At PoolForce, we know the magic that a perfect pool can add to your backyard. A plunge pool is an amazing way to achieve that magic in a compact and budget-friendly way. In this in-depth guide, we’re going to unlock everything you need to know about plunge pools, from their sizes and uses to the ultimate question of DIY vs professional installation.

What Exactly Is a Plunge Pool?

Let’s cut to the chase: a plunge pool is not your typical Olympic-size swimming pool. It’s a compact version designed for those with limited space but unlimited dreams. The pool can range from 6.5ft-10ft in width and 10ft-22ft in length. That’s the perfect size to fit in most residential backyards. Whether you want it built in-ground or prefer an above-ground version, we customize it to meet your space and design requirements. An example is the Milan Plunge Pool Model by Latham Pools, a fiberglass manufacturer.

Why Consider a Plunge Pool?

The primary reason most people consider installing the magnificent pool is the space efficiency. However, the benefits go beyond just size. Unlike a large swimming pool, this type of pool offers more flexibility when it comes to heating. You can warm the water up or keep it cool depending on your preferences.

Health Benefits

But let’s not forget the health benefits. The water resistance in plunge pools makes them a superb choice for low-impact water aerobics and resistance workouts. After a tiring day, or a sauna session, plunging into your very own pool offers a quick and refreshing cooldown.

How Deep is Deep Enough?

When it comes to depth, plunge pools offer a unique advantage. There is no hard and fast rule on how deep your pool should be. You can customize the depth anywhere between 4-8ft, depending on your needs. If you’re into water workouts, you might prefer a deeper pool. Conversely, if you’re looking for a wading area to relax, a shallower pool might be your go-to.

To DIY or Not to DIY?

One of the most commonly asked questions is whether a plunge pool can be a DIY project. While the answer is technically “yes,” we strongly recommend against it. Installing a plunge pool involves various technical aspects such as digging, leveling, plumbing, and backfilling, all of which are best handled by professionals.

If you’re interested in installing a plunge pool, look no further than our expert services in fiberglass pools, concrete pools, we work closely with other credible brands such as Latham pools and Imagine Pools.

Plunge pools are generally more affordable than their larger counterparts, but the costs can add up depending on customization. If budgeting is a concern for you, we offer various financing options to make your dream pool a reality.
