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.

Great until installation

Great until installation, absolutely ZERO after sales. Been trying to get advice regarding new fingers for 4 months now. No phone number and no response to email.

Exceptional Service: A Truly Impressive Experience with Hydro Pool Hot Tubs

I recently purchased a hot tub from Hydro Pool Hot Tubs, and I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding customer service I received throughout the entire process.

Initially, I was leaning towards purchasing a different system. However, the advisor (Dan) took considerable time to thoroughly explain the pros and cons of the Hydro Pool models I was considering compared to my original choice. His knowledge was comprehensive and his approach was refreshingly unbiased – he genuinely helped me understand which option best suited my needs.

Inspired by Dan's expertise, I visited the showroom. There, I was duly given an extended, hands-on demonstration of the Hydro Pool hot tub. Dan was excellent – patient, informative, and clearly passionate about the product. His professionalism and depth of knowledge were key factors in my decision to purchase.

Since taking delivery, Dan arranged a detailed Zoom call, walking me through the mechanics and operation of the tub with incredible detail. This personalized support ensured I felt completely confident using my new investment.

Overall: Hydro Pool Hot Tubs delivers a truly premium service experience. From Dan's consultative sales approach to Dan's meticulous aftercare, every interaction was marked by expertise, patience, and a genuine desire to ensure customer satisfaction. Highly recommended!

Help from John - Hydropool Portsmouth

John from Hydropool Portsmouth has helped me no end today. I have had no luck with getting any support from the Hydropool Customer Service team who have failed to get back to me on numerous occasions. Even though I did not buy my hot tub through John, he took a great deal of time talking me through what I have to do to rebalance my water and drain / refill my hot tub. None of which I got from Hydropool. I would definitely recommend people to buy their hot tubs through John in Portsmouth.
