Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Rick Pinto Swimming Pools says it has been in business for 40 years, and its website describes pool installation, maintenance, repair and renovation for residential and commercial properties in Connecticut. Its stated service area runs from Greenwich, Darien and Stamford through Norwalk, Wilton, Ridgefield and Redding. Its BBB grade is A+. In a 2023 Houzz review, a customer said Rick Pinto had maintained their pool for 7 years and sent his staff to assist when needed. A 2024 customer said they needed a new filter that year, and it was ordered and installed within 2 days. A 2024 Google reviewer said these guys had saved them a couple of times and called the techs capable and patient. A 2024 customer who had used the service for years said it trailed off: the pool pump was often left off after service, and chemical spills were left on the deck. That 2024 customer wrote that a pool heater Pinto sold and installed sprang a major leak, and that the new pool company named two possible causes of the heater's rapid degradation: poor maintenance of the pH and chemicals, or poor winterization. In a reply quoted in that 2024 review, Rick Pinto said the chlorine had gone in the skimmer and eventually destroyed the heat exchanger. The customer's later update said Rick made the repair to the heater after some back and forth offline. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0550791, as active, held by Rick Pinto Swimming Pool Service. **Strengths:** - Quick filter install — a 2024 customer said it was ordered and installed within 2 days - Long-term maintenance — a 2023 Houzz reviewer said they had used them 7 years **Concerns:** - Heater damage — a 2024 customer said the heater was ruined, later repaired - Missed service details — a 2024 customer said the pump was often left off **Where sources disagree:** - In a 2024 Google review, Rick Pinto replied that the customer had declined a chlorinator when the account began; the customer wrote that they were never asked about one. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Self-reported 40 years in business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://rickpintopools.com) — “Self-reported 40 years in business” - Website describes pool installation, maintenance, repair and renovation for residential and commercial properties _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://rickpintopools.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Professional pool services in Connecticut by Rick Pinto Swimming Pools.
