We have been with Pool Panthers for just over a year now and our pool and spa have never been better. The water is always balanced and looks crystal clear. We have had problems in the past with our pool water and found it hard to keep it in tip top condition for our kids to swim in. With Pool Panthers that has taken all those problems away. No longer do we have to worry about whether our water will stay clear for the summer, we know it will as long as we are with Pool Panthers and do what they suggest. Having the chemicals already measured out and ready to put into the pools with instructions is worth its weight in gold. Thank you Pool Panthers, you have taken one bit of stress out of our lives.
