Prospect Pools builds, opens, closes and repairs in-ground swimming pools, and it runs a retail store for chemicals and supplies. Its Google page shows 4.4 stars from 77 ratings. The company says it has been in business 25 years, and its Houzz profile describes design and water features, pool restorations, liner repairs and salt systems. A recent customer said they took care of a pool in Southington and the filter has never worked so well. A recent customer struggling with cloudy water said the staff analyzed it, explained what was going on and walked them through the fix until the pool was clear. A recent customer who called them to fix another pool company's mess said they came fast and the filter is like brand new. A 2025 customer described a new liner in a pool Prospect Pools had originally installed, with a stair replacement added at their request, and called the pricing quite fair. That 2025 customer also said that when their pump seized on Memorial Day weekend, the company installed a new one that Tuesday, and replaced it at no cost the next day when it failed. A 2023 customer said Chris coordinated the electricians, fence company, masonry company and town hall permits for their new inground pool. A 2022 customer said Chris and Anna built and installed their in-ground pool and had opened and closed it yearly for the last 15 years. In 2023, a customer with a surging pump said a tech came out in less than 48 hours and removed acorns from the ball valve. A recent customer said the pool never leaked until Prospect Pools changed it over to saltwater, that they spent over $1500, and that Chris told them to put a hose over the side to keep the water in. A 2026 customer said the owner was almost impossible to reach after the deposit and eventually stopped responding, though his wife provided a refund. A 2025 customer said their mom's pool, started in April, was still not done on June 30th, and the company was a no show on the day it said it would finish. A 2025 customer said a spa liner reported to Chris in 2021 still leaked where it attaches under the spillover. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0570632, as active, held by Prospect Pools LLC.
Highly recommend!!! They took great care of our pool in Southington- filter has never worked so good in years!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service and Expertise! I cannot recommend this pool store enough! After struggling to get my pool's chemistry and water clarity under control, the team here completely saved the day. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and friendly. They took the time to analyze my water, explain exactly what was going on, and walked me through the right steps to fix it. Thanks to their expert guidance, my pool went from cloudy and frustrating to absolutely crystal clear. If you want top-tier customer service and honest advice, do yourself a favor and visit them for any and all of your pool-related needs!
Had to call prospect pool to help me fix another pool company's mess. they came fast and did a perfect job my filter is like brand new and pumps stronger than I can ever remember. vin
If you are not a pool professional and must depend on the so-called professionals. This is definitely not the place to go. I never had a leak in my pool until Prospect Pools changed me over to a Saltwater pool. I spent over $1500 from what these professionals said I needed to do. They must have come out about every other week telling me I needed to do this or that. In between visits I had to keep ordering water. The last so-called fix when Chris (the owner) came out and said I needed to put a hose over the side to keep the water in (another $400). The pool company that opens and closes my pool took one look at it and was immediately on the phone with me, telling me how dangerous and how illegal it was. I really had high hopes for them. But the summer of 2025, concerning Prospect Pools was very expensive and a disaster. If there was a negative rating. I would give them one. Shame on you!
Very friendly and knowledgeable people.
