Thank you for your feedback—we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand your concern regarding the cost of filters. While they may appear simple in design, they are made with specialised materials designed for durability, effective filtration, and optimal performance in hot tub/swim spa environments, and with regular cleaning should give you many months of use. If you have any questions or need help choosing the most cost-effective maintenance options, we’re here to help.

(Would give 0 if possible)

(Would give 0 if possible)

Absolutely terrible experience. If I could give zero stars, I would. This retailer operates with zero reliability, questionable morals, and a blatant greed-driven attitude.

After a wet test of the self-cleaning 579 model on 1st, March, 2025, I offered £10,000, which Adrian Danson (the owner) initially refused. Two weeks later, he came back agreeing to that price and pressured me to pay a deposit immediately, even going so far as to ignore my questions unless I committed.

Once I was ready to pay—after nearly completing the outbuilding meant to house the jacuzzi—he broke his word and suddenly increased the price to £11,285 , despite previously assuring me there would be no hidden fees. This is not just bad service—it’s dishonest and manipulative.

I would never, ever recommend this company to anyone. Save yourself the stress and find a business that actually honors its word and treats customers with respect.

I have all evidence if needed to present.

Hello Selina,

Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience, but we believe there may have been a misunderstanding.
Hydropool Hampshire is not affiliated with Adrian Danson or the dealership you have described. Based on the details provided, it appears that your interaction was with a different Hydropool retailer.
We take customer service and integrity very seriously at Hydropool Hampshire, and we strive to provide clear, honest communication with every customer.
If you have any further concerns or would like to clarify this matter directly with us, we would be happy to speak with you.
Kind regards

The right choice

Excellent service throughout the entire process. John at Hydropool Portsmouth listened to our needs and budget, and suggested the perfect Spa for us. Lead time was short which was all planned and arranged by Scott. The installation went well and on time, the team who installed were very professional and knowledgeable. A follow up call later by Scott to ensure all went well was appreciated. Now here, the quality of the Spa and its performance ensures we made the right decision by buying a Hydropool spa.

Hello Graham,
Thank you for your feedback—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you found the ordering process easy to navigate!

Regarding the postage charge, we understand your concern. We do offer free delivery for orders over a certain amount, but unfortunately, smaller orders like this one don’t meet the minimum threshold. This helps us cover handling and postage costs, even for lightweight items.

That said, we’re always reviewing our policies and appreciate input like yours—it helps us improve.

5 star service, genuinely happy 😊

We attended the Southampton boat show in 2023 where we got to see the spas in action and asked any questions, staff were super helpful. Then attended again in 2024 where we dealt with Ollie who was fantastic at going through the spa with us. We paid a deposit and took delivery in 2025. Scott Wiggins kept in touch via email answered any questions and guided us through what would happen. On delivery day we had Simon and Adam arrive super friendly and respectful of our home. Set up went really well, within 3 hours. Then to finish off a phonecall from Scott to confirm all went well. Customer service is brilliant which running my own company I know is super important. I am really happy with the service received and our 679 platinum hydro pool spa ⭐

Hello Linzi,
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! It’s fantastic to hear that your experience with us—from the Southampton Boat Show to delivery day—was such a positive one.

We’re delighted that Ollie was able to guide you through the tub selection in 2024 and that Scott kept you well-informed throughout the process. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Simon and Adam as well—they’ll be thrilled to hear that their professionalism made a great impression on delivery day.

Customer service is something we take immense pride in, so it means a lot coming from someone who runs their own company. We’re so pleased you’re happy with your hot tub and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Wishing you many relaxing moments in your new tub!

Warm regards,

Top-notch customer care and a fantastic engineer

We had a few minor issues with our Hydropool product, but the customer service we received was outstanding. Chyna, our customer service contact, was incredibly professional—she took our concerns seriously and made sure everything was addressed promptly. She also arranged for an engineer visit, and Andy, the engineer who came out, was excellent. Not only did he resolve the issues efficiently, but he also took the time to explain everything clearly. Top-notch customer service and a fantastic engineer—very impressed!
