Little Pool Co. Range: Shapes, Sizes, and What They Cost in WA

The Little Pool Co. range is manufactured by Compass Pools Australia, and the engineering is what sets it apart from conventional fibreglass.

Three elements do the structural work. A non-corrosive composite exoskeleton, Maxi Rib technology, and a ceramic core combine to let the pools be installed on almost any site.

Why It Installs Above Ground

That construction is why these shells can sit fully above ground when most fibreglass pools cannot. The exoskeleton carries the load rather than the surrounding soil, which suits smaller sites with limited excavation options.

• Full fibreglass construction using GRP, or glass reinforced polymer
• No steel, so nothing to rust
• No timber, so nothing to rot
• No concrete, so the pool remains simple to move

The Shapes in the Range

Little Pool Co. is organised into named ranges rather than a single size ladder, and each answers a different use.

Plunge

The compact end of the range, designed for cooling off and relaxing rather than swimming laps. Plunge models sit shallower than the Relax profile.

Relax

A deeper profile than the Plunge, available in three sizes. The largest Relax model features a beach, which is a shallow shelf suited to sunbathing or to younger children playing safely.

Play

The largest pool in the range and the newest addition. It combines a deep area for swimming with a beach zone and a bench seat, which makes it the family option rather than the courtyard one.

Combo

Combo Pools pair two separate bodies of water in one design, giving a swimming zone alongside a dedicated spa or plunge pod. It suits households that want both without installing two separate products.

Plunge Pods

Plunge Pods are round designs that double as spa-style retreats, sitting at the smallest end of the lineup. They share the same composite exoskeleton as the rest of the range.

Sizes and How They Are Named

Models within the ranges are numbered rather than named, running from Model 3 through Model 6, with variants such as Relax Model 6 With Beach distinguishing configurations at the same model number.

Depth is roughly consistent across the range at around 1.2 metres, with the Plunge sitting shallower than that figure and the Relax sitting deeper.

What That Depth Means

That depth suits standing, cooling off, and supervised family use rather than diving. It also keeps water volume low, which shortens heating times and reduces the chemical load.

Internal dimensions vary by model and configuration, and the manufacturer directs buyers to confirm them with the local reseller for the specific item under consideration. For a WA buyer that means confirming the footprint before the slab is poured rather than after.

Narrowing the Shortlist

The size guide for Perth backyards is a useful reference while narrowing the options, and the small backyard pool guide covers how footprint interacts with the rest of the yard.

What Comes as Standard

The standard package covers equipment that would otherwise be specified separately.

1. A pump and skimmer filter
2. A chlorinator
3. An LED light and skimmer box
4. A basic pool maintenance kit

Pools come nude as standard, meaning the composite exoskeleton is left exposed rather than clad. That is a deliberate choice, because the exoskeleton is engineered to support a cantilever deck built directly to the frame.

For anyone planning decking around the pool, that detail carries real cost implications, since a deck built to the frame avoids the separate structural sub-frame a conventional installation would need.

Finishes and Customisation

If you would rather not leave the exoskeleton exposed, three exterior finish options are available.

The shell interior comes in a set of pool colours designed to integrate with a landscaped area, with a smooth finish for comfort while swimming.

Beyond the finish, a range of optional extras is available.

• Additional LED lighting
• Heating and cooling systems for year-round water temperature
• Balustrades
• Automated chlorination and pH control for lower-maintenance water care
• Upgraded sanitation, including salt or mineral systems

An energy efficient variable speed pump is among the available upgrades, drawing only the power needed at any given time. The energy efficiency guide sets out running costs across the ranges.

What It Costs in WA

Pricing depends on model, size, finish, and site, so a published figure would mislead more than it helps. What can be pinned down is where the money goes and where this range saves against the alternatives.

Delivery and Placement

This is the clearest saving. Because the pools use full fibreglass construction with no heavy steel or concrete, they are cheaper to transport and crane into place than other pre-made pools.

The manufacturer reports savings of between $3,500 and $12,000 on cranes alone when compared with precast concrete plunge pools. On a constrained Perth block, that is a meaningful share of the total.

Site Preparation

The requirement is modest. Each pool is designed to sit on a basic, level concrete slab, which distributes the weight of the shell and exoskeleton evenly, plus a certified electrical connection.

That is a smaller scope of work than an excavated installation, and the fast installation guide covers how the timeline compresses as a result.

Where Costs Vary

The finance options page covers how payment can be structured, and the process page sets out what happens between enquiry and handover.

Why the Construction Matters Long Term

Material choice determines what maintenance looks like across decades, not just at handover.

GRP construction removes the three failure modes that affect other pool types. There is no steel to rust, no timber to rot, and no concrete to crack or resurface.

The coping is part of that. There are no corrosive factors and no regular maintenance required to the coping of the pool, which is a recurring task on other constructions.

Material Advantages

Fibreglass brings the material advantages set out in the guide to above ground fibreglass pools.

• A non-porous gelcoat that resists algae and needs fewer chemicals than concrete
• A smooth interior that is comfortable underfoot and simple to clean
• No resurfacing across the pool’s lifespan
• A flexible shell that absorbs minor ground movement

Relocation

Because the pools contain no concrete, they remain simple to move. That makes the range worth considering if you may not stay at the property, and the overview of modern relocatable plunge pools covers how relocation works in practice.

Installation and Compliance in WA

Installation flexibility is one of the range’s strengths. The shells can be set fully above ground, half raised, or fully in-ground, which means the same model suits very different blocks.

Compliance does not flex, though. All councils and local authorities apply their own rules on pool fencing, so check the building regulations for your area before finalising the layout.

Any pool holding more than 300 millimetres of water requires a building permit in Western Australia and a compliant safety barrier. The guide to pool fencing in Perth covers what that involves in practice.

How It Sits Against the Other Ranges

Little Pool Co. is one of several options, and the choice usually comes down to finish and form rather than capability.

Both this range and the Plunge Pool Factory range offer freestanding fibreglass. The Outback range answers a round steel aesthetic instead, while container pools and the Allcast precast range sit further along the scale.

The breadth of shapes and the cantilever deck engineering are what distinguish this range. If your plan involves decking flush to the pool edge, that detail shapes the build. Where a tiled interior or a steel aesthetic matters more, another range answers better.

Comparing the Options

The design and compare tool puts the options side by side, which is the quickest way to narrow a shortlist before requesting dimensions on specific models.

What Sets It Apart

Four points separate this range from the alternatives in practice.

• Several named shapes across a numbered model series, rather than one form in multiple sizes
• Nude as standard, with three cladding options if you want the exoskeleton covered
• A cantilever deck built directly to the frame, avoiding a separate sub-frame
• A basic level concrete slab as the site requirement
