Different cities and municipalities may require a permit to install a plunge pool. Costs, permits, and install will be depend on local laws. You will want to check with your local laws before installing a plunge pool.

The time it takes to install Ecopool depends on your design choice. A small on ground Ecopool can be installed in as little as a day. Larger inground or partially inground Ecopools can take anywhere from 2-4 days to install. It depends on the type of pool you are installing and geographic location. We recommend a gravel or concrete base for Ecopool. A contractor or subcontractor can perform an site inspection and assess your specific needs.

Yes! Ecopool is built in a factory so the on-site requirements are minimal. The first requirement is a level prepared area capable of supporting the pool. Ecopool comes preplumbed and ready to hook up. The second requirement is to make the final plumbing connections. This generally takes 30-60 minutes. The 3rd requirement is to make the electrical connection. This generally requires an electrician to run power to the pool’s pump.

It depends on the final design of your Ecopool. A simple 8’x20’ container pool can be ready to ship in as little as 20 days. Larger sizes typically require 3-4 weeks to complete.

We do offer custom colors on the exterior of Ecopool. There is a fee for custom paint colors. Note that custom colors may extend lead time.

All Ecopool shipping containers are single use containers. That means they were newly manufactured and then used to ship cargo overseas. The benefit of using these new containers is that they are still in excellent condition after their first trip before being repurposed into an Ecopool.

Ecopool uses an 8 layer system to protect the wall of Ecopool. The pools interior is a water containing polymer membrane which cannot rust. Unlike some container pools, the design of Ecopool doesn't rely on the container's metal structure to contain the pool water. We belive this design is much better surface for sanitation, longevity and appearance.

Most plunge pools are around 4 feet deep, though Ecopool offers full customization. Depths can be tailored during production—whether you want a shallow baja ledge for lounging or a deeper plunge for cooling off and aquatic exercise.

Ecopool's plunge pools are engineered to last decades. The steel frame combined with reinforced membranes like Zycore™ or welded polymer interiors can provide 25–30+ years of service without the cracking, replastering, or delamination issues common in gunite and fiberglass pools.

With Ecopool's modular installation and modern finishes, homeowners get a premium feature that enhances property value without the long build times and maintenance drawbacks of traditional pools.

Ecopool's compact plunge pools can start as small as 8' × 8'—perfect for urban lots or small backyards. Sizes then scale up to 20' or 40' lengths for those who want more room to swim or entertain.

Maintenance is simplified with Ecopool. The smooth, non-porous polymer membrane resists algae and staining, meaning fewer harsh chemicals are required. With options like ultraviolet disinfection, robotic cleaners, and smart water-quality monitoring, upkeep is automated and efficient—so you spend more time enjoying the pool, not maintaining it.
