Building a Pool
Small in Size, Big on Benefits
When it comes to transforming your outdoor space into a personal oasis, size doesn’t always matter. That’s especially true with plunge pools, a growing trend in modern backyard design that combines compact convenience with upscale relaxation.
At Cody Pools, we specialize in crafting pools of all sizes to suit our clients’ unique lifestyles. If you’re looking for a refreshing retreat without the footprint of a traditional pool, a plunge pool might be exactly what you need.
So, What Exactly is a Plunge Pool?
A plunge pool is a small, shallow pool designed primarily for cooling off, light exercise, hydrotherapy, and relaxation. Despite their smaller size, plunge pools offer many of the same benefits as full-sized pools with lower maintenance, reduced costs, and greater flexibility in where they can be installed.
Why Choose a Plunge Pool?
Here are a few reasons homeowners may choose a plunge pool:
- Perfect for Small Backyards
Don’t have the space for a sprawling pool? No problem. Plunge pools are ideal for urban homes, patios, and tight spaces allowing you to enjoy a luxury pool experience even in limited spaces.
- Great for Relaxation
Many plunge pools come equipped with built-in bench seating, heating and cooling options, and spa jets, turning your backyard into a private wellness retreat. Cold plunge? Heated soak? You can have both.
- Lower Cost, Lower Maintenance
Plunge pools are generally more affordable to install and easier to maintain than traditional pools. With less water, fewer chemicals needed, and smaller filtration systems, they’re a smart choice for budget-conscious homeowners.
- Style and Versatility
Whether you’re after a modern, geometric design, plunge pools are highly customizable. They can be standalone features or integrated with other elements like waterfalls, fire features and tanning ledges.
- Fitness and Hydrotherapy
A plunge pool is great for low-impact aquatic exercises, resistance training with swim jets, and post-workout recovery. Athletes and wellness enthusiasts love the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy in a controlled, compact setting.
Is a Plunge Pool Right for You?
If you’re looking for a luxurious, space-efficient, and cost-effective way to elevate your backyard, a plunge pool may be the perfect fit. Whether you’re relaxing solo, entertaining friends, or recovering after a long workout, a plunge pool delivers maximum comfort in a minimal footprint.
At Cody Pools, our award-winning design team can help you create a custom plunge pool that reflects your vision, enhances your property, and provides a daily dose of luxury.

Building a Pool
Fall may signal the end of summer, but it’s far from the end of pool season! In places like Texas, Arizona, and Florida, fall often brings milder temperatures, making outdoor time more comfortable and enjoyable. Here are some of the best ways to take advantage of your pool in the fall and keep it in top shape for next summer.
1. Extend the Fun: Why Pool Season Isn’t Over Yet
In warmer climates like Texas, Arizona, and Florida, fall weather can still be quite warm, allowing for pool days well into October. Cooler evenings offer a refreshing contrast to warm water, especially if you use a pool heater. Enjoying fall pool parties or quiet evening swims can give you the best of both worlds.
Pro Tip: Consider adding lighting for evening swims. Pool lighting can create a relaxing atmosphere and extend your pool’s usability well into fall nights.
2. Lower Utility Bills with Less Evaporation
During the cooler months, the natural evaporation rate drops due to lower temperatures, which means you’ll likely see reduced water and chemical costs. With fewer direct rays from the sun, your pool water remains balanced longer and needs fewer adjustments, saving you time and money.
3. Pool Maintenance: Ideal Time for Inspection and Repairs
Fall is the perfect time to take care of any maintenance your pool might need. As use decreases, performing necessary repairs or renovations becomes much easier.
- Inspect pool equipment like pumps, filters, and heaters for wear and tear, replacing or upgrading as needed.
- Winterize plumbing and equipment if you’re in a cooler region or if temperatures are expected to drop.
- Check pool surface and tile for cracks or chipping, as cooler weather is perfect for repair work.
Pro Tip: Fall maintenance can help you avoid unexpected repairs during peak swimming months, ensuring a hassle-free start to the next pool season.
4. Preparing Your Pool for Winter
Even if you’re not planning to close your pool, taking steps to prep for winter can prevent damage and make next season’s opening easier. Here are a few key steps:
- Balance chemicals to maintain water quality and prevent corrosion.
- Clean thoroughly by skimming, brushing, and vacuuming the pool.
- Cover the pool if you don’t plan on using it regularly. A good cover reduces maintenance, keeps debris out, and reduces evaporation.
5. Plan Upgrades for Next Year
If you’ve been considering upgrades like a new pool finish, energy-efficient pumps, or adding a spa, fall and winter are ideal times to plan or start these projects. By starting upgrades now, you’ll be ready to dive into a refreshed pool next spring without any delays.
Popular Upgrades to Consider:
- LED lighting upgrades to enhance the ambiance.
- Energy-efficient pumps to save on energy costs all year long.
Conclusion: Embrace Your Pool This Fall!
With the right maintenance and a few enhancements, your pool can be a year-round oasis, especially in warmer climates like Texas, Arizona, and Florida. By staying proactive with fall care and upgrades, you’re setting up for smooth pool seasons for years to come.
Pool Service
Owning a pool is one of life’s great luxuries, especially in the Texas heat! But maintaining that pristine blue oasis can sometimes be more challenging than you’d expect. So, when it comes to pool maintenance, should you take a DIY approach, or is hiring a professional pool service the better option? Let’s explore both.
The DIY Route
Taking care of your own pool can be rewarding—if you know what you’re doing. DIY maintenance often includes:
- Water testing and balancing: Ensuring the right chemical levels (pH, chlorine, alkalinity) is crucial for safety and clarity.
- Cleaning: Regularly brushing the walls, skimming the surface, and vacuuming debris are essential.
- Equipment inspection: Checking pumps, filters, and heaters to ensure they’re running smoothly.
While you may save money, the DIY approach can be time-consuming and risky if you’re unsure how to properly maintain your pool. Improper chemical use, for example, can lead to algae growth, cloudy water, or even costly equipment damage.
Why Hire a Pool Service?
Hiring a professional pool service gives you peace of mind that your pool is being handled by experts. Some of the key benefits include:
- Expert chemical balancing: Professionals ensure your pool water is safe and crystal clear without over- or under-dosing chemicals.
- Thorough cleaning: A service provider will keep your pool spotless, handling all the tedious tasks like vacuuming, skimming, and brushing.
- Regular equipment maintenance: With a trained eye, a professional can catch small issues with your pool’s equipment before they turn into expensive repairs.
- More free time: Instead of spending your weekends testing chemicals and scrubbing walls, you can relax and enjoy your pool to its fullest.
