Northern Michigan summers are pure magic. Long days, cool evenings, and just enough heat to make the idea of jumping into a backyard pool sound like perfection. But if you’ve ever looked into installing a traditional pool, you know the reality: long timelines, high maintenance, and designs that don’t always work with your space.
That’s where Plunge Plus comes in.
These premium, precast plunge pools are a game-changer for homeowners who want all the benefits of a private pool—without the hassle. Built tough for Michigan winters, fast to install, and loaded with customizable features, Plunge Plus pools make it easy to turn your backyard into a luxury retreat you’ll use from early summer well into the fall.
Let’s dive into what makes the Plunge Plus line so special, break down the four pool models, explore all the available upgrades, and introduce a few other standout pool options that might just be the perfect fit for your space.
Meet The Plunge + Line
When you think “luxury pool,” you probably picture something sprawling and extravagant—but here in Northern Michigan, bigger isn’t always better. That’s where the Plunge Plus line comes in. These premium precast concrete plunge pools offer a smart, stylish alternative for homeowners who want the perks of a beautiful, relaxing backyard pool—without the headaches that come with traditional installations.
Let’s start with the basics. Plunge Plus pools are built to last. Their steel-reinforced, precast concrete shells are designed to take on everything Michigan’s weather throws at them—from heavy snow loads to intense storms—with total confidence. And thanks to the Renolit textured PVC interior, these pools aren’t just strong—they’re also sleek, modern, and comfortable to the touch.
Installation? A breeze. Once permitting is squared away, your Plunge Plus pool can be installed in a matter of days—not months. That means you’ll be soaking, lounging, and enjoying your backyard sanctuary faster than you ever thought possible. And unlike many other pool systems, Plunge Plus doesn’t require a concrete slab, which can simplify your overall backyard design and speed up the timeline even more.
Every pool in the line includes a thoughtfully designed standard package that brings together everything you need for both form and function. We’re talking:
- A steel-reinforced concrete shell
- Renolit textured PVC interior
- Surface skimmer and return fittings
- LED lighting for evening ambiance
- C-200 cartridge filtration system
- Variable-speed Super Pump
- Stainless steel handrail
- Complete maintenance equipment kit
And yes—a 10-year watertight guarantee is included with every installation for peace of mind.
These pools all feature a uniform 48” water depth, which is deeper than most plunge pools, giving you that comfortable, soak-worthy depth while still making it easy to stand and socialize. There are no sloped bottoms or awkward corners—just a flat base for easy standing and lounging. The result? A pool that’s incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and ideal for everything from quick morning dips to long afternoon lounge sessions.
Every model also includes a space-saving bench/step combo, which not only adds ample seating but can also be upgraded with hydrotherapy jets for a spa-like experience. It’s a great way to relax tired muscles, entertain guests, or just enjoy a quiet soak under the stars.
With a smaller water volume, these pools require less maintenance and fewer chemicals, and because of their size and high-efficiency filtration, heat circulates more evenly, making them easier (and more affordable) to warm up on those chillier days.
In short, Plunge Plus is perfect for Northern Michigan homeowners who want a luxurious, low-maintenance pool that looks amazing and fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. Whether you’re envisioning a serene private escape or an outdoor space made for entertaining, this is a pool that checks all the boxes—and then some.
Four Sizes. Endless Possibilities.
Whether you’re working with a compact space or going all-in on a backyard retreat, there’s a Plunge Plus model that fits just right:
The Nantucket (7’ x 13’)
Perfect for smaller spaces or cozy courtyards. Compact, elegant, and just enough room to unwind.
The Vineyard (9’ x 16’)
A great all-around option with a bit more space to stretch out and entertain.
The Cape (9’ x 21’)
For those who want more room to move—ideal for lounging, floating, and socializing in style.
The Cape+ (9’ x 21’ total)
Combines the 9’ x 16’ pool with a built-in 4’ x 9’ spa. It’s the best of both worlds: plunge pool meets spa relaxation.
Make It Yours: Custom Upgrades & Luxury Add-Ons
One of the best things about the Plunge Plus line is how easily it transforms to match your lifestyle and design dreams. Whether you’re envisioning a sleek, modern oasis or a spa-inspired escape, the customization options are almost endless.
Looking for a little luxury? Add a hot tub or spa jets for soothing soaks. Want the whole pool to feel like a spa? Opt for the Venturi jet upgrade, which delivers stronger jets and creates that full-body hydrotherapy experience.
You can also take your pool to the next level—literally—with an elevated pool design wrapped in elegant stone veneer. Enhance ambiance with waterfalls, a sunshelf for lounging, or a second bench to increase seating space. A shallow end can be added for kids or just easier entry and exit.
Style-wise, there’s room to express your personal taste. Upgrade the interior from the standard Renolit textured PVC to a plaster finish or go all out with a full tile finish for a showstopping, resort-worthy look. Add waterline tile to give the pool a refined detail, or even choose a tile interior for bold design statements.
Convenience features abound too: go hands-free with a wireless control system and protect your investment with an autocover that keeps the pool clean and safe at the touch of a button.
And for those who like to stay active, a swim tether system can be installed for resistance training in place—perfect for low-impact workouts that don’t require a full lap pool.
In short? With Plunge Plus, you’re not just choosing a pool—you’re creating your own personal paradise, designed exactly the way you want it.
Explore Even More Backyard Bliss
While the Plunge Plus line is a standout favorite, it’s not the only way to elevate your outdoor space. If you’re looking for something a little different, we’ve got two other premium options to consider—each with their unique advantages.
Quantum Line: Next-Level Strength & Style
Made from advanced composite materials, the Quantum line offers a plunge pool that’s not just durable—it’s built like nothing else on the market. These pools are 200 times stronger than steel, with superior flexural and impact strength, plus higher UV resistance to keep them looking sharp year after year. They’re also 30% lighter than concrete, which makes installation even easier, and available in a variety of customizable colors to match your personal style.
Wellness Line: Hot, Cold & Everything In Between
Looking for a spa experience with therapeutic benefits? The Wellness line has you covered. Choose from a range of hot tubs, cold plunges, or go all-in with a dual plunge that features both—perfect for alternating between hot and cold therapy to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and boost recovery. With multiple sizes and configurations, this line is ideal for anyone who wants to bring wellness home in a big way.
