Plunge pools are growing in popularity in our homes compared to large swimming pools.
In-ground plunge pools have traditionally been a luxury item in the home, offering the chance for a quick dip but having limited functionality. People used them to cool off in the summer heat or as a refreshing way to end an exercise session.
All that has changed along with the price.
The latest plunge pools are much more affordable than ever before and can deliver more functionality than a traditional plunge pool. This is why they have risen in popularity compared to large swimming pools.
So, what are the advantages of choosing a plunge pool over a large swimming pool?
- Space efficiency
Plunge pools require less space than large pools, making them ideal for smaller properties or urban environments where space is limited. Most plunge pools are 2–5 metres long, 2–3 metres wide, and approximately 1.2 metres deep. - Cost-effectiveness
A smaller pool is cheaper to run than a large one. They are generally more affordable to install and maintain compared to larger pools, saving you money in the long run on pool chemicals, cleaning equipment and power. - Energy efficiency
A heated pool makes it available for use year-round. Due to their smaller size, plunge pools require less energy to heat and maintain, resulting in lower electricity bills while maximising their use. - Quick heating
Plunge pools heat up faster than larger pools, allowing you to enjoy warmer water temperatures sooner, especially during cooler seasons. You can heat our plunge pools to 35 degrees Celsius. Our plunge pool models can be equipped with heating systems that can efficiently raise the water temperature to your desired level, providing comfortable warmth for swimming and relaxation. - Less water usage
Climate change is on everyone’s mind. Plunge pools use less water than traditional pools, which is beneficial for water conservation efforts, particularly in areas with water scarcity or drought restrictions. - Easy Maintenance
With fewer components and less water volume, plunge pools are easier and less costly to maintain, requiring less time and effort for cleaning and upkeep. - Versatility
Plunge pools can be used for various purposes, including relaxation, hydrotherapy, exercise and entertainment, despite their smaller size. Ask about above-ground options.
Overall, plunge pools offer a convenient and cost-effective alternative to large swimming pools, while still providing many of the same benefits and functionalities.
