Plunge Pools 365 Days a Year

July 17, 2019

When you think of a Plunge Pool you may think of a vessel of water that can only be used for a few months of the year. Whereas this may have been the case years ago, it isn’t anymore! Technology has come a long way over the last several years which now means that you can use your Plunge Pool all year round. Imagine it being the middle of winter and getting home from work to a nice, hot, relaxing Plunge Pool- well now you can!

So what do you need to use your Plunge Pool all year round? Find out below.

Heating

Heating is a massive part when it comes to owning a pool, spa or swim spa, so why should a Plunge Pool be any different? 

At Plunge Pools Direct we find that 95% of our customers purchase a Heat Pump along with their Plunge Pool as they are more economical than other heating sources. If you have an existing gas line, another option would be a Gas Heater. We have multiple sizes available depending on what heat up time you would like (the bigger the Gas Heater, the quicker the heat up time).

In other cases, Solar might be an option. In the case where you would like to use Solar as well as a Gas Heater or a Heat Pump, don’t forget that you will need a Valve Actuator, a diverter which is used in cases where you have multiple heating sources.

Key features of Heat Pumps and Gas Heaters can be found below.

Hardcovers

In the case where you have purchased a heating source for your Plunge Pool, it is always recommended to purchase a Hardcover as well. Our Hardcovers have an actual hard top (as opposed to traditional pool covers which are soft) making it more heavy duty than a plastic hardcover that sits directly over the water. The hardcover will have a thick foam in between the vinyl which is essential to keeping the warm temperature inside the pool.

Whilst being UV and chemical resistant, our hardcovers are also anti-mould resistant, making it a must have for your Plunge Pool.

Hardcover benefits can be found below.

So as you can see, with just the addition of a good quality hardcover as well as an external heating source, your Plunge Pool can be used all year round.

    • Lead Times

      Pool delivery times can vary depending on your pool requirements (pool type, interior type & colour).

      Stock Pools  ready for immediate delivery can be delivered as soon as 5 business days after payment in full is received (conditions apply).

      For new standard builds allow 4-6 weeks* (wait times subject to change eg. peak season). Lead times can change on a daily basis, for accurately lead times it would be best to speak to our sales team on 03 9726 0756.

    • Custom Pools

      Our pools are cast from set moulds so the sizes and seating configurations of our pools are unable to change.

      We can however slightly modify them, for example having a Vanishing Edge on the pool.

      For those wanting a pool with seating all the way around, unfortunately we are unable to do this.

      However if you buy a pool without seating, you can organise your installer to do form work in the pool to the seating specifications of your choice and then pour the seating on site.

      The reason why we can’t do this at our production facility is because it would make the pool too heavy, making delivery too difficult to deliver.

    • Pool Sizes Available

      We have a large range of round and rectangle concrete Plunge Pools available ranging from 4,300 liters to 11,503 litres. Our range can be viewed here.

  • Equipment Packages/Upgrades

    At Plunge Pools Direct, we believe that each customer is different, which is why we have a range of Packages and Upgrades available.

    Our Plunge Pools are all sold in kit form, where you choose the Plunge Pool size, then build up from there. To make the process as easy as possible we have broken this down into easy segments.

    • Equipment Package Options

      We have 2 Equipment Packages available for our Plunge Pools.

      Our manual Econo Package includes everything you need you need to use your Plunge Pool.

      Our self automated Gold Package is designed for those with minimal time and therefore want to spend more time enjoying their pool and less time maintaining it.

    • Can I turn my Plunge Pool into a Spa?

      Yes! Any pool from our range with seating can be turned into a Spa instantly by adding these upgrades: 6 x Spa Jets with CTX500 Spa Jet Pump, Heater (Heat Pump, Gas or Solar* (*Melbourne Metro Only) and Cover.

    • Heating & Covers

      With Covers we have the option of a Soft Cover (recommended for those living outside of NSW due to better heat
      retention) or a Hard Cover.

    proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

    • Base Requirements

      All of our pools need to sit on a 100KPA base. This can be achieved by either a 100mm concrete slab or 100mm B grade crush rock (road base) compacted base. The base type required for your pool will be determined by your Soil Test/Structual Engineer.

    • Permits & Fencing

      All Plunge Pools require a permit. This can be organized through your installer* (location pending if referred by Plunge Pools Direct) or through your local building surveyor. As each shire is different, if you are an owner builder and looking at installing your pool yourself it would be best to speak to your local building surveyor re fencing regulations to ensure that your install complies.

    • Equipment Setup

      Equipment setup for your Plunge Pool will vary depending on equipment package chosen as well as if you have upgraded to a Plumbing Skid.

      For those purchasing a loose package (no plumbing skid) you will need to provide your plumber with a list of equipment so they can work out a layout plan.

      Product information can be found on our Customer Corner page.

      For a Plumbing Skid all equipment will come to site on a platform already pre-plumbed, pre-programmed, & pressure tested. All your plumber will need to do is connect via suction and return.

    • Delivery

      All pools will be delivered to site via Flat Top truck to site only.

      It is the customer’s responsibility to supply a franna or a crane to unload. Pricing for delivery to site will vary depending on factors such as pool type, delivery location (we deliver Australia wide) and delivery timeframe.
