A Cleaner Pool

Michael did an outstanding job, replacing my pool pump and motor. I called on Wednesday, and he came out Friday morning, even though he was going out of the country that evening. He was prompt, knowledgeable and professional. Also, a very nice guy. He even completed the paperwork to help get a $ 1000 DWP rebate on the newly installed variable speed pump. Very reasonable price too. He cleaned up immaculately, and gave me a thorough tutorial on programming the pump. I highly recommend Michael, the owner of «A Cleaner Pool,» without reservation.

We found Mike on Unilocal and are so happy we did. Mike came by to look at our spa the day after we contacted him and gave us honest feedback and an opinion on the situation. Thanks for helping us!

So My Polaris pool sweep stopped working. It turned into a four day quest for me to trouble shoot the problem. I overhauled the Polaris, changed seals, bearings and gaskets. I thought I covered everything. Nothing worked, so I called A Cleaner Pool and within minutes, Mike called me back. Not only was I impressed with the quick call back, but Mike took the time to listen to everything I said and truly seemed interested in customer care and service. I made an appointment to have him come out and take a look at the problem. Before the appointment, I was able to try a couple of things and I eventually got the Polaris running.
I don’t leave many Unilocal reviews, but I feel compelled to give credit to Mike for his professionalism, prompt call back and good old fashion customer service. Thanks Mike!

Thanks Unilocal!I I needed a pool service for my father’s pool fast. The pool was in bad shape and after I used a pool service a neighbor recommended it was in even worse shape. I turned to Unilocal and my prayers were answered. Let me say all the other 5 star reviews were right! Mike and A Cleaner Pool ARE AMAZING. There is a reason they get five star reviews.
The pool has never looked better. Mike updated my motor filter system to the latest technology and it didn’t cost much at all. When he said I’d get a rebate as well I couldn’t believe it. My pool looks good, it’s going to last longer, and my DWP bills are going to be lower That’s more than I could have asked for. Mike knows what’s going on with all the new equipment and what will do the job for the best price.
OK so here is why five stars. I’m sure there are a lot of people who can clean a pool, but there are not a lot who will go that extra step. He explains everything, leave the place nicer and neater then when he came, and best of all, if you call him with a question or concern. HE CALLS YOU BACK fast. This is so important. Most of us aren’t there when your pool is being cleaned. You need some one you can trust and who will communicate with you what’s going on.

So we’re back at mom’s house while our place is being remodeled — it’s summer, warm and looking forward to hanging in the backyard swimming and using the jacuzzi for sore back soaking after long days at work — I head to yard and — cue psycho music– the pool looks like the black/​green lagoon! WTH!?! And the jacuzzi– forget it– wreck– «Don’t you have a pool guy?» She says yes he comes once a week. «Um, he comes here once a week and does what?» «Well he cleans it.» «With what? telepathy? It’s green and full of leafs.» Ok — he’s fired — another jackass taking advantage of elderly– and now I suck as a son for not paying attention more closely.
I do a Unilocal search and get Mike’s number. I call — it’s a Sunday, following a Saturday July 4^th– left a voicemail as I figure most everyone is spent– «Ring» three minutes later I get a return call from Mike– What??? Ok– check off responsive. Unfortunately my mom’s place is way off his grid but he’s currently getting me someone whom he knows as an A+ company and is getting back to me– but he gave me some quick tips to bring the water back from a sludge– he didn’t have to, but a good dude for offering– not the kind of thing I would have expected. Honest and turned down a two pool addition to his ‘route’ as it was, like I said out of his grid. Not the times to have to turn down business, especially for a sole proprietor, but he was honest enough to do so without making promises of adding me as a customer and not able to perform– refreshing.
So super cool guy, honest, responsive and helpful on many levels– I’m sorry I can’t put him on the payroll– looking forward to his advice and referral. Thanks Mike!- almost makes me want to move closer to his services– hah!
— over a two hour period we exchanged several texts as he gave me several more suggestions and advice on how to get things under control. Even offered to look over photographs of the pool and pool equipment to give me even more help until help arrives! I mean really? Who does that?
This guy!

We moved into what can loosely be referred to as a «fixer upper» with a pool in desperate need of updates and cleaning. Mike came out a couple hours after speaking with him and got to work. Not only did he get the pool clean quickly, he found a very affordable variable speed pump, something our home warranty company couldn’t do. Would definitely recommend and will use again.

