Edit: I spoke with Plungie about this video and they explained that this video was geared towards other builders, not consumers. So if you’re a builder you can buy this package for around $25,000 then your guys install it. Makes a lot more sense after they explained that to me. Plungie was very helpful and answered all my questions super quick so just wanted to clarify that.
Saw this video when you uploaded, reached out to plungie and they sent me a builder here in Dallas where I am, just got quoted $80,000 for the Max installed. Was hoping for $25-35k also we have 2 acres with no trees to go over and plenty of room for a crane to drive in our flat back yard. Just wanted to clarify this wasn’t a hard install problem.
Oh man. That sounds like it’s way more than what was said in the video.
Well that's a helluva big difference between 25K and 80K. Like the difference between YES and NO.
80K for a small prefab pool and installation. Yeah, no thanks.
My parents’ neighbor installed a pool about this size, in SA, 50 miles south of Austin, but full custom, about the same timeframe as this video, took 6+ months from contract signed to installed. Cost over $75K. Inflation, labor shortages, materials shortages hit pool companies HARD.
Awesome information! Great option for a lot of people!!
Pool, or one large septic tank, you decide :p
There's probably a fence at the factory. One side sells pools. The other septic tanks.
@@jonmiguel Out the back, in-ground hot tubs. ;)
This is smaller than our smallest septic tank lol
Some people have very limited space in their back yard. Some do not wish to get a hottub of swim spa that may last a given number of years and have various repair cost associated with it. Plunge pools could last for many decades like a regular pool.
Glad you showed us this
Great video and product!!!
Absolutely fantastic.
Hey Matt, I have a quick question. I’ve been deciding if I like zip 2.0 system better or plywood with fluid applied house wrap for my sheathing. I saw a video where you shot a piece of wood at osb and it went through it. Then you did the same thing to a piece of plywood and nothing happened. Would the plywood be stronger compared to zip 2.0? That’s what I got you of that video. I would enjoy watching a video where you talked about zip 2.0 vs plywood with fluid applied house wrap and your opinions on each. Thanks!
Lots of skepticism in the comments. For a small city yard in Houston this looks about perfect. Pools are ridiculously expensive in the city.
Small pools arent just for small properties. Pools are expensive to operate and maintain. They spend the majority of the time unused. Bigger isnt necessarily better unless you have money to burn.
Great solution for the modern efficiency yard. Being small also reduces the cost of ownership. Feel free to buzz me directly for Information donovan@plungie.com
This is great!
I'm glad to see them offering products in the US now. Now if they would only allow you to customize the surface color that would be even more amazing.
Hi. We stock 6 colors but you can custom order any ecofinish color. We can also ship pools unfinished if you want a full tile or plaster finish
Thanks Donovan. Very good to know!
I'm sold. That looks much better built than the on-site built pools I've seen.
I admire Matt’s enthusiasm
Needed something like this 👍
Damn that’s slick!!
AWESOME IDEA!
Awesome!
I have a 1/3 acre narrow lot, back yard only about 5k sq ft. This would honestly be perfect for me. My first floor is 3ft above grade, i would probably even install this only partially underground so its on the same level as the deck. Only thing is I doubt I could get that massive crane anywhere near my back yard. Maybe they could lift it over my house lmao
Plungie have done several installs, lifting the pool over the roof into place. reach out to the team for more info!
Cakewalk for a crane operator
@@chrismacaulay Does the pad have to be set below frost line or require a footer?
FWIW the costs cited here are not accurate. Total all-in cost in Austin TX is around $50k right now (we are two weeks away from completing our Plungie Studio).
How does it come out to double what they claim?
@@wazup3333 The pool shells with equipment and tax are about $20K for the smallest one, and then labor (digging, plumbing, electric, crane and backfill) cost more than the pool itself.
@@colintalkstech he said everything is under 25k
@@wazup3333 feel free to get quotes yourself. I literally am staring at my plungie in the backyard right now so I'm just giving you my personal experience. Cost estimate in this video is 100% wrong
@@colintalkstech maybe because everything went up in price drastically over the past year?
I love this!
I am really interested in moving large structures. It doesn't seem like there is any real limitation except technical reasons. I'm curious whats the largest commercial moving and what makes it cost what it does.
I like the retainer wall point. Thats huge
having lived in Florida with a home pool, this small size wouldn't be taken seriously
It's perfect size. No wasting hours cleaning. No huge concrete deck with fencing. Jump in cool off- done. Who does laps? My neighbors have a huge pool. Never used.
@@mojodojo5533 It doesn’t take hours to clean. Pool robot does all the work. I’d rather just take a cool shower if i couldn’t swim and dive in my pool.
