Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're wondering if a prefab pool will work on your property, what installation involves, or which collection is right for you, start here.

Prefab & Sloped Lot Pools

  • Yes. Many sloped properties can accommodate a pool, depending on the grade, soil conditions, access, drainage, structural requirements, and proposed pool location. Elevated specializes in prefab and drop-in pool installations for these types of properties.

  • Yes, depending on the specific property. Hillside installations require careful consideration of grade, structural support, drainage, access, and placement — all of which we’re here to help you assess.

  • Potentially. The feasibility depends on the specific site and its structural and access requirements. Elevated evaluates each property individually to determine whether one of our pool systems is an appropriate fit.

  • A prefab pool is manufactured off-site and delivered to the property for installation. This means much of the pool construction is completed before the pool arrives at your home.

  • A drop-in pool is manufactured off-site and delivered once the installation site has been prepared. The pool is positioned within its prepared installation area and connected to the necessary systems.

  • Site preparation varies by property. Some installations may require excavation or other preparation depending on the grade, foundation, drainage, and pool placement.

Pool Cost & Value

  • There isn't one standard price. Cost depends on the pool model, size, configuration, features, site preparation, structural requirements, access, installation, and other project details.

    The best way to get a meaningful estimate is to start with your property and the pool you're considering.

  • Sometimes. The benefit of prefab construction is primarily the manufacturing and installation process. Total project cost depends on the pool, site preparation, structural requirements, access, equipment, and other project details.

  • Prefab construction can offer a more streamlined alternative to traditional on-site pool construction. The right choice depends on your property, project requirements, and priorities.

Ceramic Spa Collection

  • The Ceramic Spa Collection is a fully tiled spa collection designed for relaxation, recovery, and year-round use. It features integrated hydrotherapy, optional acrylic transparency walls, and indoor or outdoor installation options.

  • The Ceramic Spa Collection features customizable hydrotherapy jets designed for relaxation and recovery.

  • Yes. The collection is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, subject to the requirements of the specific installation.

  • The Ceramic Spa Collection is designed for all-season performance, including heat retention and resistance to temperature shifts.

  • Yes. The Ceramic Spa Collection can be installed as a standalone spa or paired with a pool from our Ceramic Pool Collection.

Ceramic Custom Collection

  • A custom ceramic pool is designed specifically for an individual property rather than selected from a predetermined collection of sizes and configurations. Elevated's Ceramic Custom Collection considers the site's architecture, terrain, elevation, orientation, views, and intended use as part of the design.

  • Yes. The Ceramic Custom Collection is specifically suited to projects where terrain, elevation, structural conditions, or placement require a site-specific approach. Feasibility and engineering requirements depend on the individual property.

  • Yes. Ceramic Custom pools and spas feature fully tiled finishes.

  • Yes. Custom acrylic transparency can be incorporated into the design, including straight, curved, and multi-sided applications depending on the project.

  • Yes. The pool and spa can be designed together as part of the overall site and architectural plan.

  • The Ceramic Custom Collection combines site-specific design with components manufactured off-site before installation. The exact construction and installation approach depends on the project.

  • Start by telling us about your property and what you're envisioning. Photos, plans, site information, and inspiration are all helpful, but you don't need to have a finished concept before reaching out.

Prefab Pool Installation & Process

  • The timeline varies by project. Site preparation, access, structural work, delivery, and installation all affect the schedule. Because the pool itself is manufactured off-site, the pool construction does not all have to happen at the property.

  • Foundation and structural requirements vary by pool and site. The appropriate support system should be determined based on the specific property and installation.

  • Yes. Elevated Luxury Pools coordinates the installation process, including site planning, structural preparation, delivery, and installation.

  • Site preparation depends on the property and the selected pool. It may include preparing the installation area, addressing structural support and drainage, and planning access for delivery and installation.

  • Start with a conversation. We'll learn about your property, your setting, and what you're hoping to create, then help you understand which pool and installation approach may be right for you.

Ceramic Pools & Features

  • The Ceramic Collection features a fully tiled finish, engineered structural construction, a flat-bottom design, and optional acrylic transparency walls. It is designed for indoor and outdoor applications and can be configured with luxury spa options.

  • Yes. The Ceramic Pool Collection features factory-set ceramic tile with seamless alignment. The fully tiled finish is part of the pool's manufactured construction.

  • The Ceramic Collection is engineered for durability, with a patented structural core combining thermoplastic and FRP construction. The collection is designed for strength, flexibility, and longevity.

  • Options vary by collection and configuration. Depending on the pool, options can include different configurations, fully tiled finishes, acrylic transparency walls, spa features, and other design elements.

  • The Ceramic Collection offers optional acrylic transparency walls in straight or curved formats. Availability depends on the specific pool configuration.

  • Yes. Elevated works with lake homes and lakefront properties, including properties with slopes and changing grades. Each site is evaluated individually to determine the appropriate installation approach.

  • Potentially. Mountain properties can present unique considerations around grade, access, drainage, and structural requirements. Elevated evaluates the individual property to determine whether one of our pool systems is appropriate.

  • Potentially. The slope, access, drainage, structural requirements, and proposed pool location all need to be evaluated before determining whether a particular installation is feasible.

  • Yes. Pool placement is part of the planning process, and we consider the home, landscape, views, and intended use of the space.

Lake House & Mountain Property Pools

Technology & Construction

  • FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Polymer. It is an engineered composite material used in the structural shell of PENTARM POOLS ceramic pools and spas, designed for strength, flexibility, fatigue resistance, and long-term durability.

  • Both offer the premium look of a fully tiled pool. The key difference is how they are built.

    PENTARM POOLS ceramic pools are manufactured and tiled in a controlled environment before being delivered for installation, rather than constructed and finished almost entirely on site. This allows for greater consistency, precision, and reduced installation timelines compared with traditional tiled concrete construction. Authorized Dealer Marketing Gui…

  • Controlled manufacturing allows structural fabrication, curing, dimensional verification, and tile installation to happen under consistent conditions before the pool reaches the property.

    That helps reduce variables related to weather and on-site workmanship while supporting more precise construction and finish quality.

  • The tile system uses hydraulic mortar to create the bond between the ceramic tile and the pool structure. Installation and curing take place in controlled manufacturing conditions.

  • PENTARM POOLS ceramic structures are supported by a 15-year structural manufacturer’s warranty. Specific warranty terms, coverage, and exclusions apply.

  • ICC-ES is an independent organization that evaluates building products and systems against applicable codes and standards.

    PENTARM POOLS technical materials identify the structural system as ICC-ES accredited. I’d use the exact designation from the final certificate or evaluation report anywhere you make this claim publicly.

  • It can. Because much of the pool structure and finishing work is completed before the pool arrives, the on-site installation process can be more streamlined than traditional tiled concrete construction. PENTARM POOLS specifically positions reduced installation timelines as one of the advantages of its ceramic collections.
