Spa worked well for a while

Spa worked well for a while, but try and get a service engineer out or even respond, no chance.
Clearly the service side of Hydropool is not very good, so before buying a Spa, get a good idea of who is going to service and fix it, because IT WILL GO WRONG.

Hob tub leaking after two months

Had a hot tub installed on June 11th. It worked fine at first, but in mid-August it started leaking. Hydropool have no interest in fixing this issue: every dealer just wants to blame someone else or charge for what is clearly a warranty issue. Hydropool don't answer the phone or emails. Absolutely terrible service.

Can’t get a service

We have requested a service on our hot tub on numerous occasions directly with two shops and twice centrally with no response at all. The after care service has been poor

Zero Customer Service

Took almost 2 weeks for the filter to arrive whilst charging me for next day delivery. No responses to the complaints I raised, overall a very poor experience. I would have expected better from Hydropool.

Hydropool East Grinstead- terrible!

This review refers to Hydropool East Grinstead:

reported a fault with my hot tub and one month later - still waiting for an engineer to make contact to discuss the issue. Numerous phone calls to their customer service department with no success.
Possibly the worst customer service department I have ever encountered.
AVOID HYDROPOOL EAST GRINSTEAD AT ALL COSTS.
