I have my second leak in 3 months from the plumbing, and Harry Lutz is trying to say it isn't covered past a year in the warranty (through rep Jimmy; I have never spoken to Lutz). Lutz was conviently on a much needed vacation when I asked to speak to him. Now back, he is out of the office today, though I was put on hold for a minute before that was established; you'd think a reception would maybe know if the boss was out. During Harry Lutz' vacation, Jimmy was kind enough to call corporate about my warranty. Barbara from Corporate agreed that it was covered, but told Jimmy that he'd need to still speak to Lutz before he acted. Well, Lutz comes back from vacation, and he tells Jimmy I'm only covered for plumbing In and under the pool. Well, where else can the plumbing be, in the sky? No where else in the warranty is plumbing mentions. Lutz claims it applies to the One Year Warranty on all other parts sections; a section that references parts and accessories including decking. Something as important as plumbing isn't mentioned there, but the totally cosmetic decking is! What a con-artist.
I called for over a month, usually twice daily for this answer. I want a call back from Harry Lutz, and I want my warranty honered! It's October and I need this leak fixed so I can close my pool for the winter. I add water daily through my hose. Will I get reimbursed for the huge hike in my water bill?

See, this is the problem with Blue Haven, they'd rather point the finger of blame back at the customer then investigate the problem and honor their warranty when at fault. Unfortunately, new ownership hasn't changed a thing. My dealings with Frank have been about my pool motor going. He tried to pass me off to Hayward, but Hayward's standard warranty is not the warranty I received from Blue Haven when I signed the contract. My Blue Haven warranty covers the motor for 5 years, and the motor went within the 5 year period. Hayward's standard warranty s for less. Frank tried to tell me that he purchased teh Manassas office, and that it is only Blue Haven in name, and that he doesn't have to honor the warranty I had with Blue Haven. Nancy Blaugh and Christine Waters from corporate said that is not true, that it is still Blue Haven, and Frank does have to honor the warranty. Frank's final response to me was "then take me to court". Mind you, we are talking about a part that is less than $300.
Eric's leak was caused by poor winterization of the pool. If you leave water in the skimmers and it freezes it will crack the skimmer. It is the customers responsibility to properly winterize the pool as clearly stated in the contract.
Blue Haven Pools & Spas in Manassa, Va was privately purchased in January 2008 and is no longer owned or operated by any of the aforementioned individuals.