@@mojodojo5533 I was one of four kids and all six in family did laps
@@mojodojo5533 Why not jump in a cold bath tub? I mean something like that pool would be ok in Scandinavia or Estonia if you have a sauna and you need to have a dip. But when you see something like that in America it raises a lot of questions.
@@diegoperez2090 obviously it's not for everyone. But for me, perfect. Cold beer or wine and chilin in my "paid in full" 8x10.
Looks stout, in Texas our clay soils can put a lot of stress on the walls of a pool. At these sizes, I’m guessing the concrete can handle the pressure just fine even when empty.
How on earth can y’all call that a pool in TEXAS? Alabama guesses everything isn’t BIGGER in TEXAS after all!
Super strong! If you have interest ping me at donovan@plungie.com
Looks exactly like our septic tanks. Texas soil won’t do anything to these..
If you put about 12" of large chunk limestone around it, would that reduce the stress?
4” would be cutting it close in New England. The freeze thaw cycles can crack a 6” 8” 10” concrete wall depending on the soil conditions.
Do you have to compact/grade below the pool and pour a concrete slab on grade before placing the pool inside the existing hole?
pour a 6 inch slab
Really nice small pool. The 8×15 would be perfect for me and the wife. Live in Florida and would like to get more info on this please. Thanks, Steve
Never owned a pool but I’ve seen those fiberglass ones on the backs of trucks before. How do these compare to those?
fiberglass ones weigh less
This is made from solid precast concrete, no cracks or flexing, incredibly strong!
Fiberglass ones can also pop out of the ground of the water table gets too high and or you let too much water out.
@@lordgarth1 my cousins neighbor had a fiberglass one and one day there was a drunken party. Drunken fool #22 tossed a big rock into the pool flooded the whole yard because it cracked the bottom of the fiberglass liner.
@@andrewschell6536 wow that’s crazy.
Everything needs to be precast car frames, house walls, way of the dang future
Dude, you need your own show on tv. You have the personality for it!
Yet another great video!
That's cool
Pretty interesting.
Never heard of pre-fab concrete pools, but it's a good idea for a pool on a budget. I would've thrown in some foam board insulation under and around it, but neat none the less!
It's a plunge pool, folks, not a lap pool. It's not meant to be huge.
Aww, no swim jets. Man that’s so close to being perfect. Hopefully they decide to add that option in.
Coming very soon 🤫
For what, so you'll have to pay thousands of dollars to get them replaced or fixed after some years down the road. Forget it, give me a typical pump and possible heater regular pool type problem instead.I have a real small backyard, but even I would opt for a slightly bigger plunge pool. Nice though!
Super interested. Submitted information for the plunger pool. We live in Florida but could use some assistance
$20k + install for a 10x20 seems like could be reasonable, depending on the market. I think fiberglass will run you around $24-25k installed, so this is a bit more expensive for what should be much more durable product.
Install would double that price at least. Not sure how much that crane would be down in the states but in Canada you'd be looking at a day price of close to $10k if not more. The big cranes we use in industrial environments are like $25k to $50k a day.
Nevermind.. kept watching the video.. that is way cheaper than it would be up here.
@@pin65371 Plungie launches in Canada in September. Factory in Toronto opening up shortly
@@chrismacaulay do you work for them?
Insane money. $3000max
You still have to hire an electrician to bond and wire the equipment. Add a heater then you’re adding a plumber. A few other miscellaneous and youre add another 6 k without even trying.
Probably don’t need a heater in texas however being texas you can do your own work as well. pool plumbing and wiring isn’t very difficult.
@@lordgarth1 you are correct “wiring isn’t very difficult” but if its not done correctly it very deadly too. Don’t worry about the bonding either, if that’s not done correctly you end up with a shorter Christmas list of presents to buy.
@@jjcross3280 if you screw up wiring a pool then I don't know how you tie you shoes. Seriously you would have to go out of your way to screw it up. Also even homeowners have to be inspected. I've only wired a few pools, 1 city and a few home sized and many hot tubs most are just 1 step off of being plug and play. If it is pool rated then it is easy other than stepping over under pipes.
@@lordgarth1
You’ll probably need a chiller in Texas. Unless you want to swim in bath water.
@@darwinawardcommittee Plungie offer chillers as well!
No one in Canada has said
“Go chill the pool!”
That's not a pool , it's a large hot tub with cold water!
Lol
I went to the comments to say the same exact thing. lol
Very expensive "Topless" Cesspool (Sewer tank)
Exactly, it's just a large bath tub. I wouldn't call something smaller than the size of 2 sheets of plywood a pool.
U couldn't even take a shit in that thing
your hillside idea raised some questions as a retaining wall what foundations on a hillside and can they do an infinity edge?
