Merit Quality Pools is a Torrington pool company whose BBB profile describes swimming pool sales, service and supplies. Its site says it has been in business 62 years. A recent customer said the staff are polite and knowledgeable and have often spared them unnecessary costs. A 2024 customer said their new filter pump would not run, John came out the next day and took the pump back to Merit, and they replaced it the next day. A 2024 customer said the company fixed a leak in their pool and left everything neat. A 2024 customer said Sarah gave specific chemical instructions, including written ones, and their pool was clear after about a week. A 2022 customer said the company knew how to deal with the algae in their pool and it was crystal clear within four hours. A 2022 customer said they paid $9,750 for a custom liner and its installation, the liner did not fit in the four corners of the pool, and the owner, Jon Truskauskas, quoted $10,263.40 to repair it. That 2022 customer also said the pool lights were taken and never returned and a blue stone step was broken. That 2022 customer said they filed a complaint with the CT State Attorney General's Office. A 2023 customer said a Merit worker advised draining their in-ground pool, another Merit worker found it was not as bad as told, and the next day they learned of an additional bill for chemicals they never approved. A 2022 customer said their pool was still green in July after spending money on new parts, though the company got the contract the previous fall. Connecticut lists the company's home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0516056, as expired.
Always polite, pleasant and knowledgeable when I visit. These folks have been my "go to" now, since moving into the area 4 years ago now. I've felt like they've been up front and honest with me, always, often sparing my unnecessary costs (despite that nasty 1 star review). There's just no pleasing some folks. For me though, Merit has been great. Would recommend a call if you need services.
Absolutely the best in customer service!
Thank you John and Merit pools! Our filter pump stopped working about 2 weeks ago. Went to Merit for a new one. After installing it, I could not get it to run. John came out the next day to check it out, couldn’t get it to run either. Took the pump with him back to Merit, motor was bad. They replaced it for me the next day! Thank You!😊
Great job fixing a leak in our pool. Very responsive, good communication and left everything very neat. Highly recommend!
Great location. Friendly staff. They have what I needed. Good water evaluation. Solved a problem that might have cost me $250 for $2.50. I'll be back.
