This Cocktail / Plumbing Kit includes all the parts you need for your DIY Cocktail or Plunge Pool. Just add locally sourced 2″ pipe (suction side) and 1.5″ Pipe (discharge side). If you haven’t already purchased a design, there are plumbing diagrams and my ultimate DIY guide included that can be downloaded after checkout.
- This kit is suitable for up to 21 000 gallons (eg a 20′ x 10′ x 4′ cocktail pool is only 6000 gallons so this is suitable for all sizes that are in my store)
- 115V Supply for the Pump is required
- This pump is not programmable so you may want to add a timer (not included) so that your pump does not run 24/7
- This kit does not include a heater – there are heating options below that you can add to this kit.

Let’s face it…
The last thing that you want after you have spent all that time and energy building your own cocktail or plunge pool is that it doesn’t work correctly.
Even worse, you buy a whole bunch of parts that you HOPE are going to work together and you HOPE will give you the outcome you are looking for.
A few thousand dollars out of pocket, and you will be sweating it out for sure.
You plumb all the kit it, fill your pool, it’s great for 3 days then goes cloudy because you haven’t got the filtration right. You shock it with chemicals, try to balance things, only to find the same scenario 3 days later.
This is what happens when you don’t have the right parts for the job.
Why Cocktail and Plunge Pools fail
If a filter is too small, not enough of the debris that is suspended in the water gets trapped and the water turns cloudy.
Over time this can lead to further problems and serious unhealthy water that could make you ill.
If a pump is too small, water is not getting turned over (all of it passing through the filter) quick enough which leads to bad filtration and the same outcomes as above.
There has to be a better option….
My Love-Hate Relationship with Pool Builders
I know what things cost and you should not be spending $50K+ all in on a cocktail or plunge pool for your back yard. Hence, I have the guides, plans and designs available in my store, so you can build your own for a fraction of the cost. I have also have put together these “ready to go” plumbing kits available too which will save you a whole bunch of money compared to it being supplied by a Pool Builder.
I’ve put these kits together as I have a serious love-hate relationship with pool builders. I love the really cools designs and features that they create but I HATE the amount of money that they charge for them.
My plans and designs deal with the first problem – how do you build it? Now, my plumbing kits deal with the second problem, what parts do I need that don’t cost the Earth?
Simple and straight forward, they include everything you need for your cocktail or plunge pool setup in your back yard.
You just need to add pipe, pipe cement and fill the sand filter up yourself. Shipping pipe and sand is expensive so best bought locally it will save you money.
- These kits have been put together with parts that I know work well together
- The pumps and filters have been sized for the bodies of water you are buildingÂ
- I’ve put together a good, better and best option to cater for everyone’s budgets.
PLUS
- If you haven’t purchased a design from me already, my Ultimate DIY Plunge Pool Building Guide is included as well as plus the plumbing diagrams you will need to put all of this kit together.
MOST IMPORTANTLY
- If you buy the kit from me, I’m on hand to answer any questions you have whilst you are plumbing it in and putting it all together.
