I cannot say enough great things about Yorktown Pools. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to making our pool experience perfect. The installation process was seamless—they worked efficiently, kept us informed every step of the way, and completed the project on time with impeccable quality. The pool looks stunning and has become the centerpiece of our backyard!
Their maintenance services have been top-notch, keeping our pool crystal clear and ready for use all season long. The technicians are always punctual, friendly, and happy to answer any questions we have. When it came time for closing and opening, they handled everything with care and precision, ensuring our pool was properly winterized and reopened without a hitch. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers.
I highly recommend Yorktown pools to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality pool company. They’ve made owning a pool an absolute joy! Thank you for your outstanding service!

We had installation of an inground pool years ago by Yorktown and just had a new liner placed this season by them. We also always have them open and close our pool every season. Excellent customer service as always! Robin and Rob are simply the best! Highly recommend!

Took them four attempts to change my liner in my above ground pool. They burnt my yard laying my winter cover on the grass all day. I lost multiple loads of water. They left my shed doors open and left my property. The communication was horrible. They installed the wrong size liner twice. Both times it collapsed. Sand was blown into my yard and the walls of the pool were compromised. Chemicals and water were wasted. I lost several weeks of swimming during the biggest heat wave of summer 2025. To top it all off when I was finally able to speak to the owner, he laughed at me twice during my explanation of my experience. Needless to say I’ve moved onto another company. Many people have had good experiences here, but my story was a horrible experience.

We have moved and did not use them recently, however, in the past for many years we used them, and they were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, fairly priced, and available quickly. Pools are fun, provide exercise and total family enjoyment, except when they don't. Yorktown Pools and Spas were always ready to solve stress and aggravation caused by a pool that was having issues. Thank you for always being there to relieve the problem and the associated stress and to provide us with a "Whew, glad we use Yorktown.
Frequently Asked Questions About Yorktown Pools & Spas
Do I need to clean my mesh winter cover?
Generally, cleaning isn't necessary. However, if substantial debris accumulates, you may need to rinse it off. Remember to alternate the folding direction when storing. Allow the cover to dry completely before rolling it up. Store it in a location that's inaccessible to mice and ants to prevent damage from chewing.
How do I care for and store my robotic cleaner?
For optimal care of your robotic cleaner, consider these points: use the appropriate time settings for your cleaning needs, avoid extension cords if possible, disconnect the cord after each use, clean the filter bag regularly, handle the cleaner carefully to prevent damage, and store it in a warm place during winter to avoid freeze damage. For specific concerns, consult the manufacturer's website or contact Yorktown Pools & Spas.
Why do I need to shock my swimming pool?
Shocking your pool is essential to maintain water quality. Over time, organic materials combine with chlorine to form 'combined chlorine,' which is less effective at disinfection and can cause irritation. Regular shock treatments break down these compounds, restoring the effectiveness of the chlorine sanitizer. This process, also known as super chlorination, involves adding a large dose of chlorine to the pool.
Why is filtration important to the quality of swimming pool water?
Filtration plays a crucial role in maintaining pool water quality by removing visible contaminants. The filter system eliminates hair, dirt, skin particles, metal or calcium deposits, and other debris. Without effective filtration, these elements would accumulate, resulting in cloudy and hazy pool water.
How do I know when it's time to clean my swimming pool filter?
While regular backwashing typically suffices for routine maintenance, over time, substances like grease, oils, and scale can accumulate on the filter media. This buildup can lead to shorter filter cycles, reduced water circulation, and persistent cloudiness in the pool water. To prevent these issues, we recommend thorough cleaning at mid-season and at the end of the swimming season.
