It’s a relatively simple installation, given that the container Pool arrives fully built with a ready-to-go mechanical room. Our model is built around accommodating a previously unfamiliar installer with ease, as 95% of container Pool installations are done by a first-timer. Here are the four main areas you or a contractor you hire is covering:
- Land prep
- Crane/forklift offloading
- Running electrical
- Connecting the gas line
Standard chlorine pool chemicals. We suggest going to your local pool supplies provider for more information. They can test your water, and provide the recommended solutions.
We can provide stamped and sealed engineering drawings for an additional fee.
Yes, we use Pentair products which are a higher-end pool equipment brand that many pool servicing companies will know about.
- Landscaping preparation
- Crane/fork lifting for offloading the Container Pool
- Running electrical
- Connecting the gas line
Here are the points you will need to consider when looking at an in-ground or partial in-ground installation:
- You will want to have a perimeter drain and a sump pump to avoid any groundwater seeping into your mechanical room.
- You will need to allow a 3ft minimum (4ft preferred) swing for your mechanical room doors. This area should be finished with retaining walls.
- You will need to allow for above ground gas venting.
- If you are back-filling against your Container Pool, we recommend a vapor barrier between the Container Pool and the back-fill.
To retain access to your mechanical room, you would need to extend your “dig out” by an additional 4′ in length around the seating end of your pool to accommodate a drop-down access space. Most clients have some sort of decking concept on a hinge over this hole in the ground.
- The 400k BTU heater can heat the Container Pool to 104 degrees.
Your pool will be delivered via a 53′ flatbed truck to your home, and from there you are responsible for securing a local crane contractor to transfer the pool into your installation site. Depending on your location Container Pool may be able to recommend a company for this. However, we do not provide on-site assistance for the installation process.
Currently, our Container Pools are chlorine only. Saltwater is more corrosive in its nature, thus requiring a lot of R&D before we are comfortable rolling it out in a container pool. We hope to have it available sometime in the future, but at present, we are not able to offer a saline filter option.
Container Pools are self-contained units, unlike many conventional swimming pools, meaning you don’t need a separate pool-house on your property. They’re also very portable, saving you the high cost of a brand new pool the next time you move. All you need is a crane and a flat deck truck, and you’re good to go!
They can be installed above ground, in-ground and everywhere in between, making them much more versatile than a traditional pool. Another layer of versatility is our hot tub/pool hybrid component, where there is open-ended seating on one side of the Container Pools, with a lightweight divider wall that can be easily slipped in and out. This helps save time and money when heating the Container Pools, as you’re isolating the heat to the spa area and not the entire structure.
And finally, with above-ground or sloped installations, you can have windows for underwater viewing! This is one of our wow factors that our clients absolutely love about our Container Pools. It’s incredibly unique and kids tend to absolutely love it.
