     <P ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (&#147;Section 145&#148;) provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made,
parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person
was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or
director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which
such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. </P>

civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director

in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P></TD>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which
have been filed by SCP Pool Corporation (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are
incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The
Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K;
(b)
All other reports filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by

(c)
The

All documents filed by the Company
with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 subsequent to the date of this Registration
Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware ("Section 145") provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made,
parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person
was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation's best interests except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or
director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which
such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.
The Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides for the indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Section
145.
In that regard, the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the Company shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
or officer or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer or employee of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
The Company has insurance policies
in effect covering all of the Company's directors and officers in certain
instances where by law they may not be indemnified by the Company.
Item 7.

Not applicable.

Consent
of Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent, Carrère & Denègre, L.L.P. (included in Exhibit 5).
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act")
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Covington, State of
Louisiana, on August 9,  2002.
