Meet the Quad: The Tiny Plunge Pool Redefining Wellness at Home

Wellness at home is no longer a luxury. It’s an expectation. As Australians rethink the way they use their homes, more are turning to thoughtful, multi-purpose features that prioritise lifestyle, health and functionality.  

Enter the Quad – Plungie’s new square plunge pool that goes beyond cooling off on a hot day. The Quad is built for modern living, offering both hot and cold functionality in a compact design. 

Why Tiny Plunge Pools are Booming 

The rise of small plunge pools isn’t just about saving space, it’s about intention. As block sizes shrink and outdoor areas become more lifestyle-driven, Australians are choosing pools that work harder and smarter. 

The Quad is designed to fit seamlessly into smaller backyards, courtyards, or side-yards without sacrificing performance or style. At just 2.2m x 2.2m x 1.5m deep, the Quad packs a surprising punch, transforming even the tightest space into a high-impact feature. 

And it’s not just compact. The Quad is crafted to compliment wellness and recovery spaces, with cold and hot plunge functionality at either end of the temperature spectrum. 

Hot or Cold – Tap into a Rapidly Growing Market 

What makes the Quad truly innovative is its versatility. Depending on the equipment you pair with it, this square plunge pool can be heated up to a soothing 36–38°C for a relaxing hot soak or cooled down to a refreshing 6–8°C, perfect for the rapidly growing cold plunge market.

Why your customers will love a hot plunge pool 

Australia’s swimming pool industry is booming, with sales forecast to reach $144 million by 2033. But as demand grows, it’s no longer just about having a pool—it’s about how it's positioned. That’s where the Quad stands out.

When paired with a heater, the Quad transforms into a personal spa retreat, no memberships, no appointments, just everyday luxury at home. It’s a wellness feature your customers will use year-round, and one that adds serious lifestyle appeal to any home. 

The key benefits of hot water therapy in small plunge pools include: 

• Muscle Relief & Recovery: Ideal after training or long days. 

• Improved Circulation: Heat promotes blood flow and joint relief. 

• Stress Reduction: Soaking in warm water calms the nervous system. 

• Better Sleep: Warming the body before bed can help trigger deeper sleep. 

• Year-Round Use: Enjoy your backyard even in the colder months. 

Why your customers will love a cold plunge pool 

With the global cold plunge pool and ice bath market projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2023 to 2028, it’s a smart move for builders and developers to incorporate lifestyle-driven features that meet evolving buyer demand.

When paired with a chiller (or a heater with capacity to chill), the Quad becomes a powerful tool for recovery, resilience, and daily reset – right from the backyard. Key benefits of a cold plunge pool include: 

• Faster Recovery: Reduces muscle inflammation and soreness. 

• Mental Clarity: Cold exposure triggers alertness and focus. 

• Mood Boosting: Cold water stimulates dopamine and endorphin release. 

• Immune Support: Cold immersion can help improve circulation and resilience. 

• Daily Resets: A few minutes in 6–8°C can shift your mindset for the whole day. 

Why Builders and Developers Are Choosing the Quad 

More than a design feature, the Quad is a lifestyle addition that increases property appeal and functional value. For builders and developers, it offers: 

• Compact versatility which is ideal for small lots, townhouses, courtyards and rooftops due to its square plunge pool design. 

• Easy installation as our concrete plunge pools are delivered pre-engineered for faster, more efficient installs. 

• High return on investment due to the growing demand in the luxury wellness market. 

• Flexible design which can be integrated in-ground, semi-recessed, or as a fully above ground square plunge pool. 

More Than a Pool, a Wellness Mindset 

The Quad represents a shift in how we see and use plunge pools. It’s no longer just about leisure. It’s about living better, every day.  

With the both the overall swimming pool and cold plunge pool market expected to rapidly grow, it’s a smart move for any builders and developers to add lifestyle driven solutions to their range of offerings.
