Practical Pools was incorporated in 2006 and has many long standing happy customers. Practical Pools is owned by Craig Rittmeyer who on his own has over 15 years of experience servicing pools.
Balancing Water Chemistry - Pool water chemistry is a vital part of every swimming pool.

Netting Pool Debris - Each week as part of the full service plan we will net any debris on or below the surface of the pool water to keep your pool swim ready and running efficiently.

I have American Home Shield and Practical Pools & Ponds is contracted through my warranty too handle issues with my pool and pool equipment.
On three different occasions they have been called to do the work on my pool equipment. All three times, they have done an excellent job on helping me, including filing with American Home Shield to replace my pool filter pumps and my slide/Waterfall pump.
They ended up replacing both pumps and I didn't pay anything out of pocket. The employees are so awesome, on time, friendly and they fixed my pump before the 4th of July just like they promised. I 100%

Practical pools was amazing to work with. It is very difficult in the Alabama coastal area to find great contractors, especially when it comes to swimming pool installation. I hit the jackpot. They were timely, cost-effective, but most of all high-quality workmanship and products. I have had other pools installed so I am well aware of the process and have a good basis of comparison. They communicated well, made me aware of any issues and choices of resolutions. They charged me what they estimated. Their crew worked hard and were so pleasant. They went above and beyond my expectations. They were

We switched to Practical Pool & Pond after having horrible service with another pool company, and Leslie and her team have been absolutely phenomenal. They have the foresight you want in a company while being cost conscious with repairs. The amazing weekly job they do cleaning our pool has allowed us to truly enjoy it for the 1st time in years. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a honest & reliable pool service with very friendly employees.

We are very happy with Practical Pools. A lot of research went in to our decision making to include four different pool company interviews. This company is honest, they work hard and have always taken my call. We have a 25000G curvy pool with spill over jacuzzi. Reviews have always been a factor making these kind of decisions for us. I hope this will help someone with their decision. I would definitely refer Practical Pools.

About 3 years ago I had practical pools and ponds install and maintain the pool. I feel it is convenient all I have to do as it goes swimming. I don't have to worry about the chemicals I don't worry about vacuuming. My grandkids can just hop in the pool they don't have to wait for that pool to be clean. I feel very fortunate to have a company that is very good at what they do. Lori and Steve have clean in my pool from day one. If any part goes bad Scotty comes and fixes or replaces in a timely manner. If I have any questions at all I just call Lauren. In my eyes very reasonable price. If I had

They cancelled 2 appts to start with.had to call constantly to finally get someone to give me a quote. I should stopped there, but then the price was hard to beat. I had already interviewed 2 other pool companies so I did not ask what the pool was made of. I found out looking at my neighbors pool they (practical pools)are using ply wood instead of polymer walls. To me wood and water don’t mix. Seems like they would explain to all new customers what their pools are made of.
PS I don’t think it should take over 2 months to complete a pool. The pool company I have hired will have it complete

This has been the worst experience of my life! The pool was not dug to 7 foot but 6 foot and you have to call them everyday for anyone to come out and do some work. They take on to many jobs with not enough people. Greed! That's all it is. I'm very unsatisfied with this pool project and when they are finished I hope I never have to deal with any of them again. I would not recommended this company to ANYONE! I'm stuck with a 14x28 6 foot pool that my kids love and I hate! By the way we are still waiting on them to finish the salt water pump. It's been 6 weeks now. My husband will call them again
