Plunge Pools
Boost your energy, decompress, or heal with cold water immersion in an exclusive Guncast plunge pool.
What is a plunge pool?
Plunge pools are typically filled with cold water and used for rapid cooling after exposure to extreme dry or humid heat in a sauna or steam room. While previously exclusive to luxury spas and fitness suites, more users are investing in plunge pools for the home as a standalone feature or to complement new or existing spa facilities.

Cold water therapy
In recent years, cold water therapy has gained serious popularity because it is thought to be linked to numerous health benefits. Cold water submersion can have a positive effect on recovery after exercise by reducing inflammation and alleviating muscle soreness. It is also thought to build resilience, stimulate the immune system, restore balance to the nervous system and improve cognitive function and mental capacity. The therapeutic benefits of cold water immersion on mental wellbeing are also being increasingly recognised.
Plunge Pools: Your Questions Answered
Do you need planning permission for a plunge pool?
As with any pool, planning permission may be required if your property is a listed building, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or if you’ve given up permitted development rights. Indoor pools may also require permission based on building regulations and project scope. Consult your local planning authority for specific advice.
Can I have a plunge pool above ground?
Yes, you can have a plunge pool above ground. Above-ground plunge pools are a popular option for those who want the benefits of a plunge pool without the extensive excavation and construction work required for in-ground pools.
Can I add heating systems to my plunge pool?
Yes, you can add heating systems to a plunge pool, which can greatly enhance its usability and comfort throughout the year.
Can I add massage jets to my plunge pool?
Yes, you can add jets to your plunge pool, and doing so can transform it into a mini spa or therapeutic pool.
Will I still need to use chlorine in a plunge pool?
Yes, you generally need chlorine or another form of sanitizer for a plunge pool to keep the water clean and safe for use. Chlorine helps control bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms that can thrive in pool water, preventing issues like cloudy water, unpleasant odours, and skin infections.
