Leslie's Swimming Pool Supply

In the past I have visited Leslie Pools at other locations and have, on those occasions, experienced long waits and short answers from cool if not unfriendly staff. My visit to this Leslie Pool store did not improve my impression. I brought in a sample of tap water, not realizing that the readings would be completely different than from the filled pool. When told this I said "then lets not do it". The reply I got was, "No, you said to do sop I will". I asked "Why do it if it will be no good". 'Answer, "Because you asked me to". It became apparent that the employee was being sarcastic, not in a joking way. I had to tell him not to do the job. He did help me purchase chemicals that I needed to start the pool, however, his demeanor was set to try and make me feel like I should not be taking on such a job. The next day I thought I left one half of the skimmer that I needed to fit a gasket. It was eventually found elsewhere, but I was met by a different employee who found it very bothersome to check the back room and informed me that when things are left by "you people, we usually throw them out". I told her that the employee from yesterday should know that I would be back and she continues, "Ya but most people just leave things so we just throw them out". I went in in a good mood and never provoked such a response from either employee. Very poor public relations.

You can come to this store for your pool needs. You can buy new toys and floatys here, or if you need a new filter or pool cover, you can buy those here too. Lots of things at this store. Prices are average here, but you can find lots of pool supplies.
