“Family Pool Fun and Jay Backer are a complete scam, I purchased a pool on May 5th or 6th and just received an email on 7/5/2020 saying that my order was cancelled followed by another email 2 hours later saying that it was expected to ship between 7/14/2020 and 7/24/2020. I was confused at this point so on Monday I finally reached someone by facebook messenger and was told at that time that it was cancelled due to damage. Now I have had nothing but trouble getting responses from this company for the entire 2 months of dealing with them and the only time that I get a quick response if facebook messenger. Do Not Buy From This Company”

“Not only was the pool of very poor quality and didn't match the description they didn't even send all the parts. I had paid someone to install the pool and had to continue with the installation but also had to go to the pool store to buy parts that they were supposed to have shipped. Their customer service is not only bad but dishonest and frustrating. I did everything they asked of me and in the end they just stopped returning my emails and answering the phone. Do not trust this company!”

“I purchased a pool over a month ago. The one and only time you will hear from them is two days after they take your money. They refuse to answer the phone or respond to emails. Jay is a liar who only sales items he doesn't have in inventory. My pool is on back order and if you go on the website, even a month later, the pool says "in stock" and 2 week delivery. Don't be fooled by Jay. Please for own sanity and health shop elsewhere.”

“DONT DO IT. Its a nightmare. They will tell you "about two weeks" and it will take MONTHS to get what you ordered. They never answer your calls or emails. They will give you the run around. The directions are HORRIBLE. I have spent so much time and cried so many tears over this experience. FIND A DIFFERENT COMPANY. DO NOT buy from them.”

“I wish I had done online research about this company. There are so many negative reviews. Just google familyPoolFun to find out. They are not a member of Better Business Bureau. There are a five stars reviews I have no doubt were written by the company people. They should be prosecuted for fraud and theft. They sent out a wrong pool cover and charged me a second one without refunding me the first one. They said they would send me a shipping label that never came.”

“Jay was very helpful in the ordering process. Have never had a safety cover before, but he guided me thru the process. I ended up ordering wrong cover, but they made it right and sent me the right one. I just paid return shipping. Great experience and will send any business I can their way.”

“Poor 3% Warning! Stay the hell away from these guys. Before I ordered a pool pump on Friday, Nov. 29, I called to make sure that it was in stock, and I hoped that it could be shipped that day. I was ok with the promised Monday shipping. I was shocked and bewildered when I got a call late Tuesday afternoon wanting to verify my address, which was exactly as ordered. If that really was an issue, I should have been called Monday before the promised shipping. I was concerned about their stalling tactics, and called them Wednesday morning, and again Wednesday afternoon, wanting to know when and if it would ever be shipped. Members of staff told that only Jay could answer that question, and that he'd call me. Of course, he never did, and I cancelled the order that night. After waiting four more days trying to get my $475 refund, I finally had to get it through my credit card company. Next time I order from an unfamiliar company, I'm reading the bad reviews. I would have seen all the complaints to the Better Business Bureau, Ripoff Reports and Trustpilot. I would have known that their "address verification call" is commonly used for stalling. I'm surprised that Jay can get his employees to buy into his crookedness. Jay has proven once again that "one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel."”

“Purchased a pool heater and had the audacity to call and ask if it was actually in stock to plan accordingly for install. Was told someone would call me in 30 mins. I waited and called back 3 hours later and told they were busy and I would be called by the end of the day. I called 3.5 hours later at the end of the business day and was told they drop ship so they don't actually carry it but Jay will call you tomorrow and verify. I get a call this morning saying yes, it can be shipped immediately but there will also be a new "access charge of $186". What??? Canceled. Wasted 24 hours I could have had a real company ship the pool heater. Don't waste your time with this unreliable unpredictable company.”

“SECOND UPDATE: We returned the chlorinator that they mistakenly sent, and they will not refund the shipping portion. It was their mistake, they should refund the shipping, too. Jay (the owner), promised they would refund the shipping, too, but two weeks later, still no refund. What an awful, scam of a company, and the rudest, smoke-rasp-voiced customer service people ever. They should be shutdown and prosecuted. UPDATE: We received the replacement part, and it was the same one we received the first time! Unbelievable! This company is THE WORST company. Again, DO NOT patronize this awful business. Service after the sale is definitely not this company's motto. Once they have your money, forget about Customer Service. After sending the wrong part, my wife has called four times, and I have called twice, and the salesman (Jay) has never returned any of our phone calls. This seems to be a trend with this company, judging from the other online reviews I have read. If not for the pool installer's endorsement, I would never have used this company. There are too many online pool supply pages to waste your time on this one. Stay as far away from this company as you can!”
