On the following pages, you’ll find a sampling of the last gold-winning pools, along with the winning retail storefronts.

Each firm that enters the service competition must select 10 customers with a surname beginning with the random letters chosen by NESPA. Via email, those customers are directed to an online survey, asking them to rate the company on six parameters of service, such as performance and response time.
Responses are weighted to determine which entrants receive gold, silver and bronze status.
The following took the gold in the 2023 NESPA Outstanding Achievement Awards Service Competition:
Aqua Pool & Patio, East Windsor, Conn.
Blue Wave Pool Service and Supplies, Wallingford, Conn.
Integrity Pool & Spa, Lanoka Harbor, N.J.
Lipari Pools, Middlesex, N.J.
Congratulations to all these companies!
