Yes, most areas require permits for:

  •  Excavation and construction to ensure compliance with zoning laws.
  • Plumbing and electrical work for filtration, lighting, and heating.

A professional contractor will handle permits and inspections, but always confirm what is included in their service.

  • Test and adjust pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels weekly.
  • Clean filters and skimmers every 1-2 weeks.
