Great company to work with. The office staff is always helpful and the gentlemen who come and take care of my pool are just great. My pool is sparkling. They are always accommodating to my requests. I've owned a pool for 40 years and Pacer is by far the best company I've ever used.

Really helpful people there. We just have a little above ground pool, but we've been in a few times. Always got top notch service without making us feel bad for not knowing anything, lol.

Critical: Professionalism More interested in their bottom dollar than excellent customer service. When challenged they will drop you as a customer over resolving the issue. Sign up for biweekly service and come whenever they want. including five days a part. The person cleaning the pool was extremely rude and was more interested in milking the clock.

I have used Pacer over the years, but this year was the worst. They were totally disorganized in setting up the appt. to open my pool. The guys just showed up! I didn't have the DE I use out so they used the wrong DE because they came when I wasn't notified. And their senior guy told me they were managed poorly. Then they had inexperienced person who left a valve open and the pool leaked out for a few days.
They came back and found the problem they created. I asked for a credit for the return trip since there was so much done wrong. They gave me a small credit but now refuse to close my pool because I had an issue. I'm sure they have treated other folks badly. I will definitely never contract with them again.
