This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to

install precast concrete swimming pools (precast pools). A precast pool must have a total mass not greater than 12,000 kg (delivered weight). Products of a greater mass are not considered a precast pool.

It includes preparing for and installation of filtration, circulation, heating and lighting systems.

This unit reflects the role of those who are responsible for the installation process and the management of excavation and heavy lifting equipment to complete the installation. It applies in a range of contexts:

• private swimming pools
• public swimming pools, including:
  • hotels, motels and apartments.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks, and their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
