## The honest read

Wholesome Pool and Spa is a pool business on State St. in North Haven, with 3.8 stars from 58 Google ratings.

A 2026 customer said they installed a new liner in an inground pool, and the installation was completed in just one day at the beginning of the busy summer season. A 2026 customer said Nick and his crew were at the home from 8:30 am until nearly 5:30 on a day of nearly 100 degrees, and the installation was complete just in time for July 4th. A 2026 customer said staff were patient with the family's daily visits and gave step-by-step instructions for a mustard algae problem in the pool. A 2025 customer said Joe and Pat came out on short notice to close the pool.

A 2026 customer wrote that at their parents' pool opening the cover was left rolled up and dirty, the filter was left leaking, and a $700 bill was left in the mailbox despite the work not being finished. A 2025 customer said that at a pool opening the leaves and debris from the cover were dumped into the pool, and that they quoted nearly $700 for a part that costs about $200 elsewhere; the customer said the owner replied, "I know our price is high, it is what it is." A 2025 customer who paid over $3,500 for biweekly cleaning plus opening and closing said the pool was always green. A 2022 customer said a pool that was supposed to be done contractually by 6/30/22 was still not done on 8/29.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0658430, as active, held by Wholesome Pool and Spa.

**Strengths:**
- A one-day liner install — a 2026 customer said it took one day
- Algae help — a 2026 customer got step-by-step instructions from staff
- A short-notice closing — a 2025 customer said Joe and Pat came out

**Concerns:**
- An unfinished opening — a 2026 customer got a $700 bill before completion
- Part pricing — a 2025 customer was quoted nearly $700 for a part
- A green pool — a 2025 biweekly-cleaning customer said it was always green
- A late pool build — a 2022 customer's pool missed its 6/30/22 date
