Great company to do business with! I bought a hot tub from Anne and she went above and beyond to answer questions, do a water analysis, provide detailed instructions on maintaining water quality, and even provided all the start up and maintenance chemicals. The service was phenomenal! Service: Water analysis

Have a 12+ year old hot tub, and recently tried out Pool World to help with water testing. They didn't sell this brand but were very helpful, answered lots of questions, and have a very extensive lab set up on site. Very knowledgeable about Hot Tub chemistry. I'm now getting my supplies there based on excellent customer service.
