Report
A huge thank you to Chris, with Aquarius Pools for his hard work and the dedication he has shown nursing my poor sick pool back to good health. His professionalism and being true to his word has been so refreshing in this day of horrible customer service. I hope Aquarius Pools knows what an awesome representative he is of their business!
