Pool equipment installation, premium standard
Most pool equipment installation in Sarasota is "swap the broken part, leave the rest, hope for the best." We design the equipment pad as a system: variable-speed pump matched to the right plumbing, salt cell sized for the gallons, automation wired to the panel that already exists. The result is a pad that is quieter, cheaper to run, and still working when the warranty ends.
The cost of waiting
A 12-year-old single-speed pump in a Sarasota pool burns about $90 of electricity per month. A modern variable-speed pump on the same pool burns $20 to $35. The difference is real money, and it compounds every billing cycle the old pump stays on the pad. New pool equipment installation is not a luxury for most homeowners. It is a payback calculation.

Behind the cabinet door
Most equipment pads in Sarasota look like a parts pile someone glued together. Ours look like a system. Tap the door to slide it open and see the difference.
Real pad we rebuilt in Bradenton. Same pump location, same filter pad, but the system behind it is rebuilt as one unit. Owner's electric bill came down on the first cycle.
Three packages
Most equipment-pad upgrades fall into one of three packages. We will tell you which one fits your pool size, your budget, and how long you plan to own the home.
Essential
$1,200to $2,400
For homeowners who need the pad working again this week, on a budget. Single-component swap, plumbing reused, no automation upgrade.
Recommended
$3,400to $5,200
The package most Sarasota homeowners pick. Premium pump matched to the pool, full plumbing rebuild, basic smart control. Pays for itself in two to three years.
Best ROI for most pools
Premier
$6,200to $8,500
Full smart automation, heat pump, color LED lighting, and the highest-tier pump and cell. For homeowners who want to control the pool from a phone and never think about the pad again.
Pool equipment installation Sarasota homeowners ask about often comes down to one number: monthly run cost. The Recommended package usually drops that number from about $90 to about $30. See ENERGY STAR's variable-speed pump program for the underlying efficiency math.
The numbers
Florida law required variable-speed pumps on new pool installs starting July 2011 because the savings are that lopsided. The math below uses the published efficiency curves and the standard Florida residential rate of $0.14 per kWh, not a number we cannot back up.
Old single-speed pump
$90/ month
New variable-speed pump
$28/ month
Monthly savings
$62
Pump pays itself back in 24 months. After that, pure savings against the old pump's bill.
How an install works
Sam comes to the property. He measures the pool, photographs the existing pad, reads the panel, checks plumbing diameters, and asks how you actually use the pool. The $65 covers the visit and the written report, and it's credited back toward the install if you book the work. The report is yours to keep, even if you go with someone else.
Within 48 hours you get a written quote: parts, plumbing, electrical, labor, and disposal of the old equipment. We recommend the package that fits your pool, your usage, and your budget, and we explain the trade-offs. No upselling.
Once you approve, we order the equipment direct from the factory. Most installs are scheduled within 5 to 7 days. We text you the install date, the start time, and the technician's name. Sam himself runs every install over $4,000.
We isolate the pad, remove old equipment, rebuild plumbing, install new equipment, prime the system, set chemistry, and test every component under load. We clean up the pad and dispose of the old equipment. You see the pad before we leave, working.
If automation is part of the install, Sam connects the controller to your home Wi-Fi, walks you through the app on your phone, and sets the schedules. You get a printed run-book covering every component on the pad.
Why install with Sundays
Sam runs every install personally. The pad is designed as a system, not a parts list. The warranty covers our installation work, not just the components.
Big pool companies rotate techs through your route. Yours could be a different person every visit, none of whom know your equipment. We assign a single technician to your pool. They learn the pump, the gate latch, and the dog's name.
Most pool services are a black box: the water is somehow clean, an invoice arrives at the end of the month. With us, you get a photo and the full chemistry numbers every visit. Trust by default, not on faith.
Including pool work for celebrity homes in Los Angeles before moving home to Florida. The standards he learned on a $500,000 pool in Beverly Hills are the same standards he holds on a $20,000 pool in Bradenton.
Pool people work every day of the year, and most never see their kids on a weekend. Samuel built this company so his crew gets one real day with their families. You get six days of crystal-clear care, plus a weekend to enjoy it.
If your water is not swim-ready by the weekend, we come back Monday at no extra charge until it is. No invoices for any service that did not deliver clear water. We stand on the work.

Sundays Pools does great work! Easy to get a hold of and actually calls back. His pool repair is reliable and his pool light and equipment installation is well worth it and priced very well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, truthful pool repair and maintenance work.

Had an outstanding experience with Sundays Pools. From start to finish, Sam was incredibly responsive. Sam's knowledge and expertise really stood out. It is rare to find someone that combines professionalism with a genuine willingness to educate the customer. Pricing was solid and transparent with no surprises.
