Equipment
A plunge pool is small enough that the water quality is the whole experience. You are in it up to your shoulders, every day, for ten minutes at a time. So we equip every pool from two ranges and nothing else: Naked for the water itself, and Oasis Aquatics by Sunlover for everything that moves, cleans, controls and heats it.
Licensed dealer
Nook Plunge is a licensed dealer for Naked Freshwater Pool Systems and for Oasis Aquatics by Sunlover Heating. Every pool we supply is equipped from those two ranges.
The package
Pool equipment sounds complicated because it is sold as a catalogue. It is really four jobs, and you make one decision about each.
A pump pushes the whole volume through the system a few times a day. This is the one piece of equipment that runs for hours, so it is where the power bill lives.
Oasis V Series variable speed pump
A filter catches leaves, dust and the fine matter that feeds algae. Media or cartridge is a maintenance preference, not a quality one.
Oasis SFG media filter or SE / QE cartridge
Bacteria and algae need something stronger than a filter. This is the decision that changes how the water actually feels, and it is the one worth spending time on.
Naked freshwater, or Oasis CX salt & mineral
A plunge pool holds little enough water to heat cheaply, which is what turns a summer pool into a year-round one. Then hand the running of it to an app.
Oasis iX heat pump + Oasis Smart
Nothing feels as good as swimming in freshwater.
Naked replaces the chemistry, not the plumbing. Water passes over copper and silver anodes and across titanium plates, and comes back clear, soft and holding less chlorine than the water from many household taps. No salt to shovel in. No sting. No smell on your skin an hour later.
Two processes, running at once, on water that is already moving through the filter. There is no separate plant and no extra pump.
Electrolysis passes through the copper and silver anodes, releasing the ions into the water. Those mineral ions hold the water clear, manage bacteria and stop algae taking hold. It is the same principle that kept water drinkable in a copper vessel long before anyone bottled chlorine.
As water passes over the titanium plates it produces small, untraceable amounts of chlorine, which burns off organic matter on contact. The difference is that a Naked pool does not need to retain that chlorine the way a conventional pool does, and not retaining it is exactly what the freshwater feeling is.
Up to 30,000 litres
The plunge pool unit. Same copper-silver ionisation and oxidation as the full-size system in a compact body built for small pools, plunge pools and spas.
Up to 30,000 litres
The MINI with automatic pH dosing bolted on, so water balance holds itself steady between visits.
30,000 – 150,000 litres
Naked's flagship system. Relevant here if the plunge pool is going in alongside a full-size pool on the same block.
All pool surfaces and sizes
Standalone automatic acid dosing. Can be added later rather than at build.
Side by side
All three keep a pool clean. They differ in what is dissolved in the water while you are standing in it, and in what that does to your coping, your garden and your bills.
| Naked freshwater | Oasis CX Freshwaterultra low salt | Conventional salt pool | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dissolved solids in the water | 800 – 1,000 ppm | 1,200 – 1,500 ppm | 4,000 – 6,000 ppm |
| Chlorine held in the pool | Less than many household taps | Standard residual | Standard residual |
| Feel on skin, eyes and hair | No sting, no chlorine smell | Softer than standard salt | Noticeable salt and chlorine |
| Effect on coping, tiles and gardens | Longer lasting equipment and surrounds | Reduced salt exposure | Salt attacks stone and plants over time |
| Ongoing consumables | Up to 50% saving on running costs | Much less salt to buy | Salt, acid and chlorine |
| Runs on | Copper-silver ionisation + oxidation | Ultra low salt or minerals | Salt or minerals |

Oasis Aquatics
Oasis Aquatics is the equipment arm of Sunlover Heating, who have been heating Australian pools for four decades. The pumps are Australian made. The range covers the whole plant room, which is the practical reason we standardised on it: one brand, one warranty conversation, one app.
Circulation
Up to 70% more efficient than a regular pump. A variable 3-speed DC motor running at 50 dBA, quieter than conversation on the other side of the fence.
Circulation
Single-speed alternatives. Corrosion-resistant thermoplastic body with stainless steel internals, diffuser and balanced impeller for quiet, high-flow running.
Filtration
Simple, strong design to keep your pool cleaner for longer. A one-piece heavy duty fibreglass tank on a multiport valve. It is the lowest-maintenance filter there is.
Filtration
Environmentally friendly, high performance filtration. The compact low-height SE suits tight equipment bays; the quad-element QE carries a bigger filter area than most on the market.
Sanitisation
Softer, silkier feeling water, the healthier choice. Runs at ultra-low salt, 1,200 to 1,500 ppm, instead of the 4,000 ppm a conventional salt pool needs.
Sanitisation
Keeping your pool healthy. Adds a heat-junction override so a long heat-up cycle cannot over-chlorinate the water, which is what lets the whole thing run as a true one-pump system.
Water balance
The perfect companion for the CX salt and mineral system. A single peristaltic pump doses acid to an algorithm rather than to a schedule.
Automation
Seamless automation for your pool equipment. Turn the heater up, switch the lights on and start the water feature from wherever you are.
Automation
Sanitation for a healthy and hygienic pool. Monitors pH and ORP continuously and doses to hold them, with the readings on your phone.
Heating
A plunge pool holds a fraction of the water a lap pool does, which makes it the cheapest body of water in Australia to keep warm. The Oasis iX Series is a rapid heat inverter heat pump: it drives hard to reach temperature, then drops into an energy-saving mode and holds it.
Quoted per job The equipment package for your pool is confirmed in your quote rather than published here. Which pump, which filter, whether you go freshwater or low-salt, and whether you heat it, all change the number, and so does your equipment bay, which is the thing nobody can see from a website.
