Noel Terry-Thimlar grew up in the pool industry. Harmony Pools is a family business with 160-plus years of combined experience among the staff members, most of whom are family members.
As a third-generation family business, Harmony Pools opened their first retail store in May of 2022 in Zionsville – a location that makes sense to the family.
My husband, Gabe Thimlar, is a Zionsville High School graduate and has lived in the community, Terry-Thimlar says. We lived and worked in Zionsville before moving to Lebanon. We love Boone County and have a heart for this community.
Harmony Pools makes donations to local community charities on a quarterly basis and is always willing to help with community support. Its important to the business that Boone County and Zionsville residents have opportunities to gain insight and education from Harmony Pools, and to make sure they can swim in harmony – ensuring every swimming pool experience is a good one.
With the addition of the store, Harmony Pools is expanding beyond their current pool maintenance packages (testing water chemistry, inspecting equipment, as well as clearing and cleaning out debris and water) and custom-built swimming pools with retail items you might not expect when you walk into a pool store. The retail store offers bath salts, handcrafted loofah soap, greeting cards, and a signature Handcrafted by Harmony collection of soaps and candles. Online ordering for in-store pickup or delivery is available and right now, and Harmony Pools is offering free delivery on orders over $100 until June 1.
Terry-Thimlar notes that pool owners should always be proactive and not reactive. Customers can schedule services online via the customer portal, where you can request, pay and shop all in one place. Once spring and summer passes, she encourages clients to continue checking on their pool, even if its cold out. Harmony Pools offers a winter maintenance program for those who might travel to warmer climates during the winter, and the team suggests stocking up on pool floats, supplies and other items from the retail store during their December super sale.
We have had a huge outreach from the community for our services, and were hiring, Terry-Thimlar says. We need more people to fulfill the demand from the surrounding area. We are working very hard to make sure Zionsville and our communities are well-maintained and taken care of. We feel that we are all family at Harmony Pools and will always help our clients find what they need.
Although Harmony Pools has been open since last May, there will be a grand opening with the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce on Monday, May 15 at 4:30 p.m.
