Member Testimonials

“We joined Carecraft in 2006 when we had four retail stores in the Phoenix area. Today we have 22 and we give a lot of the credit to Carecraft, ease of ordering and sharp prices, the support from the staff and the networking support from the other members in the organization.”

~ Aaron and David Hagen, Cactus Valley Pool Supply, Gilbert, AZ

“We have been a member of Carecraft for 21 years. Being a member has given us more buying power and better relationships with vendors/manufacturers in the pool industry. Carecraft has enabled us to meet many other Pool Professionals and leaders in the pool industry, which has given us a great networking tool to share knowledge, ideas and friendships all across the country. Carecraft has been very valuable in the success of our business.”

~ Kathryn Bauer, Stuart Bauer Pools, Louisville, KY

“When Dustin and I decided to join Carecraft we didn’t realize how much money we would save by purchasing through the group. I kick myself for not doing it 3yrs earlier when we were first asked to join by some fellow members. We now focus our company to buy as much product as we can through Carecraft. I have also made some new friendships at the annual meetings and cocktail parties at the International Pool and Spa show which we attend. The annual meetings are in great destinations and have a lot of great speakers and messages, I also enjoy the entertainment that they provide in the evenings after or during dinner. It was at a couple of these meetings that I heard about and then listened to the Genesis 3 guys give presentations on how they conduct their designing and building projects. I decided to start taking some of the classes that they offer to help our company achieve some of the higher standards set by these individuals. I’m looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship with Carecraft as they continue to help us stay out in front of the pool industry.”

“Since we joined Carecraft three years ago, the access to the Education Programs has helped us recognize our potential as high-end custom pool builders. We build fewer pools now than we did three years ago but the average selling price has quadrupled. I am not sure where our business would be today, without Carecraft, but I definitely know it would not be as profitable and strong as it is.”

~ Jeff Ludlow, Dolphin Pools and Spas, Salt Lake City, UT

“I joined Carecraft in 1998 and feel that it was the single best decision I have ever made in my business career. Although the fact that we buy at better prices then most is a major part of the attraction, the real deal for me is the friendships that I have made and the vast resource of knowledge that is at my finger tips via this great organization.”

~ Guy Wood, Westside Watershapes, Ft. Worth, TX

“Initially we joined Carecraft to buy better. Once we met our fellow members and had the chance to connect and share ideas and best practices…Carecraft became far more than just a place to buy better. Being a Carecraft member is one of our competitive advantages. ”

~ Brian Quint, President, Aqua Quip, Renton, WA

“Being a Carecraft member has opened doors and allowed my company to access programs I might not have been able to otherwise. Being a member has also saved me and my staff countless hours because the negotiating is done for us. Saving money at the buying end is great but saving time is even more precious for most of us. The new friendships and the networking opportunities have simply been a bonus and in the end possibly the greatest benefit of all.”