You’d still put a 6 inch slab down as the foundation. It has an in-set skimmer box so it’s not designed for an infinity edge
We are adding a hot tub to my existing in-ground pool and it's easily costing me > $25K...This is a great value for the money.
Do you guys also make casket vaults?
Are pools that small really that expensive!? Granted it is a bit apples and oranges, but out in the country where I live I could make a natural swimming pool four times that big for easily under $10k
A good hot tub is 8k
Is natural swimming pool code for a pond?
Key words in your comment are that YOU could make it. That price is made and installed. And it's probably a flow pool, which means it is for swimming against a current. Another specialty.
But I would pay $25k for a pool in my yard right now! If I had it. Lol
Where part of the country are you referring to? I assumed they were all north of $50k to start
Labor is expensive.
yea that looks like an oversized hot tub. what kind of "swimming" can you even do in that thing? you just tread water or chill on the side.
Can these be installed with an automatic cover? Can they come plumbed with a spa?
pools are expensive to install, expensive to maintain, expensive to remove. Yes pools are nice
Like boats
Pools are not expensive to maintain if you diy.
@@lordgarth1 Yes they are, then you have a small pool more the likely. Chemicals have nearly double in price over the years. Even growing up the above ground pools were not cheap
@@zack9912000 I have a 29,000 gallon and other than paying $125 for my chlorine this year that i normally pay $75 Chemicals aren’t bad at all unless you pay extra for cheap chemicals at a pool store because they say things like ph or alkalinity up instead of washing soda or baking soda. between sams club and a few industrial suppliers i use for things like boric acid. it’s fine.
@@zack9912000 converting to salt water pool myself. Doesn't need all those chemicals
plungie's is more expensive than regular gunite installation when you factor in: heater, basic package, freight, labor etc, you actually lose money going with plungie. They said to me it was about time not cost savings
Up here we have a lot of pre-made fibreglass pools.
I have never had an in ground pool .... do you bring them to north Louisiana ? I want the one in this video . Do you really do all the set up ?
I'd like to see them do $25k installed in San Antonio on top of all this rock!
We do septic tanks all over the states. That would be easy..
@@oHITMAN14o I think you’re missing the point
@@benwhittle7204 the price? Easy also lmao. But it wouldn’t be a pool it would be a septic tank haha
Pools scare me because the price points are all over the place. This seems like something I can use on future projects, assuming LA, CA allows.
You should speak to the team at Plungie about that. They have a program for builders/contractors, with trade pricing.
In Florida, we would have to find a way to bolt it down to the ground. Everytime a big weather event comes, the pool might pop out of the ground. Though I do like the whole concept... Seems nice to have some thin wall options. Roof top pool savings also.
Very Good System can you provide the design ...i am from GCC....we will try to make one
Would function as a nice bird bath here in FL
Well, I've seen some stupidly small pools in Florida too. In fact, the smallest pools I've seen were in Florida. Even some hotels like Destiny Palm in Kissimmee have very small pools.
I really don't understand people who get "pools" like the one in this video. You can't really swim in it and it makes your home look embarrassing. Like you don't have enough money for a normal pool. It reminds me of those little A Class Mercedes Benz they used to make 15 years ago. It's got Mercedes badge but it sure doesn't look or drive like a Mercedes.
It's more like a big tub. I'm actually surprised it's so expensive. Are you telling me this tiny size pool built traditionally would cost $100k?😳
I got several traditional build quotes for a pool this size over the past several mos. minimum was 60k
@@michelleholcomb2973
That's crazy. It must be tied to location... The hotter it is in summer, the more expensive. I have a pool but I bought the house with this pool. Googled prices in Boston area and it's about 70k for a full size pool
@@michelleholcomb2973 That is absolutely nuts
@@sergeybebenin I feel like this should be at least half advertised cost since it's cookie cutter and being built in a factory in whatever location best suited financially. But they're probably milking the margins. How much does that cost in just material? Any competitors?
As a builder, what I really want to know is what’s the particulars of the foundation?
Agree, could have went in depth on that.
Dave, we provide full engineering specs. For our pools your pad requirements change depending the soil type. We have really done the up front work so you can install a pool that will be in use for a lifetime
@@donovanshanahan7810 thank you for the reply. It wasn’t my intention to snub the product, I was just kind of surprised that they didn’t even mention it in the video. I will definitely be looking into using this in the future.
@@donovanshanahan7810 Life time. This is not a word when discussing hot tubs or swim spas?
Awesome guys.
How about 3D printed pools.
I think it’s funny when people say they are using a 110ton crane but they only bring half the counterweight. 🤣
I’ve been researching septic tanks as mini pools for a future home. I want a pool, precast concrete, no cracks and strong. Great idea!!
Andrew if you have any questions ping me at donovan@plungie.com
Septic tank???
