Moved in to a new house with a pool. Explained to the guys at the counter (who were great) that I knew nothing about pools, gave me detailed instructions on how to get the pool back to its original colour, sold me what I needed, explained how to operate everything in great detail. Props to those guys in store.
That’s where the good service stopped. Had a guy come out to check over the whole pool. They sent me a quote for a new chlorinator. Told me my pool lights weren’t working, sent me another $1660 quote to replace two pool lights. Went and had a look at the pool lights before accepting the quote. Could see that the active wire was hanging loose on the power supply. Other one had a blown fuse. Fixed for $3.
Got a quote for new chlorinator from Queensland pool supplies around the corner and came in nearly $500 cheaper for a comparable brand (Neptune vs Ozxtreme, same price online). Just go to Queensland Pool Supplies. Way better service for cheaper. Family owned too which is great.
Response from Swimart Aspley
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind comments about our in-store team. We are pleased to hear that they were able to help you get started with your pool and provide the guidance you needed.
We are, however, disappointed to learn that your experience with our service visit did not meet your expectations.
Our technician's recommendations are always based on the condition and operation of the equipment at the time of inspection. While we appreciate that you were able to identify and rectify the issues with your pool lights at a minimal cost, we understand how frustrating it would have been to receive a quote for repairs that ultimately were not required.
Regarding the chlorinator quotation, we recognise that customers have many options available and that pricing can vary between suppliers, brands, product specifications and warranty offerings. We always aim to provide quality products, professional installation, and ongoing support, but we appreciate your feedback regarding the price difference you experienced.
We genuinely value honest feedback, as it helps us review our processes and improve the service we provide. Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention, and we appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge the positive assistance you received from our store team.
Kind regards,
JB
