After two calls to John with no response I decided to post a few pictures of what’s going on so customers can see how they operate. This is the result of my elderly parents having their liner replaced (partially replaced). As you can see a sharp object was left on the floor of the pool and looks to be ready to puncture through the new liner. Along with this and several other issues the liner needs to be secured in the two different locations shown in the pictures. John, stop putting these elderly people through the stress of dealing with your lack of follow up and just finish the job, the right way.Still no response……

If you want to deal with the most knowledgeable pool person in the area, John Etcheson is your guy. In addition to his vast knowledge and experience, he spends your money as if its his own. Weve had some unusual pool issues since moving here a few years ago and all have been resolved to our satisfaction. We have really enjoyed getting to know John and his staff and highly recommend Etcheson for all your pool needs.

The team at Etcheson is always extremely helpful! When I bought my most recent home I had never managed a pool in my life. I can walk in the store at any time and they will help walk me through any issues that might pop up. I definitely recommend supporting this local business. They have helped me countless times with free advice to keep my kids swimming all summer.

Etcheson spa and pool have been wonderful to work with at our community pool. Excellent service and quality work. Their workers are very friendly and very hard workers. Definitely will continue to use them in our opening. And closing of our pool, as well as, other repairs that we need. Highly recommend them!

John and his team went above and beyond in helping me out. He took what could have been a simple “sorry we can’t help you” to “let me see what I can do”. His team was very courteous and professional, explaining things as they went. Highly recommend!

Two days ago, I went to this store as a last resort having been unable to find anyone in our area to service our pool since the original installer won’t return My phone calls or emails. I forgot about Etcheson actually but decided to give them a try. When I walked in, I announced that I needed sand so I could change my own sand filter. The staff were so pleasant and attentive. Fun actually. They answered all of my questions without making me feel like a bother. They loaded my sand without me even asking - other stores made me haul my own out. Fast forward 2 days and I was still trying to finish the job myself. I couldn’t get the filter put back together so I called the store and cried ‘uncle’! We laughed and he got me scheduled for tomorrow. John also gave me some tips to do with the water since the pump hadn’t been running for two days. He Even exceeded expectations and was able to send someone out this morning- Only 3 hours after I called. Needless To say, they have my business! Love this store and their staff! Thank you, thank you, thank you ! Also, I don’t normally write reviews. But I felt this store’s customer service deserved a big shout out!

I have been a loyal customer of Etcheson spa and pool for at least 15 years. Sometimes owning a pool can be frustrating but John has always been able and willing to teach me and help me to have a great pool season. John and Kathy are people of integrity and they work very hard to to please their customers.

We were first time pool owners. We loved that they would test our water for free and let us know what we needed to add to water. We got a printout every time and they talked through how to add chemicals and amounts for our pool. They did not pressure us to buy their chemicals or products at all!

Etchison quickly became my local pool store of choice after purchasing our pool this year. They were attentive, professional and very helpful in getting to know the ropes of pool ownership. Nice small business with personal service.

I was struggling with my pool this summer. It kept turning green and I couldn’t get it under control. I took a water sample in and they helped me figure out what was needed to get it back in balance and avoid the green returning. They pointed me in the right direction and didn’t try to sell me a bunch of unnecessary chemicals that I didn’t need. I will always choose them for their honesty and helpfulness!!

We had a mess when we ordered a hot tub from a big outfit in Chicago area. Delivered with damage, needed replacement/warranty work done before we ever used it. We had Etchesons do the warranty work. They answered a million questions, came out multiple times, dealt with warranty stuff on our behalf and gave me FOLLOW UP phone calls to make sure we were AOK. Recommend 110%.

The “other guys” left us hanging and did not fix the problem now return our call. Etcheson came to the rescue and promptly returned our call, scheduled to come out the next day, and had us back up and running. I will be calling them first for any future issues.

There are a few different places in the area where you could go for pool and spa service. However, John does a great job educating the staff and they all are really helpful. Especially when you are new to it all

We love Etcheson! Always willing to help us out whenever we had questions, and didn’t make us feel stupid when we didn’t know something. We will forever continue to go to Etcheson for all of our pool needs.

I have known Etch for 45+ years, standup guy, runs a good company... I buy most all my spa chemicals from his place. Stop by, say HI to his team and check out his place of business.

Im a 10+ year customer and been completely satisfied not only with the products sold but with the service. I maintain a 24 foot above ground pool and purchase all my startup chemicals, filter sand, and filter parts at Etchesons. I recommend them to all my friends.

I have never been more impressed with a company. They took care of us, and we were truly cared about. We have dealt with other pool companies who brushed us off, and told us to watch YouTube videos if we needed help. Etcheson was amazing. Explained everything we needed to know. Can’t recommend them enough!

Good company who stands behind their work. I had one of their summer temp employees make a mistake when changing a bulb, and management was quick to make things right.

Horrible !!! Please choose anyone else!!! I have been given the run around for a month now!! They had no problem taking my deposit, summer I’d be half over by the time they get my new liner put in. If they even get it in! I will be contacting the better business bureau next! They never call you back, keep pushing back the install date! I still can’t get an answer from them. Let alone get back my 1,000 deposit !!

Parts under a home warranty. They refused to diagnose and simply ordered the part. Guy couldnt put in part, homeowner had to. Also no pvc or pool plumbing supplies on truck. Owner had to go to ace and complete job. HOWEVER!!! They Did attempt to bill my insurance company twice. Total scam and will be reported to BBB.

Nobody had ANY EXPERIENCE to answer any of my questions! As a first time pool owner I had lots of of questions and also needed a hose(took the broken hose that I needed replaced) The staff looked no older than 18(no joke) and couldnt answer a single question I had. Lots of shoulder shrugging and I dont knows. Very disappointing.

I needed a vent valve for an older cartridge filter, the team at Etchedon took the time to dig through old catalogs to find the part number and had the part on hand. These guys are truly pros when it come to helping keep your pool in good running condition.
