Owner Builder Pool Equipment Planning Checklist
Prepare a clear equipment request before purchasing components for your owner-builder pool project. This checklist helps organize the information your designer, installer and equipment supplier need. When the schedule is ready, use our owner-builder equipment package page to request an itemized quote.
Collect the Project Information
- Pool and spa dimensions and estimated water volume.
- Construction plans, plumbing design and equipment schedule.
- Heater fuel source and desired swimming or spa-heating schedule.
- Water features, cleaner type, lighting zones and sanitation method.
- Equipment-pad dimensions, electrical information and delivery ZIP code.
Check the Equipment Schedule
| Equipment | Information to specify |
|---|---|
| Pump | Exact model, flow requirements and control method. |
| Filter | Type, capacity and installation footprint. |
| Heater | Fuel, capacity, installation requirements and control interface. |
| Automation | Pool/spa configuration, circuits, valves and accessories. |
| Salt and lighting | Correct power equipment, connectors, voltage and control compatibility. |
Identify Accessories and Retained Equipment
For a renovation, list every component you plan to retain. For a new build, ask which actuators, transformers, sensors, unions and communication accessories are included or need separate purchase. Have your installer review the schedule before ordering.
Prepare for Equipment Delivery
Provide the destination ZIP code and tell us whether a large truck can reach the receiving area. Identify any liftgate or appointment requirements. Ask whether the equipment will arrive together or separately and plan storage with your installer.
Send Plans for a Package Quote

Warranty terms depend on the exact product, purchase channel and installation conditions. Request the applicable manufacturer terms before buying; package purchases do not automatically give every item the same warranty.
