Licensing for Swimming Pool Builder
Licensing for Pool and Spa Maintenance & Repair

Continuing Education for Providers and License Holders

Note:  The Swimming Pool Assembler's license for the installation of “new” above ground pools or spas is not required due to a 2017 legislative change in the Connecticut General Statutes.

As a result of this change Persons and Companies that install “new” above ground pool’s now only need to be registered as a Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor to offer new above ground pool and spa installation to home owners of existing home’s. www.ct.gov/dcp

The maintenance and repair of above ground pools or spas still require the swimming pool and spa maintenance and repair license types of SP-1 and SP-2 for any work performed after the initial installation.
