    Business Response

    Date: 07/10/2025

    Dear BBB Representative,

    Thank you for reaching out regarding the complaint filed by ************************* understand the concern and regret any frustration this situation has caused. Mr. ******* order was placed in April 03, 2025, and he first contacted our team in June 11, 2025, more than 60 days after the purchase. As per our stated ****** policy, we accept returns or offer refunds within 30 days of delivery. This policy is clearly listed on our ****** product pages and in our customer communications.

    As clearly stated at the time of purchase, we honor a 30-day return and refund policy. For concerns beyond that period, particularly involving performance or product defects, we redirect customers to the manufacturer, Hayward, as per standard procedure for warranty-related issues.

    Our **************** Representatives responded promptly and professionally to Mr. ******* concerns, providing him with ******** contact details and advising that warranty support must be handled directly by the manufacturer. We are an authorized dealer and, as such, do not have the authority to evaluate or approve warranty claims on behalf of *******.

    While we take pride in the quality of our products and customer service, we also must adhere to clearly communicated policies to ensure fairness and consistency for all customers.

    At this time, the order does not qualify for a refund or replacement through our store due to the time elapsed. That said, were happy to reopen the case if Mr. ****** can provide documentation from the manufacturer regarding the defect or warranty refusal, and well gladly review for any possible goodwill accommodations.

    We remain committed to offering support within our defined scope and continue to encourage the customer to work directly with ******* for further assistance.

    Sincerely,
    Iyah Rigodon
    Customer Support Supervisor

    I purchased a Puri Tech 21' x 52" Round Hollywood above ground pool on June 3, 2025. Order # ***-7175463-9797806. I purchased it on ****** and used Affirm during the checkout process. R& L Carriers were the ones that were delivering it. It showed delivered on our amazon account, but it wasnt actually delivered to us. We called R&L Carriers and they stated that they could not get ahold of us to schedule the delivery so it was shipped back to ****. And thats why it says delivered. We have contacted ****** and the Backyard and Pool Superstore and we are not receiving any help cancelling this order. Affirm still wants to charge me for something i never received and I cant get answers from anyone regarding this matter.

    Dear BBB Representative,

    Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration Mr. Seekings has encountered. Please be assured that the issue has been acknowledged and fully resolved. A full refund has been issued to the customer’s original method of payment, and it should reflect within 3–5 business days, depending on the processing time of their local bank.

    While this situation involved multiple shipping legs, initially to the customer, returned to the carrier terminal, and then back to our warehouse, we understand that the customer ultimately did not receive the item. As such, we've waived all associated fees in good faith, as part of our commitment to customer satisfaction.

    We also regret that Mr. Seekings was unable to speak with us directly by phone. While our primary support channel is email to ensure clear documentation, we recognize that real-time communication is essential in certain situations. We are actively reviewing how we can improve the accessibility and responsiveness of our customer service moving forward.

    It was never our intention to cause any upset. The logistical challenges and shipping costs resulted from delivery coordination issues, which appear to have stemmed from an outdated contact number. Nonetheless, we accept full responsibility for improving our communication process.

    We hope this resolution meets Mr. Seekings’ expectations, and we would be grateful for the opportunity to serve him again in the future.

    Sincerely,
    Iyah Rigodon

    I placed an online order and received it on May *******. One of the titrating chemicals I ordered was not in the box. The second titrating chemical was expired when I specifically asked that the chemicals have at least 6 months of life before expiration. I cannot contact this company by phone nor chat. I sent a request for a replacement and a fulfillment of the missing chemical. I was asked for a photo of the expiration and promptly sent it on May 11. I have been given the run around asking for the order number, which is on the email response from the company and have had nothing but back and forth with no progress. In every email I ask the *** to read the entire email chain but they don't. I was again asked for a photo today May 18. I referred them to the May 11 date on the email chain. I don't know what has happened to this company but I feel like I am getting AI responses with fake CSR names. I have given them until May *************************** I will have the charge reversed for the cost of the outstanding chemical.

    Dear Ms. ******* and the BBB Team,

    Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ******** ******* complaint regarding order AB-119206.

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration experienced by the customer. We value every customer and take all concerns seriously. Here's a summary of what occurred and the actions weve taken:

    Order ****************start="597" data-end="600"> The order included two items:
    ******* CH1 (7042-G) initially missing but later delivered.
    ******* CH2 (7041-G) delivered, but expired in April 2025, despite the customers request for products with at least a 6-month shelf life.

