What to expect and how to prepare for a seamless pool installation:
Customer To-Do Checklist:
☑ Obtain all necessary permits for the installation of the pool.
☑ Stake or mark out the area you would like the pool to be installed, in accordance with the town permit.
☑ Provide clear, unrestricted access to the pool site for our team to enter with all necessary machines and equipment (minimum 8 feet).
Customer Costs:
- Excavation over 6" (if necessary)

STEP #1
Permit
PERMIT APPLICATION:
The customer is responsible for choosing the pool location, complying with all applicable codes and regulations, adhering to all "Call Before You Dig" procedures, as well as obtaining all necessary permits and fees. Please visit your local town hall to complete the application process. You can start the delivery process while you complete the permit process.
STEP #2
Delivery
POOL KIT DELIVERY:
The delivery of the pool kit is managed through our office and 3rd party delivery companies who will let you know your estimated delivery date prior to the delivery. The pool kit will take up on average 1-2 skids worth of space which is approximately a 8 X 4’ area. The pool kit is placed in the driveway. We do not require anyone to be home for the delivery to take place. Once the pool has been delivered you will be ready for the next step, the excavation.
STEP #3
Excavation
EXCAVATION IS SCHEDULED BY YOUR INSTALLER:
The excavation is scheduled by the installer who will contact you to set up an appointment. On the day of the excavation, it is the home-owners responsibility to have the minimum 4’ 6” level access available for the machine to enter the backyard. Along with the entranceway, measure your pool area to make sure you have enough space for the pool according to by law restrictions. Stake and mark the pool’s location including pump/filter placement. Clearly marking all preexisting underground wires, irrigation systems, obstructions, cardboard, and packaging as well as specifying a location for excavated earth. Depending on the grade and size of the pool this may be a substantial amount. The machine used to excavate, while powerful may have a difficult time with concrete, tree roots, and existing underground structures. If the excavator cannot remove an obstruction, it is the customer's responsibility to have that obstruction removed at their own expense. Please note that this may cause delays in the excavation and installation process. *See stores for details on extra charges for excavation.
STEP #4
The Installation
INSTALLATION IS SCHEDULED WITH THE SUBCONTRACTOR:
Once the pool has been excavated, you are ready for installation. The installation is scheduled between you and the subcontractor. This is usually done the same day as the ground excavation but can be scheduled on separate days. On the day of installation, the contractor will add a sand base, blocks for leveling bottom rail. Assembly of the pool and the vinyl liner. Assembly of filtration system in its designated area, skimmer, return jet and any other add on stated on your install agreement. Remember, the excavated dirt, cardboard, and shipping packages to be left on-site in the designated area.
STEP #5
Water & Electrical
TIME TO FILL YOUR POOL UP WITH WATER:
Once the pool is installed, it is time to get your water delivered and a licensed electrician to complete the final step of the pool installation. These would be external companies of your choice unless the installer has their own recommendations. The water is usually coordinated on the day of installation or days after depending on scheduling. The electrical company will be responsible for hooking up the electrical to make sure it is done to your local electrical codes. This will include running the lines to the pool equipment, bonding the pool and equipment, and any other necessity by your local laws and regulations.
