Choose Your Plungie
Obtaining a quote for your plunge pool is the simple part. We can provide you with pricing options for both the supply and delivery of your plunge pool, as well as the necessary plumbing services for your chosen equipment. To assist you in making an informed decision, we have provided clear specifications for our Bali, Paris, Mykonos, and Sydney pool models. Take your time to peruse the specifications and determine which model aligns best with your project requirements.
The best option is to book an appointment to discover what is possible and have your questions answered.
Take the time to consider the following factors, as they may impact your quote:
- Extras: Do you need an equipment package or heating?
- Placement: Where do you want the plunge pool? Is there easy site access?
- Installation depth: Do you want the pool in ground, above ground or semi-recessed?
- Finishing: Will you need waterline tile provisions?
Standard Building Approval
To initiate the installation process, proper permits are necessary for gas, plumbing, electrical and water mitigation. To simplify matters, we will organize the approval for you as we have all the pre-engineered specifications for pool construction and footings.
Many properties in Nashville will also require further stormwater mitigation plans required by the county for additions of impermeable surfaces, such as pools, pavers and decks.
Basic Site Preparation
For optimal installation, each plunge pool must be placed on a pre-engineered concrete slab footing that is tailored to the gradel of the site. Our pool models come with standardized requirements for base preparation, including specifications for the slab and an excavation plan.
Once the site preparation is completed in accordance with these requirements. Then our team will ensure a smooth and successful installation process.
Crane Hire
For the delivery process, a crane is necessary to lift the pool from our truck and place it onto the concrete base slab footing. Every plunge pool comes with pre-engineered pick-up points that make crane lifting a breeze. Pretty convenient, right?
The ease of property access greatly affects crane hire during installation. Not all properties, unfortunately, will have such accessibility. This is determined during our initial consultation and site visit prior to progressing further with the pool planning.
If you are considering a pool installation during new home construction, we highly recommend installing the pool prior to the construction of the home.
Our contacts of reputable crane hire companies typically offer site visits and can provide us with a tailored quote based on Bali, Paris, Mykonos, and Sydney pool lifting diagrams.
Initial Inspections + Drainage
"The first visit from county inspectors is a mandatory step that occurs right after the pool installation is completed. This initial inspection is crucial for ensuring that the pool meets local building codes and safety regulations.
Once the pool is installed, but before we proceed with the implementation of the stormwater drainage plan, the inspectors will conduct a thorough evaluation. This assessment must be successfully passed to move on to the next stage, which involves setting up an efficient stormwater drainage system to manage runoff and prevent water accumulation."
Standard Plumb Up
Each plunge pool arrives with essential plumbing fixtures already in place, making your installation process smoother. This includes a pre-installed skimmer box, hydrostatic valve, and built-in setups for general filtration, safety suction, and extra plumbing lines.
We will ensure the required electrical connections to accommodate your chosen equipment package are installed in advance.