    Resolution Actions:
    The missing CH1 item was shipped separately and successfully delivered on May 23, 2025 (Tracking No. 92001909901215097100006346).
    A photo of the expired CH2 was submitted by the customer on May 11.
    Due to internal oversight, our team mistakenly requested the photo again, causing unnecessary back-and-forth. We acknowledge and sincerely regret this miscommunication.

    Final Resolution:
    As of today, we have processed a refund in the amount of $11.00 to cover the replacement for the expired CH2 item.
    A confirmation of this refund has been sent to the customer.

    We believe this resolution reflects our good faith efforts to address and resolve the concern. We apologize again for the delay and confusion and are reviewing our internal processes to improve communication and response time moving forward.

    We respectfully request this complaint be marked as resolved.

    Please let us know if any further information is needed.

    I was informed today 5-28-25,  that the company could not supply the product that was originally sold to me as all of their product has less than a 6 month expiration date which i had specified when making the purchase and that a refund would be forthcoming. I am waiting for the credit.

    thanks ***

    The Actual refund amount should have been ***** but this is close enough. My experience with Florida workers is that they cannot do math and either round up or down. Just like they cannot read and understand an email and thus asked twice for information already provided. Sad but true. 

     I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

    On Dec 3, 2024, I purchased a Polaris 360 Back Up Value for my pool off of **** thru Backyard Pool Superstore. When it arrived I installed it my sweep but the sweep would not move, rather it would float to the top of the pool. Fortunately I kept my old back up value and when I swapped out the new one with my old one, my Polaris worked fine. Puzzled by this, I ended up opening the brand new valve and it was absolutely HOLLOW inside. It was just the case. I contacted Backyard Pool Superstore via **** and they said it was just the case that they were selling. When re-read the description, it does say "Polaris OEM Back Up Valve Case for 360 Swimming Pool Cleaner ********** ********" but unfortunately their photos show the back up value fully screwed together. These photos were identical to other pool providers who were selling the whole back up value. They should have done two things in my opinion: 1) made sure to clearly identify "THIS IS JUST THE **** AND NOT THE ENTIRE BACK UP VALVE." I showed this advertisement to several people and they all missed that it was just the case. 2) They should have included photos of the case opened up to show the buyer that it's hollow. I explained that I genuinely thought I was purchasing the full working valve and requested a refund. They said because it's been more than 30 days from my purchase, Backyard Pool will not accept my return. The fact that they wouldn't own up to their mistake, and recognize how their advertisement was misleading, and simply accept the return of essentially a brand new unused item that cost $25 is enough for me to NEVER use these guys. It's not the money, it's the principle. I also contacted the manufacturer ******* (actually Fluidra) directly and spoke to a *** there. They said "I would be very careful with this vendor." She didn't say more than that, but I understood exactly what she meant. This was my first and last interaction with Backyard Pool Stupidstore.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/13/2025

    Dear Representative,

    We appreciate the opportunity to address this concern. The item purchased by Mr. **** was correctly listed as a Polaris OEM Back Up Valve Case for the Polaris 360, as clearly stated in the product title and description. While we understand there may have been a misunderstanding, the listing accurately describes the product being sold.

    Upon review of Mr. ***** order, we confirmed that he purchased the back-up valve case only. The internal valve mechanism was not included, as explicitly noted in the product description on our listing: **** Listing.(*************************************)

    Additionally, as outlined in our return policy, we are unable to accept returns beyond the 30-day return window from the date of purchase.

    At Backyard Pool Superstore, we strive for 100% customer satisfaction and continuously work to improve transparency in our product listings. To further clarify our product description, we will review the listing to ensure it remains clear for future customers.

    For your reference, please see the following attached screenshots:

    If you have any further questions or require additional clarification, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your time and consideration in resolving this matter.

    I ordered a Dophin Nautilus CC cleaner. It arrived from them timely. The unit did not work from the first moment it entered the water. I tried to call but their phone service doesn't do in person calls. Downloaded the return label from Amazon and took it to **** *** would not take the 2 boxes as their was only one label. Hence send the Unit itself back. Received confirmation on 8/9/24 around 11:40 AM they received it. Send them an email telling them that they received it. The day I send the unit I send an email asking for a replacement unit and advised them that I could not send the caddy back as I didn't get a second label. Asked for a label or if I should keep the caddy. No response to this question. They asked for the order number which i send them . Days after when I send several more email, they asked for the order number again, I responded referring back to my earlier email and attached a copy of the order again. No response. On 8/9/24 tried the life chat but nobody ever responded. All I want it to get a new properly working Dolphin Nautilus CC unit to clean our pool. How difficult can it be to send us a new one overnight.

