Pool permits in Ellisville

If you’re adding a pool in Ellisville, plan on a building permit, and likely separate electrical and plumbing permits for the equipment. Cities in the area also require a safety barrier that meets code — a fence with a self-latching gate — along with setbacks from lot lines. Ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and most repairs are permit-free. When in doubt about a new install or big equipment change, confirm with the Ellisville building department first; we’re glad to walk you through it.

Ellisville pool maintenance tips

• Run your pump 8–12 hours a day through Ellisville’s hot, humid summers.
• Backwash or clean the filter when pressure climbs 8–10 psi over normal.
• Hold pH in the 7.4–7.6 range so chlorine works and eyes don’t sting.
• Clear leaves off the cover and deck so they don’t blow into the water.
• Test your water 1–2 times a week and keep chlorine around 1–3 ppm.
• Brush the walls and skim the surface weekly to stop algae before it starts.
