Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

Pool projects range from a seasonal opening to major construction. State whether you need water-care service, a leak investigation, equipment repair, resurfacing, or a new pool. Share model information, prior repair records, and photographs of the pool and equipment area so the provider can prepare an appropriate visit.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
What must be completed before the pool can be used?
Who coordinates permits and each specialist trade?
What maintenance responsibilities start immediately after handoff?
