A pool is the main attraction in every backyard where there’s one – this is your personal relaxation oasis to get rid of all negative thoughts and just chill. A small backyard may not look like one to have a pool but you may still squeeze a plunge pool there. A plunge pool is a small, shallow pool built for the purpose of lounging, wading, and cooling off instead of for swimming and exercising.
Benefits
Some homeowners prefer plunge pools instead of large ones not due to the size of the backyard but because of their lower costs to build, smaller sizes, easier maintenance, and reduced water requirements.
Though the care process is similar to that of a large pool, you’ll use fewer chemicals and the pool cleaning process requires less time. This leaves you with more free time to simply enjoy your plunge pool and keeps your pool from turning from a relaxing haven into a dreaded chore. To maximize your saved time, look into self-cleaning options that help keep your pool looking well maintained without requiring any additional effort on your part.
Smaller pools like plunge pools are also much more environmentally friendly than large pools. They use less water and require smaller amounts of chemicals in their cleaning process They are also more efficient to heat, and their filtration systems consume far less energy because they don’t have to work quite so hard.

Types
Plunge pool designs come in three main types: in-ground, above ground, or partially in-ground. The process you’ll choose depends largely on your aesthetic wants, your property, and your budget. In-ground plunge pools are the most popular because they tend to look sleeker and more professional. Above ground plunge pools are typically less aesthetically pleasing, but they are often popular due to their cost effectiveness as compared to in ground concrete pools.
