Frequently Asked Questions About Plunge Pools

What is a Compass Plunge pool and who is it for?

The Plunge is designed specifically for courtyards, townhouses, and smaller backyards. Ranging from a compact 2.8m up to 6.2m in length, it gives Kiwi homeowners all the lifestyle benefits of a private pool without taking over the whole outdoor space.

How deep is the Plunge pool?

The range features two main depth profiles. The smaller 2.8m and 3.8m flat-bottom models sit at a consistent 1.2m depth-ideal for relaxing, stand-and-soak socialising, and easy excavation. Larger models drop down to 1.65m-1.74m for a deeper, more immersive swim for adults.

Does the Plunge have any seating built in?

Yes! Flat-bottom models work like a spacious mini-pool or large spa, offering plenty of floor space to stand, sit, and chat. Larger models feature a wide bench seat along one side and step ledges at the ends, creating a comfy spot to relax or install optional hydrotherapy jets.

Is a Plunge pool only for cooling off, or can I swim laps in it?

While smaller models are built for soaking and playing, you can add swim jets or tethered harness systems to transform even a compact Plunge into a great stationary workout pool. Larger options offer enough length for casual lap swimming and water exercise.

How much space do I actually need for a Plunge pool?

Very little! The smallest 2.8m model has a tiny footprint that easily fits into tight courtyards, side yards, or small urban blocks. Your local Compass dealer can check your boundary setbacks to see how to tuck one neatly into your space.

Is a Plunge pool good for hydrotherapy or cold therapy?

It is ideal for both. Thanks to the smaller water volume, heating or cooling a Plunge is fast and energy-efficient. Many owners use them for post-workout cold plunges, post-sauna refreshes, or warm, soothing hydrotherapy using our optional jet upgrades.

Can the Plunge pool be heated?

Yes. Because you are heating a much smaller volume of water than a full-sized pool, bringing a Plunge up to warm, spa-like temperatures is incredibly energy-efficient, making year-round swimming in New Zealand much more affordable.

Will a Plunge pool add value to my property?

Absolutely, especially in urban areas where land is at a premium. A stylish Plunge pool paired with quality decking or paving adds serious curb appeal to homebuyers, and is a massive drawcard if you run a holiday rental or Airbnb.

Is the Plunge pool available with Compass's self-cleaning system?

Yes. The Vantage in-floor cleaning system is fully compatible with the Plunge range. It keeps the water circulating, eliminates cold spots, and sweeps away debris automatically so your pool stays crystal clear with minimal effort.

What colours and finishes are available for the Plunge pool?

You can choose from our full Bi-Luminite and Vivid color ranges. Because of the compact footprint, deep tones like sapphire or royal blue look especially striking, turning a small pool into a dramatic landscape feature.
