Aqua-Star Pools carries a 4.3-star average on Google from 12 ratings. A 2025 customer wrote that they had used Aqua-Star Pools for 25 years for pool opening, closing and maintenance, and called them responsive in a timely manner when a problem came up. A 2022 customer said that after switching to the full service plan, the pool was open earlier in the year, got clear faster and stayed clear and clean. A 2025 customer described Jake and his team as responsive, knowledgeable and honest, and recommended them for maintenance, repairs and seasonal items. A 2024 customer said they hired Aqua Star Pools to service the pool after a frustrating experience with another company, and called the crew friendly and professional. A 2025 customer who held an 'all inclusive' contract for several years said the weekly brushing rarely happened, and usually only after they complained. That 2025 customer wrote that other pool companies later showed the pH was far from perfect, even though the field techs' weekly reports had listed it where it should be, and that the owner called only after the service was cancelled. A 2024 customer said the men on the jobsite used loud curse words and were constantly yelling at one another.
If you care about your pool, use someone else! I used Acqua Star for several years as an 'all inclusive' contract client. With this service, they would open and close the pool, as well as treat it chemically and vacuum it weekly. Part of the service was also supposed to be a weekly brushing which is recommended for gunite pools; however, this rarely happened, and usually only after I complained. The first year after my in-ground pool installation, the plaster developed calcium scaling which we have battled ever since. Acqua Star always maintained that it was the plaster, and my (very reputable) pool installer insisted it was improper pH. The field techs who came out weekly would always leave a copy of the pH report which indicated it was exactly where it should be. After years of being unhappy with their service, I finally called other pool companies who came out and showed me that the pH was far from perfect and indicated that the tech's probably just wrote whatever they wanted in the pH box. I tried to reach their management and left several messages, but was told that the owner was too busy and would get back to me. Only after I cancelled the service, did I get a call from the owner who seemed to care less after I told him I was unhappy with their service for some time - I believe his exact response was "OK". I will never be able to get rid of the calcium scaling without having the pool resurfaced. If you care about your investment, use someone else - learn from my mistake.
Jake and his team at Aqua - Star have been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, honest and professional. An absolute breath of fresh air in this space. I highly recommend for maintenance, repairs and seasonal items as well.
Great company to work with. Jake, Paul and their crew are professional and courteous. They are also great to communicate with. I always get my concerns promptly answered. Highly recommend them.
We have used Aqua-Star Pools for 25 years and they are fantastic for pool opening, closing , and maintenance. If you have a problem, they are incredibly responsive in a timely manner. Great technicians who work hard and are managed well!
I hired Aqua Star Pools to service my pool after a very frustrating experience with another company. Aqua Star is amazing, the crew is friendly and professional. Totally opposite of what I had before. Highly recommend.
