Pool Renovation & Retrofit

Guides for renovating existing pools and upgrading equipment — scope planning, plumbing retrofits, resurfacing coordination and adding new systems to old pools.

Renovation projects work within the constraints of an existing shell, deck and plumbing network. These guides cover scoping a renovation, sequencing trades, upgrading equipment and retrofitting systems such as automatic covers and automation.

Use the renovation planning guide to set scope before you open a quote. If a cover is part of the work, read new pool versus retrofit cover and undertrack versus toptrack.

Equipment upgrades should still follow the system overview so a new pump or filter is sized against the existing plumbing, not in isolation.
