The CTX280 pump features a much higher head pressure compared to other pumps available on the market. The CTX also moves more water, using less power in fewer hours per day, resulting in lower electricity costs. With the need for less frequently cleaning this pump will save you not only time but money.
The E25 Salt Water Chlorinator is one of the most reliable and sophisticated salt chlorinator systems available on the market. This chlorinator requires only 0.5% salt concentration to activate the chlorinator. From here the chlorinator will make its own chlorine from the salt in an automated self-contained manner.
Included as the standard filtration system with our Plunge Pools, the XC100 Cartridge Filter require no backwash. This filter includes a easy-to-use double threaded central locking ring, resulting it it being super easy to remove and replace the filter elements. The oil filled pressure gauge clearly indicates when it is time to clean the filter element with a rise in pressure above 20kPa. This filter system is also environmentally friendly as it takes just 100 litres* of water to wash the element instead of backwashing thousands of litres.
*Based on an average time of 15 minutes to clean the cartridge with a standard yard hose
The Handover Kit includes everything needed to help make maintaining your Plunge Pool as easy as possible. With items such as a Leaf Scoop, Brush and CPR chart this kit also includes a beach ball for the kids to enjoy!
Additional Light (1 Light included in every pool as standard)
With 8 colour options to choose from, the ATOM Multicolour LED Light is sure to enhance your pool! The ATOM Light also includes a Light Transformer which is an essential element to any vessel of water that contains a light. The Light Transformer changes power from AC to DC power and therefore changes power to a lower voltage, making it safe to use your Plunge Pool.
Our Skimmer is one of the largest leaf baskets available on the market, meaning a reduced frequency of cleaning. Australian designed and manufactured, the Skimmer is made from Australian compounded UV stabilized high impact ABS plastic. Our Skimmer is a reliable single piece construction, meaning it has no glue joins that can leak. It is also super quiet as the weir flaps sit under the water line.
The Eyeballs (known as returns) are fittings that are plumbed to the internal of your Plunge Pool. The plumbing is connected to your filtration pump, due to this they can’t be shut off and only run when your filtration pump or your Solar, Heat Pump or Gas Heater are running. If standing/sitting in front of the Eyeballs Return it will provide a medium level of massage as it has a directional eyeball (even though it is not a jet). Our Eyeball Returns are 25mm (usually 19mm). Quantity of Eyeball Returns in your Plunge Pool will vary depending on the Plunge Pool model.

Maximize your pool usage throughout the year with a Heat Pump! Heat Pumps absorb 80% of the heat in the air to help heat the pool, which not only helps maximize your pool usage throughout the year, but also provides a lower running cost.