    Date: 08/19/2024

    Hi *******,

    This is in reference under Order Number, 113-8289768-9399435, regarding an unsettled replacement in which you have requested 13-days ago. I am so sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations.

    As we have thoroughly checked, a refund has been issued back to you for the returned unit, Dolphin Nautilus CC only, amounting to $640.93 including taxes. dated, August 14, 2024. I understand that these email transcripts can get mixed up, but its clear weve fallen short in this instance and thats unacceptable.

    You may receive the refund back to your original mode of payment within 3-5 business day after the refund has been made. 

    We, Backyard Pool Superstore, strive for 100% customer satisfaction and will make sure to rectify the issue and set this matter straight.

    I have here the link for your reference and immediate perusal.

    I purchased an $800 pool robot as a Father's *** gift, which was delivered on 6/15/2024. I used Amazon, and the seller was "BackyardPoolSuperstore". The device worked for 2 days, then stopped. We had issues calling the seller as all of their phone ACD options sent you to the selling service and hung up on you. We called the manufacturer "Maytronics," and they responded with a list of things to try to get this brand new item working again. Nothing worked. Their response was to RMA it back to them for repair. We contacted Amazon for a refund, and they posted it would be a 50% restocking fee from the "BackYardPoolSuperstore." We had issues working with Amazon, so we ended up calling them directly for their "a-z guarantee." They picked up from a call center in *****. They verified all of our information and then oddly said they would call us back on a "secure line". We dropped and picked up. What sounded like the same person continued the refund process but started to talk to us about fraud on our account. I questioned them, and they said, "I called them," but in fact, they called us back and were now sounding like one of those scams... When I pushed the issue, they quickly hung up, so I believe Amazon has fraud happening right from the call center. We continued to push for help from the seller "BackyardPool Superstore, but they pushed us back to troubleshooting it with the manufacturer. The level of frustration and time spent is building, and I offered to just ship us a new one and we will send this back, but they refused. Anything you can do to help facilitate them shipping us a defective $800 item would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    This company, Backyard Pool Superstore, is a reseller on Amazon. I purchased a Pool controller board through the Amazon website which was sold by Backyard Pool Superstore. The packaged that was delivered to my home from Backyard pool superstore was not what I ordered, instead I was shipped a $12 valve. I have contacted Amazon and the reseller to resolve this and dispatch a replacement. All communication has been through the email chat as Backyard Pool Superstore does not have a number that you can call. I was told by the Backyard Pool Superstore chat that they cannot dispatch another unit as they do not have stock even though their Amazon listing shows 5pcs. I have returned the wrong item back to the Backyard Pool Superstore and contacted my credit card company to stop the payment.

    I purchased a spa pump on October 3, 2023 at 11:36 PM. I received the pump on October 6 and installed it that very day only to find the pump had faulty threads and water outlet the pipe union wouldn't tighten properly on new pump and blew off and in which I immediately informed the seller that day. I started a return on eBay and seller sent me a return label in which I printed and dropped packages off at *** ******** ****** ****************** ON OCTOBER 10TH AT around 2:54 PM, and the tracking shows that Backyard Pool Superstore had received the returned pump on Thursday October 12 at 10:53 AM AT DOCK . Backyard Pool Superstore refuses to give me my full refund and won't reply to any of my messages on **** about such matters, I demand my full refund as I have done everything properly on my behalf ! I was able to repair my old pump by replacing an o ring on the front of the wet end and have no issues with the pipe union threading on like the faulty pump sold by Backyard Pool Superstore !

    Dear Representative,

    This is in reference to the Consumer Complaint of Mr. ***** ******** under Order Number, 17-************ regarding an unsettled refund and a defective item. I am so sorry that it didn't meet your client's expectations.

    As we have thoroughly checked, a return was initiated, with a Return Tracking Number ******************* and a refund has been issued back to his original mode of payment in full through eBay, dated October 17, 2023. We, Backyard Pool Superstore, strive for 100% customer satisfaction, it’s clear we’ve fallen short in this instance – and that’s unacceptable.

    While I understand that these email transcripts can get mixed up, we will be more than happy to send out some screenshots as a reference to set this matter straight.
