Thinking of getting a plunge pool for your home but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered.
Sapphire Spas is your go-to for Australian-made, high-quality spas, swim spas and plunge pools. We’ll guide you through everything to know about these versatile pools that combine the benefits of a pool and the soothing properties of a massage spa.
A plunge pool offers both fitness and leisure options. Equipped with swim jets, it creates a current allowing you to enjoy light swimming and hydrotherapy exercises in the comfort of your own space. While some traditional plunge pools can reach considerable depths, Sapphire plunge pools have a reasonable depth of 1300mm, ideal for both plunging and easy for maintenance.
Plunge pools offer a year-round alternative to traditional swimming pools with their efficient heating systems; you can keep the pool warm in winter and cool it down in summer. They also feature swim jets for light exercise or fun water play for kids.
Investing in a plunge pool is a significant choice that requires thoughtful planning. At Sapphire Spas, we're here to help you every step of the way, ensuring you pick a plunge pool that suits your needs, budget, and style preferences perfectly.
The first step in buying a plunge pool is to decide on a size. Plunge pools are generally more compact than swimming pools and range from small to medium and large.
Think about the available space and how much you want to allocate to your pool. A perfect plunge pool should seamlessly fit into your outdoor area, enhancing its charm without making the space look too busy or affecting its functionality.
These pools are great for families, as kids can practise swimming against the current while parents can watch while relaxing in the recliner seats with the massage jets. Adults can also engage in a refreshing workout.
These medium-sized plunge pools offer ample room for relaxation, hydrotherapy, and water exercises.
More space, more fun. With their 6.0-metre size, large plunge pools, like the myWorkout6.0mPLUNGE and myWatersedge6.0mPLUNGE, provide extended space to engage in activities like swimming, water yoga and aqua exercises.
