It doesn't matter what you purchase at Leslie's Pool store, you can be sure you buy an equivalent product of equal quality elsewhere, just takes a little shopping around. I doubt their employees enjoy decent salaries or working conditions based on the half-hearted service.
Tip for consumers: Leslie’s products are significantly more expensive than equivalent competitive products of equal quality, a quick internet search is all it takes. Service quality is somewhat hit-and-miss, so be prepared.
A shout out to both Martin and Thomas working in the Tire and Battery department of the Shenandoah branch of Sam's Club. These quietly efficient gentlemen are an asset to Sam's Club, polite, courteous and professional in dealing with customers, I am happy to commend them for their service.