Maybe I'm just a pool snob, but that seems kinda small to me. Are big pools not common in the USA?
I have a small backyard and I would get a bigger plunge pool.
The build show.
Good idea
This will still run 8k more
With excavating yourself $
Adding cement slab on bottom $
Getting a permit $
Electrician $
Plumber $
Crane not included $
Outodor bathtub or pool? Looks tiny.
How do you insulate the water from the ground? Or do you?
I know nothing about pools, but I do know Texas. I don't think we do that kinda thing :)
in colder climates you can put insulation around the side walls when you install. the pool sits on a 6 inch pad so it's somewhat insulated.
@@stiffdrinkmime366 You must not live in Austin?
That is the biggest whirlpool I've ever seen - but not nearly enough water jets. I guess if you were a toddler it would seem big.
4 small plungies = 1 traditional pool. 4x25k = tradition pool. Sorry Matt, please compare apples to apples.
Wow! Just seeing this video for the first time. Neat product with conflicting pricing on RUclips. Appears like contractors get a HUGE price break? This video leaves one to believe a homeowner can get a quality pool installed for under 25k, when other RUclips videos give a different perspective. A Carolina Plungie dealer list starting price of 52k! Deal breaker…. might as well get a custom vinyl pool
Well hell😂... couldn’t you precast a basement foundation and save $20,000🤔?
It is 1/4 the cost, and it should be...it's 1/4 the size. Even for a "plunge pool" it lacks character. It's a deep Jacuzzi without the jets that fits more in an enclosed patio than in a backyard.
I caught that too. "1/4 the cost". My large 'campground' sized kidney shaped pool, 35k gallons, when it was installed was only 35k!"
@@mattalbrecht7471 not these days. North FL - estimate recent for a 7’x10’ pool - $40,000 and a minimum nine month wait!
Don’t kid yourself, this is a big tub.
Arent all pools just big tubs?
Swimming pools are for swimming hence the name. Unless your a very small person you aren’t going to swim easily in this. Sitting in the water and having a drink in my opinion makes it a big tub. I’m from Austin and unless you hook this up to a heat pump and cool it it’s going to be very warm water once summer hits.
In this San Antonio neighborhood a pool builder would say like J.J. from Goodtimes - D-Y-N-O-M-I-T-E!!!
🤣
The real benefit most forget with a small pool is they are less expensive to operate. Think what it costs to heat 20,000 gallons and consider what it would cost to keep this small pool at a comfortable 82degrees! The chlorine bill will be less too! What ends up happening is you actually USE your pool because you don't mind paying to heat it! I've had large pools and will never again go down that road. With that said, this small pool is pretty damn ugly and lacks features people want today.
Lol that last part
What features btw
@@wazup3333 Sun shelf?? Where else are you going to get laid, the deep end?
Looks like a wading pool
Yes, correct
I would get a bigger one for my small back yard.
Crazy ... Why you should do this.
How much was this video
This guy is still building his every man, budget remodel?
Was thinking the same. He certainly doesn't build a house like Matt Risinger builds a house. Not a sliver of Zip to be found on that build. Looks just like the way builders have been building for the past 50 years...minimum code.
Swimming pool will outlast the house.
3:18 You are going to have terrible circulation and not having a main drain means more vacuuming.

25k!!! Seems a little spendy for a rectangle

In North FL and got a recent estimate for a 7’ x 10’ pool. $40,000 and a minimum nine month wait! I’m out.
It's cheaper than a standard pool which usually runs you over 30k
@@mr.g937 Typical 16 x 32 inground will run $75-$100k in Ohio

Not sure why anyone would want a prefabricated concrete pool when they could get a fiberglass pool and all the benefits that come with fiberglass.
Because fiberglass is much more fragile & not suited for certain areas, especially those with a high water table
Thought so. So this is actually an 80K concrete crate similar to septic tank design.They should send that clown to Vegas
this video covered very little
Doesn’t seem like that great a deal considering it looks like a big hot tub
It will last for as long as you own the home.
I don’t know why every pool isn’t prefab, they’re such a difficult feature to execute and sequence in a build!
Bigger.
I want one, but I think it needs jets.
Septic tank
Turnkey cost? 🤔
No jets??? How is this a swim pool? More like a soaking pool. But , nice to have quick options.
Are you joking about $25,000 for that little thing being cheap , it's a little bigger than a hot tub 😂
no we want to know the price of the pool itself not the grey area of install . whats the price of the pool itself ?
That's a 150 ton crane
1/4 of the size and cost of a real pool!!

Why did they spell pool like bath tub?
Not impressive, to small,,,to expensive, basically a hot tub,,,with a little leg room,,,,,I paid 25k for a 20x40 with 9 deep
