Report
Jack olivers pool and spa is a joke. I had them install my inground vinyl pool liner 3 1/2 years ago and Ive had a problem ever cents. Ive called them over 15 times in the last three years without any response for someone to come out and take a look at my shoddy installation and bad liner. It got so bad that the discoloring and the fading occurred within six months and they refused to come out. Every time I would call they would say, our technicians are busy will get out there as quickly as we can. I spent thousands of dollars with JACK Oliver over the years and theyve done nothing

I went several pool places. None could help me. Even though the Rep at Jack Oliver could not help me He was Knowledgeable and lead me to a Plumber who could. Customer service is the BEST.

The Jack Oliver robot loaner program allowed us to test products before purchasing. Ive never owned a pool and only know what Ive researched on the web. We ended up purchasing the 9650 and can honestly say its worth the expense. Easy to use and clean plus the pool is spotless. The wife likes it too! They also service my pool. They are a good company with knowledgeable personnel.
