Such a great hot tub buying experience! I love supporting local businesses, and this was one of the best experiences. Everyone is very knowledgeable, very kind, helpful and went above and beyond to deliver our hot tub in an extremely timely manner! I would highly recommend Splashtime Pools and Spa's!

Splashtime is a wonderful company! Thank you, Dan and staff for all you did for my parents to meet their needs! Your personal attention to their questions and concerns is what makes Splashtime the number I'll call in the future!

What a AWESOME place. Very knowledgeable employees who took their time to explain and demonstrate all the options of the hot tub we bought. The delivery was flawless and they waited for the tub to fill to start it up and make sure there were no issues. We are so happy we decided to shop and buy local. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

I would not recommend hiring this company to perform a pool inspection if you have any sort of timeframe that you have to abide by per your housing contract. We were strung along by this company for over a week which resulted in us being in violation of our contract and having to scramble to find a different company to perform the inspection. We were upfront when we hired them that we needed this inspection done within a certain timeframe and they assured us that it was a possibility and that we were on the schedule for the following week.
I followed up several times for an update only to be informed well over a week into this process that the staff couldn't get a hold of the manager and that it would be performed sometime in the "future." Such a shame as we had high hopes for a positive experience with this company.
