Victorian pool builder Pools R Us goes into liquidation
Prefabricated concrete plunge pool manufacturer, Australian Plunge Pools, has relaunched under new ownership and new branding.
Australian Plunge Pools Pty Ltd has been recreated from the previous brand Australian Plunge Pools by Taylex, which had been operating from its Gold Coast base for 12 years. The company specialises in manufacturing prefabricated concrete pool and spa packages.
Recently, Australian Plunge Pools Pty Ltd relocated from Ormeau south of Brisbane to Caboolture, north of Brisbane, where they are starting to produce precast concrete plunge pools with custom tiled interior finishes.
Managing director Stefan Ossenberg says that Australian Plunge Pools was created for small backyard owners who wanted a swimming pool.
“The growing trend of living a healthy and modern lifestyle continues to attract many individuals toward leisure services such as spas and pools,” says Ossenberg.
“The most obvious benefit of a plunge pool is they enable people who do not have space for a traditional swimming pool to fit a pool in their yard.”
Ossenberg says the smaller size also means plunge pools are more convenient to purchase and install, and relatively inexpensive to operate using standard filtration. Extras available include spa jets, air bubblers, and heating or cooling.
He says concrete currently has a 10 per cent plunge pools market share, and it is growing day by day.
“The advantage of a precast concrete plunge pool is it can be installed in one-and-a-half to two days – delivered as a plug-and-play fully finished shell with plumbing already in place to connect up to – versus a traditional fibreglass pool of seven to 14 days, or a traditional concrete pool of four to 12 weeks.”
He says that Australian Plunge Pools manufacture their pools in a controlled environment ensuring the best quality product for the consumer.
“We are not looking to be the largest manufacture of precast concrete plunge pools, however we are aiming to become the benchmark for manufacturing of precast concrete plunge pools,” he says.
Australian Plunge Pools Pty Ltd is currently looking for dealers, distributors, resellers and installers.
