What Florida DBPR says
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation lists cleaning pools as an example of work that doesn't require a DBPR license, and repairing or replacing a pool pump as work that does. DBPR also tells businesses to check local requirements for work that doesn't need a state license. See Florida DBPR: what requires a license.
What that means for you
| Work | Who does it |
|---|---|
| Cleaning, skimming, brushing, vacuuming | Pool service company |
| Water testing and routine balancing | Pool service company |
| Pump, motor, heater and automation repair or replacement | Licensed pool/spa contractor |
| Electrical work at the equipment pad | Licensed electrical contractor, such as Uniform Electric |
| Gas heater connections | Licensed contractor |
How Uniform handles it
Uniform Pool Service cleans and tests, documents what it observes, and refers licensed repairs. Verify any contractor at DBPR.
