Gas and electric ditches are typically left open during construction to allow for city inspections and Project Manager inspections. These inspections ensure that all utilities are installed at the proper depth and comply with local building codes and safety standards.
Once inspections are complete, any remaining open ditches will be filled in either during the decking phase or at final grade, depending on your project’s timeline.
A subpanel may be required for your pool equipment if your current electrical panel does not have sufficient space or if your panel is not a Siemens panel, which is required to run Pentair equipment without tripping the breaker.
If a subpanel is necessary, your Project Manager will discuss the options with you to ensure that your electrical system can properly support your pool’s needs.
Standard propane tanks used for grills are too small to power a pool heater. For a spa heater, the minimum recommended tank size is a 100gal (lb) vertical propane tank. However, the exact size you need may vary depending on your pool’s heating requirements and the type of heater being used.
Propane installation typically occurs toward the end of the pool construction project. You will work directly with your propane provider to handle the installation of the propane tank, gas lines, and connections in accordance with Railroad Commission regulations.
At Emerald Custom Pools, we ensure that your pool equipment is fully ready for connection by the time the propane system is installed, helping to streamline the process and avoid delays.
