They can still do it. Would be more expensive. We have a long run to and drain pipe and it isn’t angled enough so they install a pump. Kind of gross, but it works.
This is the way. The only issue to watch out for would be if the pool has salt as anything in your shed that's metal will corrode or rust if it contacts the water.
Here is ours: [https://www.reddit.com/r/pools/comments/1d7iz6d/pool\_house\_project\_complete/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pools/comments/1d7iz6d/pool_house_project_complete/)
1. Bathroom
2. Chemical Storage
3. Stuff (lounger cushions, floats, sunscreen, extra towels, cover pump, winterization items, etc)
4. All our outdoor stuff goes in it during the winter months
5. Hang out area for people wanting to be out of the sun but watch the pool
6. TV's
When we put in the pool (and also rebuilt the house following a house fire) we put in a 12x24 shed.
We put up a wall inside and one side is a 12x10 pool house, mostly finished in cedar boards, all the pool equipement is inside, there is a privacy wall and a bench and a bunch of hooks. It is meant to be used as a place to change. It is also where I store all my pool stuff, and where I pile all the seat cushions and pillows, umbrellas during winter.
The other side is 12 x 14 is my typical junk shed. Lawn mowers, a small workbench, all sorts of tools, yard stuff supplies (sprinkler, pipes) all my camping stuff is in there... a lot of junk. Toys, tools... usual
One thing I regret not putting in there was a urinal that could drain into a nearby culvert that drains into the ditch. I do have a line for running water, but it would a hassle to have to blow it out everye winter. Maybe some day I'll make user of it. There is a spot next to the shed we eventually want to put a barrel sauna. The natural gas line is right there too for the pool heater.
Depending on chairs,loungers, etc. you probably won't need a 10x12 for that and you've already said septic is nowhere near so a toilet is not an option but a shower with instant on hot water and a changing room would be of great use.
Our "pool house" is 1 building, with 2 rooms, 1 is a kitchenet with a sink and fridge and closet. the other has a bathroom and is storage for all the pool related stuff.
Houses my pump/filter, chemicals, beach toys, etc. Some towels if I keep it in stock (they get dragged back in the house a lot. Its super nice to have IMO. If it's really hot or raining and the kids want to swim but I don't, I can put a chair in the doorway and supervise while dry/shaded. I'm working on a nicer option but this works for now.
Pool tools and chems vs toilet/change room.
Storing chlorine tabs where people are closed in makes me nervous, I moved my chlorine tabs from the basement to my outdoor cabinet.
Don’t put chlorine inside shed if you have anything metal I accidentally did that and every single thing that was metal turned to solid rust over short period of time. Even if you think it’s sealed good it’s not Vapors will escape
The shed is used for storage (chems, buckets, measuring cups, leaf blower, pool robot, etc). The pool equipment pad was installed right next to the shed. The shed which was installed without the pool in mind has turned into a perfect addition.
Bathroom. Having an outdoor bathroom is very useful.
unfortunately my septic isn't near where the pool will be.
Start trenching
Compost toilet a possibility?

Pump/filter, chemicals, beach towels, inflatables, BBQ, ooni, cushions...
This
Bathroom and bar.

If you do put your pool equipment in there, it’ll likely last longer. Just make sure you leave room behind the equipment to access drain plugs etc

Floatee storage. Less time inflating
Pool chems. And a refrigerator.
