Hincman Pool & Spa

Hincman Pool & Spa is a small, family-run pool store on Highland Avenue in Salem — walk-in supplies and chemicals with the kind of long-running relationships you find at a neighborhood shop. A 2026 review from a customer who's been going there for over 30 years praised Charlie and Marlene by name for their chemical advice, with their son helping load the car and calling it a local family business. The rest of the record is thinner and split. A 2023 review called the business always professional and fairly priced; another from the same year described a promised end-of-May pool opening that didn't happen until a call came on June 20, calling the delay unprofessional. For routine supply runs and chemical questions, the long-standing customer relationships stand out; if timing on a seasonal opening matters, it's worth confirming a firm date rather than a rough window.
