The Plungie Original is the pool that started it all, and it's still the one we'd point most people toward first. At 15' x 8', it's a small backyard plunge pool that fits a standard suburban lot comfortably, leaving you room for a patio, an outdoor kitchen, or a patch of lawn alongside it.
Yards across the country are getting smaller, with median lot sizes for new single-family homes shrinking around 18% between 2010 and 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau). The Original is designed for exactly that kind of backyard. You still get a proper pool to cool off, float, and play in, with a water depth of around 5', 3,280 gallons, and built-in bench seating to lounge on, without the pool taking over the whole yard.
It's also a Rock the Block favorite, featured in both House 1 and House 2 on HGTV's Rock the Block 2026. Like every Plungie, the Original can be installed in-ground, semi-recessed, or above ground, so it works on flat lots, sloping yards, and raised decks.
The Original is made in Alvarado, Texas, and shipped nationwide as a complete shell. It installs over 74% faster than a traditional concrete pool and is backed by a 10-year warranty on the pool shell.
Every Original is installed by a local Plungie partner, including Desert Drop, Silver Ridge Pools and Iris Pools. Your installer checks your site, plans crane access, and takes care of the install from start to finish, so you can look forward to swim day.

"Working with Plungie is amazing, can't fault the customer service. When comparing a in situ pool built on site and a Plungie precast it's a no brainer... The whole process took 3 hours."
Speed
While a traditional pool build can take months from start to finish, a Plungie installs over 74% faster and can be delivered to your site, ready to install, in as little as 10 days.
Quality
Every Plungie is backed by a 10-year warranty.
Design
Our award-winning, patented monolithic design provides maximum strength at the lightest possible weight.
The Plungie Original measures 15' x 8' externally (14'5" x 7'5" internally), with an external height of 5'6½" and a water depth of around 5'. It holds 3,280 gallons and includes built-in bench seating.
Yes. The Original is sized for the typical suburban backyard, big enough to swim, float, and entertain in, but compact enough to leave room for the rest of your outdoor living space. It's our most versatile all-rounder for families who want a real pool without a full-size footprint.
The Original's shell takes up 15' x 8', but you'll also want room for coping, decking or pavers, your equipment pad and a compliant pool barrier, plus any setbacks your city requires. Your installer will check your lot and crane access before you order, and you can download the Original Specifications for exact dimensions.
The total cost of a Plungie Original depends on your site, whether it's installed in-ground, semi-recessed or above ground, crane access, and the finishes and extras you choose. Because the shell arrives ready to install, you skip much of the excavation and build time of a traditional pool. Your local installer will give you a full quote once they've checked your site.
For tighter yards, courtyards, and city lots, the Studio (12' x 7') or the round Arena (11'5") are great compact options. For larger families or bigger yards, the Max (20' x 10') gives you more room to swim. The Original sits right in the middle. You can compare every model side by side.
Yes. The Original can be installed in-ground, semi-recessed, or fully above ground. On a sloping lot, a semi-recessed install can work with the grade instead of against it, and above ground, the concrete exterior can be clad or finished to suit your home.
The Original is shipped from our Texas facility as a single precast concrete shell with a dry weight of 17,500 lbs, then craned into place. Plungie supplies a lifting guide to plan crane access, and on install day the pool is craned in and plumbed in a day. Download our Lifting Guide for more detail.
We are the manufacturer and supplier only — the installation is organized by you through a local builder, pool builder, or structural landscaper; depending on your location. In some locations, you can even install it yourself as an owner-builder.
We can connect you with a trusted Plungie installation partner if there is one available in your area. Learn more on our Find an Installer page.
