I bought a home a little over a year ago, and the in-ground pool at our new home was built by Tarson pools, so I sought out their service. In the beginning they were very helpful and communicated with me appropriately - however this summer was quite different! Earlier in the summer my saltwater chlorinator stopped working after a fairly powerful electrical storm.
At some point they came over and replaced the chlorinator and I found an $800+ charge from them on my credit card. I called and left a message trying to confirm if the charge was for the chlorinator, and how I might prevent this sort of thing from happening again - I never heard back from them about the chlorinator. Two weeks ago I called them and left a message asking if we could schedule my closing for the last week of September or the first week of October.
I never heard back from them, but I came home on Saturday, 9/11, with my children ready to swim, and we found the pool closed with all the parts left in the yard outside my shed. I left my first upset message for a company ever, with my kids crying in the background. I still have not received a response from them. If they do something to make the situation right, I will update this review.

Pretty horrendous customer service. We had a pool heater installed and some of the wiring came out a few months later. We called to have them come fix it, it took six weeks, and then they decided they couldn't fix and left without a word or call. When we called to see if they were coming back, the woman in service was just unnecessarily rude and unhelpful.
There is no need to be that rude to customers. We would have been satisfied with a call and an explanation that this repair was out of their ability. Instead, they left the job without an explanation and then yelled at us when we followed up. Obvious lack of customer service training. We won't be using Tarson again.

Jim Leska, Joanne Tarson, William gets 5+ Ordered a new pool liner last fall. William went above & BEYOND installing it this week! Looks beautiful! Explained the process and did what he said he would. Jim was wonderful in helping me make the decision lad fall answering all my questions. Joanne does a terrific job helping me navigate whenever I call. They DO what they say they'll do in an age when that is no longer common. RELIABLE

When you call nobody answers the recorder ask you to leave your name and number and your call will be returnedI have left multiple messages and never has anyone returned my call. As a long term customer I will not spend any more time trying to contact this location. Your competitors now have a new customer.

I have been in business for fifty year and responding to client's or customer complaints and concerns in a timely manner is paramount. Like everyone else I was given a "line of chatter" when purchasing a pool but when the heating unit malfunctioned no one returned calls, I had to have them bypass the heating unit in order to run the pool and I was told that it could not be repaired but had to be replaced after only the 2nd season!
I keep a cool temperature in the pool and so the heater had been used perhaps four times a season! Apparently, there is only a one year warranty on a $2000.00 heater! A return phone call from a knowledgeable person would have been appreciated. It is time to move on to a more reliable source for pool maintenance and replacement parts.

Put sand filter in at wrong grade, way lower than it was supposed to be. Failed to install uv filter that we paid for and had numerous wrinkles in the liner. Broke sand filter when moving it to proper grade. It is the following year and they still have not fixed all the wrinkles in the liner. They will tell you anything on the phone to get rid of you but then not follow through on it. Worst company by far that we have ever dealt with, please save your money we would gladly go back and pay more to another company if we didn't have to deal with all the headaches we're dealing with constantly

These guys have had some rough reviews elsewhere and some were really good. I always get skeptical about really good reviews because you just don't know if it is an actual customer writing them. Here goes. We purchased a sunrise hot tub from Tarson at the State fair from a Sunrise Spa representative opposed to a Tarson salesman/saleswoman. We had an excellent experience there.
I can't comment to the sales dept. as I did not have experience with them. However, The rep was very knowledgable and it was a really smooth process. They were a little delayed in their delivery and when we called to express that we were unhappy about that, they did everything they could to accommodate us. When the guys came to deliver the hot tub, which was the same day I'm writing this review, I was not expecting them to be as knowledgable and professional as they were. Donny was terrific.
They worked in a torrential downpour without skipping a beat. And on top of it, they had two more tubs to deliver after mine. Very impressed. Thank you. Throughout the whole process They returned all calls and answered all questions I had every step of the way. 4 stars because I believe they could have reached out to us when they realized they weren't going to be able to deliver within 6 weeks as per contract. But in the grand scheme of things we ended up happy.

This Tarson has everything you need for your pool including the big jugs of chlorine that you need when closing the pool for the winter. For years, I purchased all of my supplies there and have never been disappointed. They also have an onsite water tester which will let you know what chemicals you need to watch/add in order to keep your water perfect.
