Each plan is custom-made based on the pool’s size, shape, and specifications. We design the piping layout based on the original plan drawn by the customer’s architect or our team.The details of the plan, such as the size, type, and grade of the pipes, are all taken into consideration for the highest possible performance.
A PLAN FOR CONNECTING THE POOL
We can bring your pool vision to life with our superior knowledge of water engineering.
Custom plans
Piping layout
A filtration flow rate is determined by the size of the pool and the type and length of overflow. The drawing shows precisely where each part, pipe or fitting has to be placed. This precise placement of the pipes is crucial to ensure the ideal filtration flow rate is achieved and the water is directed through the filter at the optimal speed for the most efficient filtration.
A unique skill set
Creating hydraulic plans for a pool requires specific technical expertise that cannot be provided by automated online solutions. This expertise can only be acquired through professional training, making the process of creating a successful plan more complicated and time-consuming. Furthermore, we have extensive knowledge of the various options and configurations available for overflow pool plumbing systems.
Those who want to build an infinity or a zero-edge pool know pipes can’t be installed randomly.
It’s like a jigsaw puzzle – each piece has to fit exactly in its place for the final result to be perfect.
We create the connection plan for your pool
We’ll make your plan unique, like all our services. Not only that, but we will tailor it to the specific needs of your pool, considering things like size, shape, usage, and its frequency of use.
Using a master plan made by your architect or by us, we draw the piping layout. The plan isn’t a standard diagram, it’s an installation drawing. It allows identifying the exact location of each component, the distances between them, and the necessary connections to ensure proper water flow and circulation.
What elements do we include?
- PVC or stainless-steel parts to seal in the masonry of the pool: the walls and the bottom. These are the inlets, drains, and vacuum inlets.
- PVC pipes include their diameter and their thickness.
- PVC fittings: elbows, tees, etc.
- Underwater lights
- Pipes attached to equipment such as counter-current swimming, Jacuzzi benches, or in-floor cleaning systems.
Basically, the system of pipes, fittings, valves, and plumbing fixtures used to circulate water to and from a pool.

How do we design the hydraulic system of your pool?
1. The first step is calculating the filtration flow rate based on the volume of the pool and the type and length of overflow; from this, we determine the number and positioning of the return inlets to ensure an even distribution of water throughout the pool. Although the cleaning robot tends to replace manual pool cleaners, we always install a vacuum socket; you never know!
2.Using the ground plan, we draw each pipe and each part that needs sealing. Drawing the pipes and parts accurately is crucial – mistakes can have serious consequences. To make this process easier, we use different colors to distinguish between suction and discharge networks.
3. By providing the dimensions of the connecting pipes and tees, installers can better understand the flow of water. This will enable them to ensure that each nozzle receives the same amount of water pressure, allowing for a more efficient, balanced system.
The measurements can be easily transferred to the walls or bottom of the pool, which makes the installation process even simpler. Of course, the layout of the pipes considers the position of the pump room in relation to the pool.
Pipes connected to parts embedded in the walls are shown in a section of the pool. Same with underwater lights, whose locations are clearly marked.
The pool piping serves what purpose?
Pool piping ensures that water can flow freely from the pool to the filtration system and back, thus allowing the pool to be maintained in an efficient and effective manner. Overflow pools piping network create a closed circuit. This ensures that the pool can be kept clean and efficient without having to constantly add and remove water.
Why pool builders do not produce hydraulic plans ?
The answer is twofold: most pool builders don’t possess engineering expertise, and they don’t need drawings. Why not? Since the same filtration scheme is used every time, there is no need for detailed drawings. The pool builders know the general rules and regulations of pool construction and that, together with the experience of the workers, makes engineering expertise unnecessary. In addition, skimmer pools, which are the majority of pools, have fewer pipes and only have a filter and a pump.
Create a tranquil and luxurious haven
Bring your dream pool to life with a talented team that specializes in custom infinity edges, deck-level designs, water features, spas, and more. Our team's expertise and experience will give you the confidence to pursue even the most ambitious of pool designs.
The pool connection plans provide numerous benefits
With clear, step-by-step instructions, our plans make it simple for anyone to hook up the pool, regardless of their plumbing knowledge or experience. Many of our customers have been pleasantly surprised to find that the process is not as daunting as they thought. They have been able to put their own personal touch on their pool.
Therefore, the design of the piping gives the owner the choice of who installs it: a pool builder, a plumber, or a craftsman. Any solution is possible. As a final goal, we aim to obtain the most savings on the pool filtration installation.
In addition, it’s always handy to have precise pipe network plans. With the right plans, owners can confidently purchase the proper equipment to meet their needs.
Beyond the piping layout drawing
The next obvious step is to map out a clear plan for the pump room. Starting with the building plan and continuing with the connection plan, we draw the installation of the plant room:
- Location of the filter unit, i.e., the filter and the pump.
- Positioning of each valve and each connection.
- And much more.
Here's what we do
Our 30 years of experience building infinity pools and deck level pools has taught us that plans aren’t always enough.
Therefore, we’re here to help you all the way through.
