The Water-Wise, Budget-Smart Solution

• Water Savings:

  • A typical stock tank plunge pool uses only ~2,650L—compared to 45,000L+ for a standard pool.

  • Smaller surface area = up to 97% less evaporation when using a pool cover (now required in many councils).

  • Great for filling with rainwater or topping up with minimal impact.

• Lower Running Costs:

  • Less water means fewer chemicals, less filtration time, and smaller energy bills—perfect for WA where every drop (and dollar) counts.

  • Plunge pool install: from $600 DIY to $5,000 turnkey; traditional pools often $45,000+.

    
    

A Solution for Small, Tricky, or Off-Grid WA Blocks

• Space-Saving:

  • Plunge pools can slot into tight courtyards, awkward corners, or even be installed above-ground on decks or patios.

  • 2.4m diameter (8-foot) tanks are common in WA—no need to lose your whole yard!

• Rural/Remote Ready:

  • Run them off solar, fill from tanks or bore, and use DC pumps in off-grid locations.

  • Many rural WA owners install stock tank pools for easy cooling with minimal setup.

Wellness, Recovery & Family Connection

• Cold Therapy:

  • WA athletes and wellness fans are embracing plunge pools for ice baths and hydrotherapy—easier to use and maintain than a big pool or spa.

• Family Bonding:

  • Perfect, supervised space for teaching kids to swim or for adults to unwind after work.

• Outdoor Entertaining:

  • Seamlessly integrates with decks, fire pits, and alfresco dining—key trends in Perth’s landscaping and home design.

Design, Style & Portability for WA Lifestyles

• Style:

  • Stock tank pools bring a modern, industrial-chic vibe that works with both classic WA brick bungalows and new builds.

  • Paint, wrap, or landscape them for a bespoke backyard look.

• Portability:

  • Move house? Take your pool with you—something you’ll never do with an in-ground model.

• Fast Setup:

  • Install in a day or two—no months of earthworks or tradie chaos!

Adds Value to Your WA Home or Rental

• For Homeowners:

  • Up to 7% property value boost when integrated with quality outdoor living spaces.

• For Landlords/Airbnb:

  • Perth homes with pools rent faster, and Airbnbs with plunge pools can earn up to $5,000+ per summer (according to Swimply and local hosts).

  • Guests want a “holiday at home” experience—plunge pools are the new must-have.

Unique WA Perks & Compliance Simplicity

• Fewer Barriers:

  • Recent WA rules have streamlined pool fencing approvals—small, above-ground installs now face less red tape.

  • All pools >30cm deep still need compliant barriers, but many above-ground plunge pools now qualify for simpler compliance.

• Local Support:

  • Terra Tanks and local suppliers provide expert guidance—helping you stay water-wise and compliant with minimal hassle.

WA Success Stories

• Homeowners in East Fremantle, Nedlands, and rural WA have installed plunge pools on blocks too small or sloped for traditional pools—enjoying the “instant cool” with less water, less cost, and more backyard left for living.

• Perth’s pool rental bookings have grown by over 300% in the last year, with plunge pools now the most popular upgrade for new short-term rentals.
