Pools are expensive to build and hard to maintain; therefore, many families refrain from having one. In addition, they require a large block area, which is unavailable in some Aussie homes. As a result, it paved the path for people to consider building a plunge pool. If you’re considering building your very own plunge pool, then there are things to consider, like how much they cost. 

Here are some FAQs that need an answer before you think about building one; you need to be well-versed before making a decision.

Is a small pool worth it?

Yes – it’s worth it! Two of the advantages that stand out most are that building a concrete plunge pool is much cheaper and also faster. Less money is spent on contractors, excavation, plumbing, accessories, materials like concrete, vinyl or fibreglass, etc. It’s easier to maintain and much cheaper to upgrade. It can be designed to fit any space and still include the same amenities as larger pools. Building a small pool is a good investment because of its apparent advantages; a plunge pool has excellent potential.

What size of backyard do people need for a plunge pool?

Any backyard works for a plunge pool, whether large or small. Because of its small size, a pool plunge gives better access to a larger backyard for everybody to enjoy. It can also be a place to barbeque with friends or family or a large area to plant a garden and enjoy the fresh air. 

How much can you get an entry-level plunge pool for? 

The first thing to consider is your budget and what is attainable with it. A concrete plunge pool on a regular block starts from $35,000. The price of constructing a swimming pool depends on its site, accessibility of the site (is it over or near an easement), loose soil condition, soil elevation, sloping backyard and retaining walls. You must first know the answer to these variables to see if it will be costly to your allowance and time. Overall a plunge pool is much cheaper and faster to construct than a regular swimming pool because of its size. Because of its more affordable price, it will be easier to customise or beautify and put on the luxurious tiles, vinyl liners, aggregate finish, coping, and water features like mini jets, pool pumps, filters, pool heaters and chillers, chlorinators, robotic cleaners, automated systems and much more.

Is a plunge pool easier to maintain?

Because of its relatively small size, it is much easier to maintain than regular pools. A budget-friendly plunge pool makes it a prime choice for people who want to have their private oasis. Less water is needed resulting in less time to fill, less water consumption, fewer chemicals and less filtration to keep the pool clean, thus a lot more time to enjoy the plunge pool. Lower electricity consumption for heating the pool in winter and cooling the pool (using a pool heat pump with a cooling function) in summer because of its smaller size and less water volume, and as a result of this, energy consumption and costs relating to electricity consumption are significantly reduced. It’s also much easier to clean because of its small dimension, making it faster and more doable, giving you more free time.

The plunge pool is for you; if you have a limited budget and space. And, also if your primary goal is to cool off and relax but want the benefits of a traditional pool on a smaller scale, then a plunge pool is an excellent investment.