I called Michael today to see if he could come by my home and give me a cost to correct pool with algae problem and start month service. To my fortune, he arrive in twenty minutes and began working on the problem. He is very knowledgable and professional. I called his company because of the Unilocal comments and it was definitely the right choice. I now have a new pool service.

I am impressed with Michael’s knowledge of our equipment, on the very first visit. He gave me options to go forward after our prior pool guy left the pool in bad shape. Michael has followed through with everything we talked about. He is very personable, which is important in a service business.

A true professional. Responds quickly to phone, text and email. I wants a pool man who would just take care of everything without the need for me to remind him of the little things. Mike arrived exactly on time, clean truck, clean gear. I have a brand new automation system, I called more than 10 pool guys, no one knew how to operate it. Mike took it upon himself to contact the company and train himself on the unit. I have complete confidence in his work. The pool is perfectly clean every time, he clearly takes pride in his work and makes sure every detail is right. It’s nice to have a complete solution, he repairs all equipment, never needing to call in anyone else. One guy, one contact all perfect.

Mike is AWESOME!!! I can’t believe how Sparkling clean my pool is now!
So with «life» we let our pool become a pond (yes, full of algae!) for quite a while (it was winter), after calling Mike and a few weeks later, my pool is cleaner than it was before it turned (green)! I can’t believe it– me and my family are thoroughly impressed! We are so grateful to Mike and his services and happy to have him to regularly service our pool! I recommend Mike for any size challenges and to service your pool on a regular basis.

Thank Goodness for Mike!!!
I was sent to Malibu to have a house ready to go for a walk through on Wednesday, and noticed that the pool looked HORRIBLE! There was algae along the sides of the pool, the water was muggy it was just BAD!!! Oh keep in mind it’s Tuesday a little before noon, now I’m over here trying to hurry to find a super last minute pool cleaner that’s legit!
After making a few calls and no one being available I came across mike on Unilocal. (THANK GOOODNESS!!!) I gave him a quick little details and sent him 2 photos. Told him the situation and how I needed work done ASAP. He was so accommodating and great he told me what needed to be done, what I could expect and gave me an ETA of 2:15.
When he arrived he went straight to work told me what he was doing and answered all my annoying questions I had (remember I’ve never had to deal with a dirty pool like this before let alone call for a pool guy to come)
Because the pool was in such bad condition he had to come another time to really get the best results. He knew I had the walk through the next day and was so flexible and kind to come the following morning at 8am!
Michael updated me with details and pictures of the pool and the job (because i didn’t stay nor was I at the house)
When I arrived to meet for the walk through. ANOTHER pool man showed up (the weekly pool cleaner guy) he asked «wow what happened? «how did the pool get so cleaned ??» I let him know that I had hired Mike, because I didn’t know and it didn’t look like the pool was getting taken care of. He’s response was «He must of worked on this for a while then! It looks greats I was off for 2 weeks and really been working hard scrubbing trying to get the walls cleared, I came back expecting to put in work for a few hours! This is great! (when ANOTHER pool guy is shocked and surprised at another pool guys work! That ladies and gents just shows and tells you what kind of AMAZING and great work Mike did and does!

What a find!
These comments were right on about A Cleaner pool!- our pool and spa water is completely enjoyable now.
Our pool and equipment were neglected for a while and needed repair.
Come to find out just because the water is clear doesn’t mean it’s clean.
Michael, shared with us the strong chlorine smell from our pool was actually another chemical made from chemical reactions and bad chlorine and the reason we had a green tent to our hair wasn’t from chlorine. He shared with us the process and then went to work.
That day the strong chlorine smell stopped and in a few days he was done and our family was happy!
Thank you, Mike!
If you’re not completely happy with your service person, call Mike!

Mike is reliable, fair, communicates well and if something needs to be fixed he gives me information about repairing and replacment and the prices for each. He does this in a non bias way.
Immediatley after he took over my Pool and Spa it stopped having that strong chlorine smell, burning my eyes and said he did something with the chemicals to stop my hair from getting a green tint and it worked.
My neighbors use Mike, too. I think he’s one of the good ones.
Thank you, Mike!
