TRU BLU / Pool planning

Small plunge pools

The Compact pool brings the round steel design into a smaller footprint. Its 2.2 m diameter suits a cooling-off spot, a courtyard retreat or a quieter corner of a larger garden.

Compact size, complete equipment

The 2.2 m Compact costs $7,390 at 1.2 m shell height or $8,090 at 1.5 m, including GST. Both include the circulation pump, cartridge filter, UV sanitiser, standard fittings and starter kit. Delivery, foundations, installation, barriers and approvals are separate unless included in your written quote.

A smaller diameter does not remove the need for equipment space and safe access. Mark the complete layout rather than checking only whether a 2.2 m circle fits.

Measure the usable space

Make a simple plan showing the shell, foundation extension, fittings, pump and filter area, gate and surrounding paths. Check that the filter cartridge can be removed and that the UV unit has room for lamp servicing.

The 1.2 m and 1.5 m options are shell heights; operating water depth is lower and follows the supplied waterline instructions. Choose access and entry arrangements alongside the height.

Compare before you decide

Moving from 2.2 m to 2.8 m adds 600 mm to the diameter. The floor area increases by about 62%, so the difference is substantial even though the dimension sounds modest.

Use our size guide to compare all three footprints. If access is tight, send the narrowest opening, overhead clearance, turns and photographs with your enquiry so the delivery arrangement can be quoted.
