Christman Pool is the best pool company I've ever worked with. The staff have lots of expertise, are super responsive, and easy to work with. Apart from the weekly service, they did an amazing job refurbishing our pool and adding stairs and lighting. This is a top notch company all around.

Another business that blames their ineptitude on "people not wanting to work." Chemicals are 400-500% of (expensive) retail. Given this is a pool company in southern Maine, I always wondered how they made money. Once I started doing everything myself, I understood. It's not magic, just economy of scale: THEY CUT CORNERS. Just do it yourself. Takes 10 minutes a week, it will be done right, you'll save *thousands* of dollars every summer.

This year I became responsible for 3 pools and 3 spas. I was pretty much a fish out of water knowing not too much about the equipment we have. Alicia at Christman helped me every step of the way. She was there for me for every question and supply needs. Pretty much held my hand (from 6' away) throughout the season. I was soooo grateful to have Christman as my pool people. I highly recommend them to anyone. Thank You Alicia and Christman.
