I have an Aqua Leader pool that I purchased from Watson's in Indy in '99. It's the Concerto 52" model. Absolutely love it. Installation was great. Over this past winter we had ice damage and the stainless steel service panel buckled. (see my thread: "Winter Woes".) We are now in the process of trying to replace the panel. Watsons told my pool contractor that they had the stainless steel panel in stock for all of the pools that they sell. When my contractor went to Watson's to pick up the panel, guess what? No panel in stock. This was the day before the work on the pool was to be done. We had literally just finished draining the pool when we got the call that they won't be doing the work on our pool the next day. Come to find out, the panel has to be special-ordered in from Canada. It will take it 3 weeks (we're thinking positive!) to get here at a cost of $500-600 for the one panel. I'll be lucky to have a pool up and running by July 13. Now, I'm looking at my empty pool with it's shrunken liner that has ripped and torn. Is this Watson's fault? Partially.. Is this my contractor's fault? Partially....
Anyway, would I buy again from Watson's? (I live outside of Lafayette) Probably not. I would go with something/someone a little higher-end. Service service service... Good luck!!
