M1/5

Technician came out to diagnose a pool heater failure and left the pool in service mode, meaning the system was not returned to normal operation after the visit. That alone is a basic professionalism failure.

Worse, the diagnosis itself was wrong. Rather than identifying the actual failed component, the technician attributed the problem to rodent contamination and submitted that finding to my home warranty company as the cause of failure. To make matters worse, the report was not submitted on time, further delaying the claims process. The warranty claim was denied on that basis. I am now disputing the denial because the diagnosis does not hold up. The presence of rodents near equipment does not establish that rodents caused a mechanical breakdown, and a competent technician should know the difference.

I would not use this company again and would not recommend them to anyone relying on their report for a warranty or insurance claim.

We had a very frustrating experience with Platinum Pool Care Inc., specifically with the technician Paul.
They initially came out through our home warranty and repaired our pool pump. At the time of service, we were told we would be covered for 30 days if any issues came up. Unfortunately, when we needed follow-up service, they completely stopped responding.
We called multiple times requesting a return visit and also asked for a receipt of the work that was performed. Despite repeated attempts to reach them, we received no response—no callbacks, no follow-up, nothing.
It’s extremely disappointing to be told you’re covered and then not be able to get anyone on the phone when you actually need help. Lack of communication and failure to stand behind their service is a major concern.
I would not recommend based on this experience.

Consider this a 0 star review. We were sent to Platinum Pool Care by our home warranty company for a pool/spa heater repair. They were communicative to set up the initial evaluation, did no testing, and then stated they would order a part and get back to use to schedule the repair.

I followed up with them 1-2 times a week for the next 6 weeks asking for an ETA on the part. I asked repeatedly for an ETA or just to know what part they ordered or from where and if it was on indefinite backorder- but receive no information. They did not answer any phone calls, answered maybe every 4th text or so and sent the same answer to me every time which was a variation of "I'll look into that for you" or "It has been ordered" no matter what I asked for.

We managed to get the warranty company to cancel the work with them and let us pick our own vendor for the claim who has already ordered and received the part it under a week, so I'm not convinced they had ever ordered it in the first place.

PPC was contracted by AHC (home warranty provider) to come evaluate my hot tub heater for repair. Unfortunately the part needed for repair was not covered. I’ve been reaching out to PPC for a cash quote or recommendation but they have not returned any calls or texts pretty sure the whole thing is a scam. Both AHC AND PLATINUM POOL CARE.

Jenna5/5

This company came out of April 2nd for our pool heater. They were picked by our home warranty company. The technician replaced a part on the spot and had our heater working within 30 minutes. The tech was on time and friendly and we are very happy with the service we received.

Jamie5/5

We were directed to platinum Pool Care by our home warranty. They were excellent. They responded to our calls and messages promptly. The service technician Paul was courteous and responsive. They typically prefer to respond by text message which is fine by me but other people may have difficulty with that. They were very upfront about the costs and the problems. We needed a new pool pump. In some of the negative reviews I see, individuals were upset about the amount of coverage for the repairs from home warranty companies. I have worked with home warranty companies for a long time and know what to expect. For pool equipment, they oftentimes do not provide full replacement value so expenses are present but this is not the fault of platinum pool care. Overall I was extremely satisfied with their services and would use them again.

Lyndsey1/5

the told my warranty company that the issue is Maintance and per the manufactory it has nothing to do with Maintance, so know it is not covered

Serena1/5

What a scam! This company committed fraud with the Home Warranty company and what these two companies conspired to do should be illegal. The tech that came out to inspect our pool/spa heater seemed decent and told us he just needed approval to replace the Thermal Regulator. However, 2 days later I received a notification from the Home Warranty company denying my claim because that Platinum Pool Care reported I had a missing "Chemical Check Valve" and Thermal Regulator which are "required by California state regulations"--see pictures for evidence. There is literally no such thing as a "Chemical Check Valve" and the Thermal Regulator is what was broken and needed to be replaced. I asked for the California state regulation that shows the "Chemical Check Valve" is required, however, neither company could provide this information and I was actually told to look it up on the internet. I really can't make up how incompetent and dishonest this company is! Don't even waste your time if this is the company your Home Warranty assigns to your claim, just go ahead and pick ANY other company to fix your poo/spa issue.

Five stars! Platinum Pool came when they said they would, fixed the pool heater quickly. Paul was very professional and friendly.
