01 · The complete pad
Everything an equipment pad actually needs.
The big boxes are the easy part. Installs stall on the $12 fitting nobody ordered. Here's the full checklist we build every quote from.
Don't want to figure out which of these you need? That's the point of this page.
Send us the project02 · Before you orderHave us check mine
Five things we check that returns are made of.
Nearly every equipment return we see comes down to one of these. We run them on every parts list before it goes out.
Voltage
115 V or 230 V at the pad? Most pumps and heat pumps are one or the other — and some are switchable. We match the unit to what your breaker gives you.
Plumbing size
1.5″ vs 2″ pipe changes the pump you should buy and the unions you need. Send a photo of the existing pad and we'll tell you.
Gas type & line
Natural gas vs propane, and whether the line can feed a 400k BTU heater. Wrong one and the heater never fires right.
Flow match
Pump GPM vs filter and heater max flow. Push too much water through a heater and you'll crack the exchanger — and the warranty won't cover it.
Brand compatibility
Automation systems, salt cells and heaters don't all talk to each other. We tell you what pairs and what needs an adapter kit.
03 · How it works
From photos to a finished pad in three steps.

How to find a good pool installer on Angi.
Prefer to do it yourself? Angi (formerly Angie's List) is the easiest place to start. Here's how we'd use it — and the filters that separate good installers from the rest.
1
Search the right category
Go to angi.com, enter your ZIP and search "pool equipment installation" or "swimming pool heater install or replace". Don't search "pool builder" — those companies build pools, they don't want a pump swap.
2
Filter to 4★ and up
Sort by rating and ignore anything under 4 stars or under 20 reviews. Then open the reviews and check the dates: you want several from the last 6 months, not a 4.8 built on reviews from 2019.
3
Look for the Angi Certified badge
Certified pros have passed an owner background check and hold current licensing. "Angi Approved" is the tier below. Neither replaces your own licence check — but it's a fast first filter.
4
Read the 1–3★ reviews first
Every installer has a bad review. What matters is what it's about — no-shows and unreturned calls are a pattern; one grumpy customer over price is not. Check whether the company replied professionally.
5
Check photos for your kind of job
Scroll the project photos. You want to see equipment pads — pumps, heaters, plumbing — not just finished pools. If they've installed your brand (Pentair, Hayward, Raypak, AquaCal), even better.
6
Request quotes from three
Pick three, request quotes, and expect calls — Angi shares your number with everyone you select. Give each the same info: our parts list, your pad photos, gas / voltage details. That's how you get quotes you can actually compare.
7
Verify before you book
Ask for their licence number and certificate of insurance, and confirm both yourself (state licensing board for electrical / plumbing / gas; the insurer for the COI). Get the quote in writing with a start date. Never pay more than a deposit up front.
Angi is a third-party service; Pool Direct Supply isn't affiliated with it and doesn't guarantee any installer's work. Angi requires your contact details to view pros and will share them with the installers you select. Licensing rules for pool, gas and electrical work vary by state and city — check locally.

Installation, answered.
Do you install equipment yourselves?
No — we supply it and make sure it's right. We'll find you a vetted installer in your area for free if you need one (section 06), or show you how to find one on Angi yourself, or you can install it yourself with the guides above. Either way, sizing, compatibility and the parts list are on us.
Can I install a pool pump or filter myself?
Pumps, filters and salt cells are common DIY jobs if you're comfortable with PVC and the unit is being replaced like-for-like. Anything gas or high-voltage should be done by a licensed pro — and some manufacturers require it for warranty.
How long does a typical install take?
Pump or filter swap: 1–3 hours. Full pad replacement: a day. New gas heater: half a day plus the gas line work. Automation: half a day to a day depending on how many valves and lights you're controlling.
Should I repair or replace?
Rule of thumb: if the unit is over 8–10 years old and the repair is more than a third of a new one, replace — especially pumps, where a variable-speed unit pays for itself in energy. Send a photo of the label and we'll give you a straight answer.
How does the free installer search work?
Send us your ZIP and the job. We call local pool pros, check licence, insurance and recent reviews, and introduce you to two or three who'll quote it. We don't take a cut and you're not obliged to use any of them.
Do you ship to job sites?
Yes. Freight items ship curbside with liftgate on request; you can ship to your home, your installer's shop, or straight to the job.
Is the parts list really free?
Yes, whether you buy from us or not. Most people do because it's one delivery, free shipping, and the warranty is registered under an authorized dealer.
What if something doesn't fit?
If it's on a list we built and it doesn't fit, we make it right — replacement part, return, or a call with the installer to sort it. That's why we check compatibility first.
