Pretium Pool Kit

Yes, the Pretium pool is specifically designed for DIY assembly. While it is a significant project that requires a level surface and a few helping hands, the kit includes all the necessary components to get the structure built without needing professional installation.

The 2-speed pump is designed for energy efficiency, allowing you to run it on a lower speed for daily filtration and a higher speed for vacuuming or after heavy use. You will need to periodically clean the filter element and monitor the pressure gauge to ensure optimal flow.

The uni-bead liner is designed to hook directly over the top of the pool wall, making it easier to install than traditional overlap liners. You won't need specialized tools, but you will need to ensure the liner is smoothed out properly against the walls and floor before filling the pool to prevent wrinkles.

The most critical step is ensuring your installation site is perfectly level and cleared of any sharp debris, rocks, or roots that could puncture the liner. We recommend installing the pool on a firm, compacted base or a layer of sand to protect the pool floor and ensure structural stability.

Yes, the kit includes a comprehensive set of essentials, including a skimmer net, pool brush, vacuum head, hose, and pole. These tools cover the basics of keeping the water clear and the surfaces clean, though you will need to purchase your own pool chemicals separately to maintain water balance.

A 52-inch wall is taller than the standard 48-inch option, providing a deeper swimming experience that is generally more comfortable for adults. This extra depth also helps keep the water cleaner for longer, as it is less prone to debris accumulation compared to shallower models.
