Very helpful! They helped us re-balance our pool after it turned green unexpectedly, even though we had been treating it. Thank you!

I have bought chemicals and many small pool items from Jack Oliver Pools for many years. I had a major issue this week with my pool filter / pump indicating low flow. Water was turning green and we had guests coming the next day. David in the showroom took time to have me send photos- video of pump running to the stores email and was able to help me diagnose the problem which I was able to repair easily. He spent extra time with me by phone and email even though the store was very busy that day. Excellent customer service from a long standing wonderful Columbia business

They had the part I needed. It was in within what I would consider reasonable pricing. Good conversation with the owners. Great place too

My hot tub was delivered with the lid lift on backorder in September. I called back a month later and was told it was in and would be delivered the next week. That was 2 weeks ago. So I called to follow up, mainly to make sure they didn't forget, since times are crazy. I was told we were in a pandemic and no service people were available. All I asked for was an update.

Jack olivers pool and spa is a joke. I had them install my inground vinyl pool liner 3 1/2 years ago and I've had a problem ever cents. I've 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 they've done nothing to keep or maintain my business. To all who read this review, buyer beware. I believe I have a secondhand and/or a faulty liner which is now going on 4 years old and I will have to replace it. It has many discoloration and black markings throughout the liner. I will never use Jack Olivers Pool & Spa nor will I encourage anyone to use them since they are not a people of their word!

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. I've never owned a pool and only know what I've researched on the web. We ended up purchasing the 9650 and can honestly say it's 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.
