Licensing and permits
Building or substantially altering a pool requires a licensed pool/spa contractor licensed through Florida's Construction Industry Licensing Board. Routine cleaning doesn't, but repair work may.
Tips before you hire
- New pools must meet Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act barrier rules.
- Ask whether service includes filter cleaning and equipment checks, not just chemicals.
- Variable-speed pumps cut electric bills a lot in Florida's year-round swim season.
