Learn the full residential pool installation workflow — from site assessment to startup and handover.
Who this course is for
Entry-level installers, landscaping crews adding pools, and homeowners-turned-tradespeople who want structured training.
What you’ll be able to do
- Read site plans and run a pre-dig assessment (utilities, soil, drainage, access)
- Follow the excavation, base prep, and shell-setting sequence for vinyl, fiberglass, and gunite builds
- Rough-in plumbing and bonding to code checkpoints
- Backfill, deck prep, and equipment pad setup
- Run startup chemistry and a professional customer handover
Course curriculum
Module 1: Site assessment and permits
Every failed install traces back to a skipped assessment step.
Module 2: Excavation and base preparation
Dig day is where margins are made or lost.
Module 3: Setting the shell: vinyl, fiberglass, and gunite basics
Each construction type has its own critical path.
Module 4: Plumbing rough-in and equipment pad
Covers suction/return line sizing, skimmer and main drain placement, pressure-testing lines before backfill (and why you photograph the gauge), and trench depth/bedding standards.
Module 5: Backfill, decking prep, and finishing
Backfill done wrong cracks decks and pops shells.
Module 6: Startup, water chemistry, and customer handover
A professional handover prevents 80% of warranty callbacks.
