Over fifteen years I found the most reliable and professional by far was T&D Pool Service (352-748-0044). Their techs are trained, equipped with the proper tools and chemicals, provide service with regularity, and are about the same price as the independent “one man” operations. I tried a smaller service for awhile and quickly went back to T&D when my pool was “skipped”, once because of the flu and another time for a school teacher’s conference. That doesn’t happen with T&D.

WE HAVE USED T&D for 11 years. We had a great tech for about 4 years. The new person is hit and miss. I found that they were not doing the job they said. I observed them supposedly scrubbing and vaccuming, but they had no hose and or brush with them, even though their ticket said it was done. Not happy now. We are here year around and were lucky to see what was going on. Hope new tech is better.

We didn’t want the high cost of other pool companies and were revered by a friend to; Jimmy’s Pools and ask for April.. we always did our own pool before moving here due to cost and low quality care but have been delighted with Johnny’s and highly recommend them! 352-406-7574

T and D also installed and have maintained our pool and hot tub for 15 years and they are GREAT. I wouldn't let anyone else touch them!

Had T&D but too many staff changes, missed cleanings brought to their attention, etc. Signed on with Orca two years ago and are pleased. Now Orca has taken over at least 5 T&D sites in our small neighborhood.

No stains. No issues whatsoever. When we moved to Florida I gave it to my son and he used it in his pool until last year when it finally croaked. My new Maytronic Dolphin has cleaned my pool for the past decade without issue. I swear by these robots. In my opinion, the trick is the pool chemistry which I solve with my LaMotte ColorQ. Check the chems weekly in the warm months and about twice monthly in winter. Pool still looks and feels new!

Default Sparkling Waters

We have T&D and have great service, Micheal is our tech. Had Sparkling Waters but had issues with tech showing up and not doing anything, watched him on camera and called owner who verified with trucks GPS tech was only at house 5 minutes. Additionally tech would bring his small son who would play with our outside stuff, again observed on camera. I would stay away from Sparkling Waters.

We have T & D. They changed our tech since the pandemic and the new techs seem bored. We are looking to change. Will give Orca and Sparkling a call.
