New Pool Installation
Mister Pool specializes in complete inground pool installations tailored to your property's unique characteristics. Our process begins with personalized design consultations, followed by expert excavation, structural construction, and final finishing touches. We coordinate all aspects including landscaping, electrical hookups, and safety features to create functional backyard retreats. With over 500 successful installations since 1985, our team completes most projects within two weeks while maintaining strict quality control standards.
Liner Replacement
We provide premium GLI Liner replacements that combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Our technicians measure and install custom-fitted liners in various colors and thickness options, ensuring proper water chemistry balance and UV resistance. The process includes complete pool draining, surface preparation, and precise liner fitting to prevent wrinkles or leaks. With 27-mil thickness options and multiple pattern choices, our replacements extend pool lifespan while enhancing visual appeal.
Pool Pumps
Mister Pool installs and services Hayward ultra-high-efficiency pumps engineered for quiet operation and energy savings. Our technicians recommend appropriate flow rates based on pool size and usage patterns, ensuring optimal water circulation and filtration. We provide complete installation packages including pump-body, motor, and control systems with manufacturer warranties. Regular maintenance services maintain system efficiency and prevent costly breakdowns during peak usage seasons.
Pool Heaters
We offer Rheem and Aquacal heater installations for year-round pool enjoyment. Our specialists determine appropriate BTU requirements based on pool volume and climate conditions, ensuring rapid heating and energy efficiency. The installation includes proper gas line connections, thermostat integration, and safety shut-off systems. We provide both traditional gas heaters and modern heat pump options to suit different budget and environmental preferences.
Chlorinators
Our salt chlorine generator installations provide automated water sanitization without harsh chemical handling. The system converts salt to chlorine through electrolysis, maintaining consistent water quality with reduced maintenance. We offer complete installation packages including control panels and salt level monitoring systems. This eco-friendly alternative extends equipment lifespan while providing swimmer-friendly water chemistry.

Dave, Mr. Pool, is what every merchant should befair and honest; professional and personable. We did business with him years before and are now going to replace our inground pool liner along with a seasonal cover. We appreciate the time he spent with us making sure everything was up to our standards. We would recommend Mr. Pool to anyone! Thank you! John and Sue Severins

The business name is Mr. Pool and let me tell you... very satisfied. Installed our liner when he said he would, they came, saw, did, excellent.. looks gorgeous. Changed our liner and installed the new one and you would never have known they were here. Clean, neat, very courteous employees and the owner called me back every time I called him or the office. The liner guy never called back and never seemed interested. I will use Mr. Pool for all my in ground pool. Thanks Mr. Pool.

Dave and his company installed my original pool and it was time for a new liner. From the moment his crew arrived they were thorough and had a great attention to detail. They not only installed the liner but checked all the other equipment to make sure everything was running properly. Im very picky and they treated my property as if it were their own. something rare to find these days. I tell everyone I know, if youre considering an inground pool, just call Dave from MR POOL. Youll be a satisfied customer for life!
