False Start

I have no idea why Hydropool have sent me a link to comment on how they've done with my order when it hasn't even been delivered yet - bit premature Hydropool!

Great hot tub but plagued by problems from day 1

The hot tub itself is absolutely wonderful but sadly we’ve had constant issues with ours throughout our six months of ownership.
The lighting failed very quickly (still awaiting a new lighting unit), one of the corner panels falls off repeatedly despite our lovely dealership giving us endless replacement clips, and now one of the pumps has now developed a leak.
We use the tub daily (2 people twice a day) and maintain it meticulously according to Hydropool’s guidelines. After paying the guts of £16,000, it’s very disappointing. This is meant to be a quality brand.

Hello Kerry,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your purchase of chemicals from our online store and are truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve experienced with your hot tub.

After checking our customer database, it appears that your hot tub was purchased through another authorised Hydropool dealer. For this reason, we would kindly recommend reaching out to them directly to arrange a service visit. Each dealership is responsible for managing their own after-sales service and warranty support, and they’ll be best placed to assist you promptly and effectively.

We completely understand your frustration, especially given your investment and the care you’ve clearly taken in maintaining your hot tub. Hydropool is committed to delivering high-quality, reliable products, and we regret that your experience so far hasn’t reflected that.

If there’s anything we can do to assist you from our side, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Warm regards,
Hydropool Customer Care Team

Hello Malcolm,
Thank you for your review and for your positive comments about the quick delivery.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the packaging. The size of the parcel is determined by our fulfillment centre, and while we understand it may seem excessive for a small part, it’s often based on what’s available at the time and what ensures safe transit through the courier network.

That said, we’re always reviewing our processes and will certainly pass your comments along to the team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and thank you again for your order.

Hello John,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how frustrating it is to receive a damaged item and then have to wait for resolution. Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay.

Regarding your mention of being asked where the part was purchased: when you logged your case, that detail wasn’t clear, and we needed to confirm it to ensure we were handling your request correctly and through the right channel. We're sorry if this added to your frustration — it was not our intention.

We value your business and are actively working to resolve your case. If there's anything further we can do, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wrong filter, wrong address

Emailed hydropool as I have an old model to ask for correct filter. Signposted to filter, but when it arrived ,it was the wrong one. No returns label in package, so had to contact them again ,to get that sent out. Returns label sent to wrong address . If I didn’t have a hydropool swimspa I would not use again, but feel I am stuck.

We aim to provide accurate support and efficient service, and it's clear we fell short in this instance — especially with the incorrect returns label. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

We genuinely appreciate your continued support as a Hydropool swim spa owner, and we’d like the opportunity to make this right. If there’s anything still outstanding or if you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at customercare.co.uk.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that our staff member was helpful in advising you on the correct filter.

To clarify, our online store is not directly affiliated with Hydropool Sussex, but rather serves as a central platform for all Hydropool dealers. We appreciate you highlighting the confusion regarding the Felbridge showroom — it has indeed relocated to Findon near Worthing, and we’ve updated the website to reflect this more clearly.

AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE!

AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE!!
We spent £40,000 on a training pool which came with broken parts we then had to wait to be repaired. We finally got it up and running and then had a problem with the computer screen. We closed the pool down and re opened it last week using the recommended company. Paid £300 for them to clean it to get it up and running and when turned on the screen is showing yet another fault. Called Hydropool last week and finally after 19 calls spoke with a human but unfortunately she hasn’t replied to me. Called again today 6 calls no one answers the phone.
Absolutely disgusting service for such a high end item.

JUST TO CLARIFY REGARDING HYDROPOOL response. We haven’t had a service by a 3rd party we had a clean. We have yet another electrical fault with the screen and we can’t utilise the pool at all.!
Your lovely staff member china has just called me and is trying to resolve the issue but we’re still no closer to get an engineer booked.
Since you installed the hydropool we’ve had at least 5 electrical faults with different parts in 2.5 years which started from day 1! This is not excusable for a high end product! Every time we want to use it something else breaks and we have to wait for parts and fitting.

Hello Cheryl,
Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about the frustrations you've experienced.

We’d like to clarify that the recent service on your pool was carried out by a third-party company, not by Hydropool UK. As such, any issues arising from that service—including the current fault—will need to be taken up directly with the company that performed the work. However, we're happy to support where we can by liaising with them if needed.

Regarding your difficulty reaching us by phone, we apologise for the inconvenience this has caused. To ensure your concerns are dealt with promptly, we always advise customers to complete a claims request via our online store. This goes directly to our Aftersales Department and is typically actioned immediately.

We understand how disappointing this experience has been, especially with such a significant investment, and we remain committed to resolving the matter as quickly as possible.

Please don’t hesitate to submit a claims request or email us directly so we can assist further.

Regards

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. Comprehensive information provided. Communication was good, to explain the short delay in delivery (due to the late arrival of the ship into its UK port), and we were compensated for this with a useful credit against pool chemicals. The spa pool is wonderful and we're really glad we made the investment.

When looking into buying a hotub I called into the store for advise and information.
Dan was really helpful took the time to advise me with no ‘hard sell’
After this I knew what I wanted so a couple of months later once I was about ready to order one Dan happened to have a follow up call which I called over the next day and ordered a tub.
Even though I didn’t deal with Dan I sorted my order with Will I believe..
the whole experience was super easy and helpful from talking about an item to delivery and follow up making sure I was happy.
Definitely recommend Hydropool

Chyna at Hydropool UK is a God-send

Chyna at Hydropool UK is a God-send. After having had an unfortunate experience with a Hydropool dealer who went out of business and could no longer service my warranty, Chyna stepped up to the plate and did an incredible job rallying the troops to get me everything I needed such that the amazing team of Dermot and Andy on the day were prepared to tackle each issue in an efficient fashion, with the necessary replacement part to hand. It is service like this that earns Hydropool the goodwill of current and future customers. I really appreciate it.
