Two hours. That is how fast a 2024 customer says ACR Pools got water delivered after a last-minute decision to put a large above-ground pool in the yard for the kids. The Pembroke, New Hampshire company says it is owner-operated by Keith Gelinas, and above-ground pools are the whole job: installation, liner replacement, removal, and seasonal opening and closing. Several customers describe how quickly things moved. One in 2024 had a Trevi pool installed within days of the first call, with pool water arranged to arrive as soon as the install was finished. Another that same summer wrote that a different pool water company would not even answer the phone, while Keith was there fast. The install itself tends to be short — a 2024 reviewer put an above-ground installation at less than a day. It is not only new pools. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described the pool that came with their house, closed for four years and a mess; one call brought Keith out to fix it up, clean it out and fill it. A July 2026 reviewer wrote about a difficult install on a very hot day, where the crew handled each snag with grace and worked well together. Price comes up in plain terms rather than complaints: a June 2026 customer called the pricing completely fair after what they described as a perfect install, and a 2024 customer called the cost reasonable. On Google the company carries a 5-star average across 13 ratings, with 11 written reviews going back to 2023. If you need an above-ground pool put in, opened for the season, or fitted with a new liner around Pembroke, this is an owner-run shop that reviewers say answers and shows up. Before booking, pin down the install date, who is arranging and paying for the water delivery, and what the quoted price covers.
This was an incredible experience with a difficult install! Keith and crew ran into so many challenges on an incredibly hot day. Every challenge was handled with grace and intuitive problem solving. Watching the team work together was an impressive display of mutual understanding. There was always a sense of humor and keen professionalism throughout the install. I was so impressed. Highly recommend! Update: AND, when I had some questions after the install, Keith was approachable and helpful, even on the weekend. He solved my issues right away. 😁
Have these guys install your pool. They showed up did the job with ease and are very easy to work with completely fair pricing . The install was perfect and we couldn't be happier.
Thank you so much, Keith, for your time and help with the pool. Your honesty and kindness truly made a difference—it reminds me that there are still good, genuine people in the world. I really appreciate everything you did.
We hit so many walls trying to get the pool that came with our house open. It was a MESS, it hadn’t been open for 4 years. One call to ACR saved our pool. Keith came out, fixed it up, cleaned it out, & filled it up. ACR does it all & are so nice & understanding. We are customers for life!
We recently got an above ground pool and are so happy that we went with ACR Pools for the installation. Professional, efficient and a nice team of people. The cost was reasonable and the installation took less than a day. Absolutely recommend this company!
