Jim has been very helpful and responsive for all of our pool questions. They have a great selection of products on hand. I highly recommend Bell Pool for anyone that has a hot tub or pool.

Called them about a few service questions since they serviced the pool just before I moved in. They replied back the next day over text message instead of calling back. After having me take pictures and explain what is going on, he referred me to have my service taken over by Olympic pool even though Bell has been servicing it prior to my move in. Odd thing to do and odd to try and serivce over a text message instead of making an appt. to come out. Update: I did receive a call from The general manager who apologized for my exchange with the service team and relayed the information that the service team should have.
I had a great and productive conversation with Jason and when visiting this store I have had nothing but good experiences with Jason and his team. I am still skeptical about the service team and their professionalism and customer service. As a service team you still provide CUSTOMER service and need to be willing to help customers out as needed.

Bell pool has done an outstanding job for us over the last two years they have been professional in accurate and consistent in their diagnosis of our pool water. Before we started going to Bell Pool and spa we had tried three different locations in Lincoln Nebraska they always just wanted to sell us chemicals which was not needed for our salt pool. We live in a town that is 45 miles from Lincoln Nebraska.
Bell pool is an additional 40 mile drive for us but we have found that in the savings of not having to buy the incorrect chemicals that were constantly being told to buy from the locations in Lincoln is still a cost savings for us to go to Belle pool in Gretna Nebraska.
