      Like many Families during the pandemic we purchased a pool so that our kids could enjoy it. Shopped at the Namco branch in ******* and purchased a pool which had been return but was not opened. The pool which was supposed to be delivered to our house was sent to a warehouse which prolonged the deliver finally having to ask them to return it to the store and i would pick up. When i brought everything home and had my installer start the work several key parts were missing. Reached out the store and were able to get the parts which caused further delays and some of the parts were damaged such as the pipe that connect to the main filter that has the grounding attachment(major safety part) part was never replaced. Multiple trips costing gas and time off from work. Bigger issue is their lack of understanding of their credit system. We were told that we had 18 months interest free. 18 months later and never missing a payment we were down to our last $600 payment. We were told at the store that the interest would be charge to any remaining balance($600) not the original purchase price of several thousands. We are now being hit with a $1.4k interest rate on top of the $600 owed instead of about $180 based on the current interest rate of almost 29% Not only has the pool been already patch due to bad liner and replaced parts in poor working condition or at least good for several years but are now being robbed of money much needed for other expenses. The staffed at Namco was dishonest with and not properly trained on how their credit system works. Their lack of knowledge not only mislead us it is costing us much more financially, taking money away from our family which needs to be spent in other bills. Very frustrating to think that we were almost completely done paying this debt and could move on to the next bill to find out that due to staff lack of knowledge/incompetence we would have to delay. Very frustrating and would never be recommending Namco to any one who ask.

      At the end of the summer my pool had to be taken down so we went to look for another pool went to Rocky hill and ordered a pool that was 18 x 33 the size I needed . After not hearing from them
      I happen to be in Manchester and we stopped in the Manchester store talked to the manager there she set me up and had my pool delivered which included a sales price including if I have it put in at this time I also get a discount if I use your installers so I said OK since the price was right and could afford it I would put it in the fall I waited a week or so it was delivered but turns out it was the wrong pool when the installers came out they said it was the wrong pool so It had to go back. Well they brought the new pool but never picked up the Old pool we had to bring it back ourselves which I don’t think was right then I get a call from a manager and he says the price will have to go up a bit which I wasn’t happy about because that wasn’t my fault but I agreed OK that’s not too bad so finally they show up to install it and they have to dig it up and they have to lay down some thing else which I paid extra for something called dust so I paid another $225 OK so now we’re filling up the pool I happen to look out the window second day and I look and I see water all around the pool
      Mud a real mess now I’ve been waiting almost a week because they told me it could be a split in a liner on the seam. I say OK bring me a new liner I’m still waiting a week later and the weather is getting colder well they’re digging with the bobcat I see they’re taking dirt out and putting it in the dump truck which is fine but this last load of dirt they never removed they left my house a total wreck I tried calling the store 11/7 Two times with no return call I need the liner and the dirt removed like the other dirt was removed I wasted water and I believe they should pay to have a truck come in and fill my pool They do need to compensate Some how they left my house a mess

      I purchased an 18'x33' oval above ground pool from Namco that they installed in mid June. Within minutes of water being added to it, the walls began to lift out of the rails at the bottom. The installer came out and pushed them back down and told me it was a terrible design and that this happens all the time. He told me to just keep pushing sand under it and everything would be ok. A month and a half later I watched the entire front side of my pool collapse in the same spot the walls had lifted. I reached out to Namco who "started a claim". I reached out to the installer who told me to get the water out quickly because he did not believe the walls would hold it. After several emails, I got a customer service lady to tell me they wanted to take the pool down and reconstruct it and were willing to replace anything they couldn't fix. I told her that is not acceptable. The entire pool is compromised and bent. I asked for my money back and she responded that she would need to talk to a manager. A week later after I emailed her again, she stated that an installation manager would call me. I asked when and received no response nor have I received that phone call. My family and I are now without a pool, have lost thousands of dollars and get to look at a pile of aluminum sitting on top of a pile of sand they dumped under it with no resolution and no one reaching out to me. I will be taking legal action at this point. I do not recommend this company or their cheap product to anyone.

      Ongoing issues with NAMCO -
      ISSUE 1 - Was told by Namco a site visit was included in the cost of the pool installation. The installer, Dave C***** showed up and I was informed that it was a $75 fee. I gave him $80 and received no change.
      ISSUE 2 - Pool was supposed to be delivered in early May (after I purchased a house), delivery arrived on 4/28, which had to be refused (didn't own the house yet). Never heard back about a new date until I called in mid-May.
      ISSUE 3 - I was told at the ********** store that I would have to pull my own permits. The install process was delayed as Namco was informed they had to pull the permits.
      ISSUE 4 - Actual installation was delayed almost a week because of inclement weather and installations from 2021.
      ISSUE 5 - Spoke with Namco about the delayed install as my fiancé took the entire week off of work to accommodate. Namco called the installer and he was able to come to the house on 6/13 (6 days late).
      ISSUE 6 - On Saturday, June 11, Mr. C***** arrived and felt the need to insult me and make fun of my last name. He repeatedly told me that Namco changed my name on the order for the pool (2 months after purchase) from D***** to “Duchy” and he referred to me several times as “Duchy”.
      ISSUE 7 - Mr. C***** and his assistant used my backyard as their toilet and urinated by my shed (this with young children in my house). Never even asked to use the bathroom.
      ISSUE 8 - Promised arrival times at 10 am for install/excavation - Mr. C***** arrived at 11:30 for install and 4 pm for excavation. Sand was to be delivered at 4 pm, Mr. C***** arrived at 6.
      ISSUE 9 - Hoses and filter leaked
      ISSUE 10 - Within a month of install pump doesn't work.
      ISSUE 11 - Field rep is supposed to arrive at my house by noon on 7/20....it is currently 2:33 and isn't here yet.
      Solution - In late June with all of the issues (except fixing the pump), received a $200 store credit
