    I purchased an Intex Easy Set Pool for $543.11 on 7/11/2022. When we set it up, there was a hole in it. We were able to patch it and use it for the summer season. We contacted Intex right away to seek warranty/replacement. They advised us to use our pool for the season, then cut parts off and mail them and they would send a replacement. We did so and received our replacement in Jan 2023. We had concerns about a new one having defects, & that we wouldn't even know until summer. We were assured by cust service rep that if we had a problem, they would resolve it. We set our pool up for this season and this one has worse defects than the previous. Contrary tonwhat we were told, Intex customer service is now stating that we are not eligible for a replacement since the new one is now out of warranty. The expectation was that we would have had to set up and fill our new pool in the middle of winter to determine if there were any defects. I spoke to a cust service manager who claims she is the top of cust service. They are unwilling to resolve my issue. So far, I've spent $543 & have yet to receive an item that is defect free. I'm not asking for a refund. I just want what I paid for; an item that is not defective. Please help?

    Faulty part *****, Titanium Electrode for 16in Sand Filter Combo 2021 Version purchased last year Pool/pump was only used for 2 months last year. tried to reopen poo this May and received Error code 90 Low Flow Tried everything, cleaned everything multiple times and troubleshot everything possible called into service ( What a JOKE) and was told the Titanium cell was bad. Was sent a replacement 2 Weeks later that also was faulty and did not work. Hired pool service repair and they agreed that everything was clean and set up properly and that the product was faulty Delivery time was way too long called in to have the replacement part replaced for 2nd time. still, no tracking information for the replacement part that was ordered /submitted for on June 12th THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE My 15k gallon swimming pool is a breeding cesspool for mosquitos because I can`t even run the pump to circulate the water. This is horrible customer service and here we are almost JULY and I still do not have the part that was promised for a second time. From June 12th. I called in to get a tracking number and I'm told that my claim is still pending. from the 12th? This is a JOKE.. As i'm still on a call for over 65 mins of my life that I can never get back for what?? To be told that the part is out of Warranty complete BS. The website has the part out of stock. So I'm wondering if your just sending broken parts out to customers and giving horrible customer service? This is SO WRONG and I will be on the lookout for a class action lawsuit for horrible company and faulty products. I want a New replacement product

    Purchased Easy Set 10' x 30" pool on 06/24/23 from Academy along with a ******* Clear **** pump. We had to order the cover from Amazon and it arrived on 06/25/23. We began to setup the pool and it was approximately 1/3 full (300+ gallons of water) when water began to spill out 1 of the 2 outlets. Upon inspection, we found that the outlet was not sealed and you could see light through it. Clearly a manufacturer's defect. We will be going back to Academy tomorrow to purchase another pool as our 4 year old daughter and 3 year old grand daughter do not understand why we would have to wait 2+ weeks to have a pool setup to follow the warranty instructions provided on Intex's website. We will send the defective product in, pay for shipping and insurance, but would like a refund on the purchase price of the pool plus tax ($54.11), the wasted 300+ gallons of water ($25.00), plus the cost of shipping and insurance (unknown at this time) plus a 20% handling fee applied to the total above to include the fuel and labor required to purchase a new item and ship the defective item back to them for inspection.Intex specifically forbids its customer's from returning defective items to the place of purchase and thus causing delays in the reimbursement/warranty process. Since it is 100+ degrees ALL WEEK this week in *****, I am hopeful Intex will understand our request to make an exception to their "replacement" policy as we will be purchasing another pool tomorrow. We ask they reimburse us for the original cost of the defective pool, and extra expense we incurred.

    I am rejecting this response because: it is an unfair business practice to not accept responsibility for extra expenses incurred due to defective products.  However, thanks to the exceptional customer service of the retailer, they have refunded my money for your defective product. I would recommend anyone disregard the printing on the box that says not to return to the retailer the retailer will treat you right while Intex will give you a contractural runaround and not stand behind their product. 


    Sincerely,

    I am rejecting this response because:

     

    The business did not resolve the issue and in their response to me they said they would not resolve it.  This is fine to close out as the retailer, not the supplier/product maker took care of me but I will not accept this business's response as I find it unacceptable to stand behind your product and pay for extra expenses incurred when you product fails -- completed products GL coverage exists for a reason and consumers should not be so thwarted by flimsy disclaimers or limitations because they are written on a piece of paper inside of a box that is only accessible and reviewable after purchase.

    I purchased a INTEX above ground pool on Amazon on 4-10-23 for therapy. On 6-1-23 I hired and paid $1000 to have the pool installed (I am 72 years old and on a fixed income). After they installed it they started filling it and found it was leaking at the seam. I contacted Intex on 6-7-23 and filed a warranty claim on the liner. I sent them proof of purchase and pictures showing the liner was defective. They informed me that I had to cut up the liner and send them pictures. I said what if I do this and my liner isn't replaced, they said that was their policy. My installer said it would cost me another $1000 to take the pool down and reinstall the new liner if and when I receive it. I don't have another $1000 and I don't agree with their policy of cutting up the liner, if the liner is defective and they are a reliable company they should replace it. I read the warranty I received with the pool and no where does it say the liner has to be cutup to be valid. I am disappointed that I won't have a pool this year for my therapy.

