Can I change the size of the pool?

What is the internal finish of the pool?

Does it come with coping tiles?

Coping tiles can easily be added to the pool, however, we don't sell them directly.

Can I tile my Plungie?

Yes, the Plungie can be tiled internally or externally. We don't offer tiling directly however, we can deduct $1500 from the pool price and provide a blank shell with no internal ecoFINISH. Either you or your builder/installer/tiler can then tile it for you to make your Plungie unique.

Are the pools fibreglass?

Every Plungie is made from completely concrete.

Does it come with heating?

Every Plungie comes with the pre-plumbed provisions for heating, however, the heater itself is an additional purchase.

What heating options can I use for my plungie?

Every Plungie can use an electric heat pump, gas heater or solar heating.

Can you have in-floor cleaning?

We don't offer in-floor cleaning as an option. The best thing for a Plungie is a robotic cleaner that can be purchased through a local equipment supplier.

Can I upgrade my equipment?

If you're wanting any upgrades outside of the standard equipment package we offer, the best thing to do is speak with Hayward or another supplier directly. 

I've seen photos of a glass window in the pool. Can I get a window too?

Due to the pre-cast nature of our pools, modifications such as windows are not possible. We only do windows for commercial activations and installations. 

Pricing

Is the advertised price fully installed?

The advertised price is for the pool only, as installation costs are always site and project-specific.

Besides the costs of the pool, what else do I have to pay for?

Additional costs that are always site and project-specific include crane hire, earthworks, equipment, and finishings. 

Does the freight price include crane hire?

Crane costs are always site and project-specific and will need to be quoted and managed by an external crane company. The freight costs ensure your Plungie is delivered to your specified address on a flatbed or semi-truck. If access is not available for a flatbed or semi-truck, additional costs may be incurred.

Does the price include equipment?

Every Plungie is supplied with a skimmer box, multi-coloured LED light, hydrostatic valve, and the internal ecoFINISH. Equipment such as the pump, filter, and chlorinator are separate from the pricing advertised on our pools.

We offer an optional equipment package through Hayward +

How much is a crane?

Crane costs vary depending on the access available on site. We recommend engaging a local crane company to conduct a site visit and quote.

Installation

Do you do installations?

We are the manufacturer and supplier only - the installation is organised by yourself through a local builder, pool builder, or structural landscaper; depending on your location. In some states and territories, you can even do it yourself as an owner-builder.

Does the pool need to sit on a concrete slab?

Yes, a pre-engineered concrete slab is required as the base footing for every Plungie to sit on top of. 

Can it go above-ground?

Yes, the Plungie can be installed fully above-ground, fully in-ground, semi-recessed, or even on a rooftop.

Do you look after certification and approvals?

Certification/Permit approval is taken care of by your installer or yourself as an owner-builder.

Can I get somebody to look at my block and run through the process with me?

As the supplier, we don't conduct site visits. If we have an installation partner in your area, you can liaise with them for a site visit.

What information do I need to give the crane company?

The crane company will need the dimensions and weight of the pool and the location of the lifting points. These are specified in our lifting diagrams:

Can it go on a sloping block?

The Plungie is perfect for any site, including sloping blocks.

Can the pool itself be used to retain my block?

Yes, the pool can be used to retain earth.

My soil is sandy - can the plungie still go on that?

Yes, slab requirements differ based on the soil type, but a Plungie is a perfect solution for sandy soil. We have pre-engineered specifications that will detail the requirements.

Can you attach glass fencing to the side of the pool?

We recommend engaging a qualified tradesperson to assess, give approval, and conduct the works if you'd like to attach glass fencing to the side of the pool. If works are carried out incorrectly, this will void the ten-year structural warranty. 

Can the pool bear weight like a deck or fence?

The Plungie is not designed to be weight-bearing. Direct fixing of structural members will void the ten-year structural warranty. 

Misc.

Do you have a showroom?

No, we don't have a showroom.

What warranty comes with the pool?

A ten-year structural & ecoFinish warranty comes with every Plungie.

Do you sell robotic cleaners?

Ladders can be purchased separately through another supplier.
