Hi guys, this is Ayla and welcome to Fist Consumer Channel. It's summer time and the pool season is
0:07
in a full swing. If you haven't got your own pool yet, it's about time to get one. There are dozens
0:13
of companies that both sell and install pools. In this video, we'll focus on the pool brands that
0:19
raise concerns among consumers. Why is this important? When buying from an unreliable company
0:24
you're not just risked betraying your hopes for a pool party, but you're also risking your dollars

Blue World Pools has the big 15x24 Econoline pool for not $399, not even $349
0:52
If you call now, that pool can be yours for only $2.99
0:56
Bluebird Pools offer pools in different price categories. From an oval model for as low as $299 to large-sized pools for the price over $10,000
1:07
On their website, they also state that you will get free installation in a matter of days
1:11
In-ground pool installation can take months, and the necessary excavation can uncover underground plumbing, wiring, tree roots, and other hidden complications
1:20
An above ground pool can be installed in a matter of days
1:24
Sounds promising, doesn't it? What could be worse than being persuaded to buy a pool for summer and not get it closer
1:29
to winter? But Blue World Pools won't fail yet. At least customer reviews on their website say so
1:35
I had wanted a pool for such a long time but was never able to afford one
1:39
Then I saw Blue World Pools on TV and decided to give them a call
1:43
I'm so glad that I did. I love my pool. We would like to thank Blue World Pools for making our summer the most enjoyable
1:50
It is a decision we are glad to have made. Blue World Pools were able to bring vacations to our home
1:56
My kids really enjoyed the pool and having pool parties. I am so glad we were able to finally get a pool
2:02
Thanks Blue World Pools! Wow, that's nice! I almost hit the button to place an order for my own small pool to be a star today Too bad they most likely won do it Anyways let see what the reviewers on our website report Our users had given almost 1 out of 5 stars for the Blue World pool quality
2:22
The lack of stars is complemented with a total claimed loss of nearly $720,000
2:30
In her review, Depsy from Texas says that Blue World Pools pulled hard credit inquiries
2:35
on both mine and my husband's credit for it before we even got a quote. They tried to charge
2:40
32,000 for an evolved grant pool replacement. She finished her post alerting consumers
2:46
don't waste your time with these people, they will rip you off and hurt your credit
2:50
Another reviewer, Anna, shares her frustrated experience saying Once installation was completed, they made me sign another contract which tripled the cost
2:59
We noticed there was pit holes in the bottom. They will not rectify the situation and expect
3:03
me to pay them $46,000. The user's recommendation is do not do business with this company. Another
3:11
sad story happened to Raymond from Louisiana who reflects on his experience as the worst purchase
3:16
ever made in his life. He's with us today so let's hear what he has to say. You know they
3:22
they advertise this pool for, I think, $2.99 or $3.99, whatever it is. And so it was the summer
3:31
I think it was in 2013 or something. And, you know, my boys wanted to swim. And I said, well
3:39
let's get a pool. So we get the salesman out here and he's, you know, high pressure guy. And
3:46
and uh he's yeah we can sell you this cheap pool but here's a good pool and this is what you really
3:53
want and then it goes way up to thousands of dollars in price so of course he's got my boys
4:01
come on daddy let's get the good pool let's get the good pool and i'm all excited so okay we talk
4:08
about the better pool then he comes up with this ironizer thing well it's a pool ironizer so you
4:15
don't have to use any chemicals in it all you had to do is pour three bottles
4:21
of bleach in it every week that it and I going like wow that great I don have to deal with pool chemicals So that really sold me So then he leaves We do a deal for the middle pool
4:38
So then I get a call from the finance department a couple of days later. Well, your credit is so
4:43
good, you could actually get the bigger pool for the same price, she says. So you want the big pool
4:50
or the medium pool for the same price. I'm going like, well, give me the big pool
4:55
You're going to take the big one for the same price. So it took, I guess, at least a month before
5:04
You know, I kept calling. Are they coming? Are they coming? Are they supposed to come and install it
5:07
Are they coming? Are they coming? They finally get here. I guess it was in August, I think
5:13
The summer was almost over by the time I got the pool. My youngest son was going back to school
5:20
So we finally get the pool and they made a mess putting it in
5:27
They broke my sidewalk. They got their little tractor stuck in the mud
5:33
I had to go get some bricks and pile it under there. And we had to get on the bucket to get it out of the mud
5:40
So, I mean, it was just a total mess. They brought the sand in a trailer that wasn't a solid trailer
5:49
it had it was planks so the sand just poured out the whole time he came here so we lost a ton of
5:55
sand and to top it all off you need to put a lot of chemicals in this pool there's no such thing as
6:03
just using the clorox once a week you got to get the alkaline right the ph right the um the uh
6:12
calcium right i mean there's a whole list of chemicals that we got to put in there and now
6:18
we got to use a stabilizer and this is all in addition to the bleach once a week which is only
6:25
to get the copper right the ionizer gets the copper right according to this so it was all
6:32
lies from start to finish and then I paid on the thing for years and so I call him up I said man what the payoff on this thing Oh it
6:45
I went, what? I've been paying on this thing for years. Well, it's 15.9% simple interest
6:52
You can figure it yourself. I said, I'm going to figure it myself. I'm getting out of this. So I went and made a personal loan for, I don't know, what was it
7:00
A whole lot less than that and paid them off. So, I mean, I'm still paying on the personal loan
7:07
The pool's still up. It got a hole in it. I called him up
7:12
I said, yeah, it has a hole in the liner. I'd like to replace it
7:16
Okay, yeah, you're responsible for 80% of the cost. So at 80%
7:21
What happened to this lifetime guarantee? Well, it goes down as the years pass
7:27
I guess it would be all the dishonesty, because if they would have been up front in the first
7:33
place they wouldn't have got my my business and they know that and that's why they have to be
7:38
dishonest so everything is alive from the salesman to the finance department to the installer the
7:46
installer was probably the most truthful one but you know they kept saying oh yeah he's coming out
7:52
next week he's coming out tomorrow but they kept putting that off because and they knew he wasn't
7:58
coming out but they just kept you know trying to quiet me down but um it's all a dishonesty and
8:05
and uh you know i guess if it wasn't for that i wouldn't be so angry but i told i tell my wife
8:13
almost every day that this is the worst thing i've ever bought in my life and i'm still paying for it
8:20
raymond's issue with the company has been going on for three years and ended with the sale of the
8:26
pool. On our website he wrote, I sold a 15,000 pool for $800, a great nightmare that I'm
8:32
so glad to get rid of. Don't buy a blueberry pool. What was your experience with the blueberry pools? Please, share in comments
8:41
And that's all for today. Thanks for watching this video, have a good day and remember
8:45
there's no time to be pissed, it's time to be hurt