    I ordered a part that was listed in stock on their web site. I did not receive a confirmation email with an order number. I paid extra for 2 day shipping of the part. I have not received anything from this business. I called today because I am still waiting for the part. My credit card was charged on Monday. NOONE in their customer service department would help me or transfer me to someone that could. The answer from all of the hard to understand customer service reps was to call and dispute the charge on my credit card. They don't really know what I can do about the part. The last person I talked to was mad because I said ********. I apologized but really it is. I am not sure how they can not find in their financial system my name and the amount charged. What a joke. I am pretty sure the call center is not in *****************. I have never been treated like such c*** by customer service in my life.

    I purchased a Intex pump 26647EG SX2800 ******* Clear Sand ************* on Amazon. Before purchasing, I check that Intex supports the purchase and honors their warranty through them. I spent $246.99 plus tax on the pump. I received this pump in April and have had it up and working since the end of May. I actually really like the product. We have had this pump running for 10 hours on 14 hours off - so no excessive use. I called to file a complaint and their response is to send me a motor. Not a pump or just the pump, a motor. Which means I have to hire someone to work on a pump that has been purchased less than 90 days ago. I am unable to work on said pump or "hire an electrician" as the customer service representative said so I am out the chemicals, cleaning time, etc. until I can purchase another one. There is no tutorial, work instruction, or reasonable understanding of how to replace a motor inside a faulty pump and I do not believe a consumer should be expected to work on or fix a product that has failed in less than 90 days.

    I purchased a new inflatable hot tub in February 2023 and set it up in April 2023. Several pieces were broken or missing, including the internal light and the correct cover. I replaced those myself, but the control panel on the base unit was also broken. I called intex and they sent a replacement control panel, which immediately displayed an error code when I tried to connect it. I email intext three weeks ago and received no reply. I called intex today and they agreed to send me another control unit, but the link they sent me to do this is broken.I need this hot tub replaced with one that works or refunded.

    I am rejecting this response because: I followed the instructions when I called the last time, which involved both unplugging the spa itself and also disconnecting, resetting, and reconnecting the control panel. It still shows the error code after I follow these steps. I did not follow the instructions to cut the cord to the spa for some reason because that made no sense.

    We bought an Intex pool last year, it has a 2 year warranty. The pool collapsed, and a large tear in the liner along with several support poles were damaged. Intex agreed the warranty would be utilized but stated they wont send more than 8 replacement parts. I did not find anything in the warranty limiting the replacement parts. Every time I call Intex now, they claim to have no record of me calling and refuse to give me a claim number to reference. I have been told to call back tomorrow, they will call me back within 48 hours, yet zero help and shockingly no call back. I also was told to go online and submit a form along with photos of the damages, which I did on June 5th and was told again I would receive a call back within *************************** $2,200 and I certainly would like them to honor their warranty. I do have a screenshot from Intex acknowledging they received my inquiry and photos on June 5th.

    I am rejecting this response because: 

    I have called them numerous times, Ive went online and submitted a claim request with photos etc.. I still get nothing when I call, they claim to have no knowledge of me ever calling or sending the claim via the internet.

    The last time I called, the gentleman I spoke with stated it would be covered and asked what parts I needed. I began explaining the parts I needed and was cut off, advised they wont send more than 8 parts. I asked for a new pool all together, and I was advised to contact Amazon. Well, Amazon is the holder of the warranty.

    I have had Intex pools for 18 years, never once had an issue, this is certainly a manufacturer issue. 

    I wont call and sit in hold for 30 minutes, I have done this 7 times over the last 3-4 weeks.

    On June 9, 2023 I purchased an Intex sand filter pump for my above the ground pool. It was delivered on June 12 and on June 13. We put it together. After the pool has been filled with the water and chemicals Ive been placed in. We turn the pump on but something didnt seem right there was no pressure coming out so we turn the pump off gave it a couple of minutes and tried to pump again. We followed all the instructions to the tea and still nothing has changed so I decided to call the support number on the front of the manual to get some help. The first call I made the agent was I guess frustrated because she had to deal with me and ended up hanging up on me. The second representative was more helpful. However, they require the customer to troubleshoot in ********************** product and then call and let them know what the problem is. So basically, the customer has to figure out whats wrong with another companies item, even though they didnt build or create the item and then report it to the company who built and created the item because they dont know. He ended up hanging up on me when I asked to speak with a supervisor. I took a break went back outside and tried to figure out the pump issue again I once again turned it on then green stuff started shooting out into my pool so now my pool is green , which means I have to empty the pool and fill it up again. It is so expensive to fill up **** gallons of water but now Im required to do so because I was unable to get help from the company who created the product. so I once again call the number, knowing I wasnt going to get any help, but was still hopeful. Unfortunately I got the same response. I also have 2 out of the 4 conversations recorded on video. At this point I just need some help and somebody needs to pay for my water bill this month.
