Ok, we actually love all pools!... But the new Plungie range have stolen our hearts and allowed us to fast-track the construction process to have our customers splashing around faster!

The Plungie pools are innovative and a great option for when the size and shape suit your site with no compromise on quality. Most site types are suitable for a plungie pool, flat ground, sloping or tiered landscapes work really well as the plungie pools can be installed either all the way inground, completely above the ground and anywhere in-between! 

The only challenge with installing a plungie pool is the weight of the shell, (they are seriously hefty) so it's important that we visit your site to determine if and how a crane truck can lift the shell from the delivery truck into it's final resting place safely.

So if your considering a small plunge pool why not ask one of our team members for a quote and inspection of your site to see if one of the four Plungie size options will work for you.

Plungie Sizes...

• Max 6.0m x 3.0m
• Original 4.6m x 2.5m
• Studio 3.6m x 2.2m
• Arena 3.5m Round

Ozone, the key component of our Mineral Swim system, destroys 99.9% viruses and bacteria and has been proven to kill viruses including SARS which has an almost identical structure to COVID-19 attacking the respiratory system like COVID-19.  Ozone is widely used in many industries where germs are likely to spread, including Aquatic Centres, Hospitals and the Airline Industry.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises that when integrated into pool equipment, Ozone can be viewed as the most powerful oxidising and disinfecting agent available for pool & spa water treatment. Ozone will act as the primary oxidiser and disinfectant destroying impurities and microorganisms allowing the pool owner to reduce the chlorine demand needed in their pool.  Ozone Swim is 3,500 times faster at killing bacteria than chlorine making it one of the most powerful and effective sanitation systems on the market.

If pool water is treated only with chlorine, at certain levels, it will take approximately 16 minutes for viruses to be killed.  Viruses are chlorine resistant, meaning they are not easily destroyed by chlorine alone but when combined with a secondary sanitation system, like Ozone Swim the risk of contracting a virus is significantly decreased.  Many progressive Aquatic Centres and Learn to Swim Schools now insist on upgrading to secondary sanitation system to effectively manage sanitation and health within their centres.  Ozone systems are highly recommended for use on every public pool by health departments in every state and territory of Australia as it provides the most effective treatment when it comes to the smallest of pathogens such  as viruses.  The APVMA and NSW Department of Health, the most stringent health body in Australia, recognises Ozone as approved disinfectant method when used in conjunction with chlorine. 

"Ozone is a stronger oxidiser than chlorine, it substantially reduces chlorine demand and allows chlorine to be more efficient in residual disinfection allowing for lower chlorine levels"

Not all Ozone systems are equal!

Unlike many other Ozone systems on the market which use UV bulbs to create ozone, Ozone Swim harnesses patented technology creating an electrical field that self generates ozone, in the same way lightening is created.  As a result, there are no replacement bulbs which can cost around $200-$300 every 2 years and the strength of ozone is far more powerful almost 10 times more than UV systems!

Effect of Ozone on Bacteria & Viruses

Ozone is a water purification system that's 10 times stronger than chlorine as a disinfectant and kills bacteria on contact leaving no residual traces like chlorine does.  It's the residual from chlorine (combined chlorine/chloramine) that's responsible for that nasty smell and irritating the skin and eyes.  Ozone interferes with the metabolism of bacteria by inhibiting the operation of the enzymatic control system breaking through the cell membrane destroying the bacteria.  Viruses are different they are small, independent particles built of crystals and macro molecules.  Unlike bacteria, they multiply only within the host cell and they transform protein of that host cell into proteins of their own.  Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core resulting in damage to the virus.

What about other Health Benefits?

As Ozone Swim is so effective in destroying bacteria, viruses and nasty chloramines, it's the perfect system if you're looking to ramp up sanitation levels in your pool.  Ozone has many other well documented health benefits, the water feels softer to swim in, its gentle on the skin and the eyes particularly for the 1 in 4 that suffer from a skin condition and finally it's a natural flocculant so your water clarity will be crystal clear.     

Did you know that all bottled water is treated by ozone before hitting our shelves??

It might be cold...but your pool still needs you!!

Getting your pool ready for winter is really much the same as every other season. In our temperate climate there is no need to "winterise" your pool.

It's important to follow a regular maintenance program all year round.

During winter, as you check your levels each week, you will most likely notice that you will need to dial the chlorinator output down, as evaporation and chemical loss will be much less during this time, your chlorinator won't need to produce at a high level like in summer.

Pool Heating - If you are constantly heating your pool right through winter you may not need to reduce your chlorine levels, use your test kit to determine and regulate each week.

Winter Pool Maintenance Summary;

• Check your pool chlorine and pH every week with a pool test kit
• Have your water tested by a pool professional every month
• Reduce your pool filtration by 1-2 hours from your ideal summer schedule (unless you are heating your pool)
• Empty the skimmer basket when full
• Occasionally check the water level is half way up the skimmer box opening
• Continue to check and clean your filter every month (backwash/clean)
• Turn the pool lights on for at least 30 minutes a week to prevent build-up of moisture within the light and wiring
• Vacuum the pool floor and brush your walls periodically to reduce staining and algae build up
• Don't let debris stay on the floor of your pool, even leaves can cause staining on your pool surface if left for too long!

Robotic Pool Cleaners;
Dolphin Robotic pool cleaners are a wonderful accessory for every pool and will assist with your pool maintenance year round. Make sure that you maintain your cleaner and it will be your pool's best friend! - Clean the robot's filter cartridge after each cleaning cycle, keep the power supply in the shade and away from water/puddles/rain and don't leave the robot in the pool when not in use.

Keeping yup your pool maintaince is essential for your pools health and will save your time and money in the long run! - Enjoy the winter time, it's only short here in the Northern Rivers of NSW!
