaron would miss prearranged service dates. This <br /> created more imbalances in the pool, turning the pool green with algae and <br /> bacteria. Finally, after months of frustration and not <br /> being able to use the pool safely, we hired another pool consultant to get a <br /> second opinion. We discovered that Aaron <br /> was not adjusting the problem with the right chemicals and over using other <br /> chemicals. Also, that the multiport <br /> valve on filter broken, bad gasket, was out and when the back wash was done, it <br /> pushed the bad water back into the pool. <br /> Also, when Aaron installed the piping for the salt water conversion, the <br /> pipes were not plum, causing a leak in the pipes. <br /> The pool never returned to the proper balance, until we <br /> hired another pool company on June 5, 2014. <br /> These pool issues made it impossible to allow our guests’ <br /> usage, as it could have jeopardized their health. When I asked Aaron if the pool could be used <br /> because of its color/condition, he informed me that the pool was safe to use. On June 4, the pool was greenish, and I again <br /> called to ask Aaron if the pool could be used. He said yes, and then when I clarified <br /> stating my guests have a specific health issue he said “No then you cannot use <br /> the pool”. Aaron would put shock into the pool and say <br /> the guests could swim right away, yet the other pool person stated it should <br /> not be used for 12 to 24 hours after shock is put into the pool. <br /> Aaron would not return calls for days and when he missed <br /> scheduled appointments he made excuses. He <br /> would also send unknown and inexperienced staff. <br /> I feel that his clients’ health may be compromised should he continue to do business in this way. <br /> Thank you sincerely for your time and attention to this critical matter. <br />
