Can I use bore water to fill the pool?
Yes, you can use bore water to fill an Outback Plunge Pool, but it’s not recommended without testing and treatment first. Bore water quality varies across Australia and often contains minerals like iron, manganese and calcium that can cause staining, scale build-up and increased chemical demand if left untreated. What Problems Can Bore Water Cause? […]
Can I use tank water to fill the pool?
Yes, however not recomended. Additional chemicals may be needed to balance the water. Consult your local pool shop for localised advice and the best process for filling the pool with tank water.
How energy-efficient is the pool system?
The Cruise and Smart equipment systems are designed for efficiency, with a UV sanitation system and energy-efficient multi-speed pumps.
Can I use solar power to operate the pump and UV sanitiser?
Yes, solar power can be used to operate the filtration system. A properly sized solar system and inverter can support the pool’s energy needs, making it an eco-friendly option. Note: It is recommended to select the Cruise or Smart system, and you may need to disable the priming cycle on the pump. Instructions for this […]
Are the materials used in the pool environmentally friendly?
Yes, the stainless steel and COLORBOND® Steel shells are fully recyclable, as is the vinyl liner. Also, choosing the Cruise or Smart system reduces environmental impact through UV sanitation, variable-speed pumps, and a cartridge filter system, which traditionally requires less water and chemicals than other pool filtration systems.
Can the pool be heated using alternative energy sources?
Yes, the pool can be heated using alternative heating sources such as solar, wood fire, or heat pumps. These options can easily be integrated into the equipment system.
How does the pool impact local water consumption?
The pool’s cartridge filter and optional cover options minimise water loss through evaporation and the need for backwashing, making it water-efficient compared to alternate pools.
Should I add a pool cover?
Yes, adding a pool cover is highly recommended. A cover reduces debris, prevents heat loss, and can increase water temperature by up to 8ºC by trapping solar energy. It also helps maintain water cleanliness and reduces evaporation.
Should I add a pool cleaner?
Absolutely. We recommend and offer a mini cordless automatic robotic pool cleaner to reduce the time spent maintaining the pool. It’s ideal for managing dirt and debris and ensures easier maintenance.
Should I add a thermal pool blanket?
Most customers do! A pool thermal blanket helps to reduce debris, prevent heat loss, and can raise water temperature by up to 8ºC by trapping solar energy. It’s also an effective way to reduce evaporation and keep your pool clean.
