“They have awesome customer staff and Mario and his guys always get the job done!”
Sophie
“This place is excellent! I have an early and late work schedule so I had Mario and Kate help me over the phone and I sent someone to pickup all my stuff. Everything worked and was correct. Their knowledge was incredible helpful. Not to mention they decided to teach me how to maintain my hot tub on my own, instead of suggesting to have them come out and do it for a fee. Excellent customer service. I will now be doing ALL of my business with them. Thank you”
Dustin K.

“I have been doing business with Central Iowa Pool since 2005. I would never go any other place for my spas and/or my spa chemicals and accessories. I have always received "top-notched" service and response. We received great service from John when he owned the company and now with Mario. I think you all are awesome!”
