Pool Side Slot Drain installation Project Case Study | Vodaland Canada

As a contracting company, we are always looking for solutions that make our customers happy without breaking the bank. That is exactly where the Vodaland slot drain system comes in. We reached out months in advance to gather as much information as possible. I even asked for a small sample, which they sent over without hesitation so we could verify the quality firsthand.

The right materials for the right environment

For this specific project, we utilized two different types of systems: the stainless steel wall slot and the regular slot drain system. We opted for the stainless steel units because the installation was going around a pool and up against the house foundation. Our customers wanted a guarantee that they wouldn't see any rust or corrosion in the future.

The quality of the stainless steel is top notch. It is 316-grade stainless, which our research confirmed is the gold standard for these types of environments. The finish is a beautiful brushed stainless, not that cheap, overly shiny look you often see elsewhere.

To ensure safety, we also chose the ADA heel-proof gratings in the "Modern" design for the pool area. This was a specific request from the homeowner to ensure guests in high heels could walk around without any risk of tripping or getting caught.

A seamless installation process

Logistics can make or break a project, so we were thrilled when everything arrived two days ahead of schedule. This allowed us to plan the layout in record time. During the installation, we utilized the mounting brackets, which provided a perfect level guarantee. We were able to complete the install with a single pour, and just like that, the job was done.

Why customer service makes the difference

The end result was amazing and the customers could not be happier with the look. However, the real standout for us as a plumbing contractor was the customer service. In this industry, it is often difficult to get a hold of someone who can actually provide technical help.

The team at Vodaland truly understands the needs of the trade. They were patient, walked us through the specific installation steps, and remained available for every call. We have already returned for four more projects and will not go anywhere else for our drainage needs.
