No. You can use your own installer or ask us for a referral, which depends on your location and installer availability. You hire and pay the installer directly, and we support them with product information. Installers and pool builders can also contact our trade team.

Yes, with the right site plan. Every placement needs a suitable base, drainage away from the container and access to the equipment bay. Partly buried and in-ground placements also need a designed excavation and a plan for groundwater and the soil around the container, so ask us for current installation requirements before you plan one, and have your installer (and an engineer where your site or local rules call for one) design the base and excavation. Rooftops and unusual sites need a structural engineer first. Compare placements on delivery and installation.

Usually, yes. Most cities and counties require a building permit for a pool of this depth, and the electrical work needs its own permit and inspection; pool wiring, bonding and ground-fault protection follow the electrical code your area has adopted. Many places, Florida included, also require a safety barrier such as a fence, alarms or a safety cover. Rules differ by city and county, so confirm them with your local building department or your installer before you order. We can provide the product information permit reviewers commonly request.

A licensed electrician must connect the pool using the electrical requirements supplied for your equipment package. Heating and other options may change those requirements. Confirm the final specification before preparing the electrical service.

Shipping weight and site-load requirements are provided for your specific pool before delivery.

A nominal 20 × 8 ft container pool. Dimensions are approximate. The 52 in exterior height and the 45 in water depth are different measurements. Final outside dimensions, shipping weight and site-load requirements for your specific pool are provided before delivery; confirm them before building decks, pads or enclosures. Every published dimension is on the specifications page.

About 2,400 gallons, estimated from the approximate dimensions (roughly 20,000 lb of water). The exact capacity and filled weight of your pool are confirmed before delivery, so your installer can plan the base and fill.

ReadyPool is one pool model with a white fiberglass interior. The standard factory exterior finish is included in the pool price. The paint option (+$350 per pool) finishes the container exterior in Charcoal, White, Navy or Sage. Any other color is quoted separately by our sales team before you order.

For each pool: an electric heater ($3,650) or a gas heater ($7,650), not both; a salt cell ($1,350); and the paint option ($350). Prices are per pool plus applicable sales tax. Gas and electrical connections are made by your licensed contractors. See options on the pool page.

A ReadyPool is a fiberglass pool built inside a steel shipping container and delivered as one finished unit with its equipment installed. It is smaller and shallower than most in-ground pools, comes in one size and needs a crane and a prepared base, but it can sit above ground, partly buried or in-ground. Read the container pool comparison.

No. The pool is shallow. Never dive or jump in headfirst.
