Fear not, we've got you covered! Follow the steps and you'll have your dream VESSEL in no time. Let's get started:
First things first. You need to decide what type of VESSEL you want. Plunge pools are 5' deep, and the smaller, square VESSEL Spa, in development now, is 42" deep. The two VESSEL models modulate with each other but also stand-alone. Make your selection, and now it's time to determine the layout of the pool and equipment. This involves deciding where the VESSEL will be placed and where the equipment necessary to maintain it will be installed. Make sure to plan carefully before placing your order.
Now that you have your VESSEL and layout determined, it's time to get the professionals involved. You can either connect with a preferred VESSEL installer or line up subcontractors for site preparation. These professionals will ensure that the site is ready for the installation of your VESSEL.
With any pool installation, before you can start construction, you must obtain permits. This step is crucial to ensure that your project complies with local building codes and regulations. So, make sure to fill out all the necessary paperwork and submit it on time. We provide detailed, stamped construction drawings to speed up the process.
With your permits in hand, it's time to start preparing the site. This step involves excavation and/or pouring a slab for the VESSEL and equipment. A subpanel may also be necessary for the electrical components. Ensure that all these tasks are carried out by a licensed professional with precision and care to avoid any future issues.
The next step is to schedule the delivery of your VESSEL. Make sure to coordinate with a crane service for offloading, as the VESSEL can be quite heavy to handle. Proper scheduling and coordination will ensure that the delivery and offloading process goes smoothly.
Now it's time to place your VESSEL on the prepared slab. Connect all the necessary electrical and plumbing fixtures, and set up the equipment. Don't forget to ensure proper grounding for safety. A licensed electrician will know how to properly ground the pool and equipment, and some municipalities may require an inspection to ensure there are no safety hazards related to improper grounding.
Once your VESSEL is installed, you may need to backfill around it for support and stability. After that, it's time to finish up with the landscaping and hardscaping. This is the step where you can get creative and add personal touches to make your VESSEL area truly unique and appealing.
