High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) vs stainless steel

---

HDPE is highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals and moisture, unlike stainless steel, which can rust over time. HDPE pools are durable and can withstand outdoor conditions without degradation. They do not require repainting or special coatings to maintain their integrity.

Pure Plunge pools are a single molded one piece construction with no seems or joins, ensuring high structural integrity. Compare this with stainless steel constructed plunge pools, which are made with a welded overlap join that can be susceptible to corrosion and adding a weak point in the pool. In addition, many stainless steel plunge pools use silicons and liners to help protect the pool from leaks and corrosion which deteriorate over time. Pure Plunge pools are simple one piece design providing peace of mind.

Some stainless steel plunge pools are as thin as 0.5mm, however, compare this with Pure Plunge pools that are a whopping 12MM THICK whilst maintaining its light weight advantage. 

HDPE pools have a smooth surface that is gentle on skin and less prone to causing injuries compared to potentially sharp edges or corrosion spots in stainless steel pools. HDPE's resistance to chemicals makes it safer for use with pool treatments and cleaners without risk of material degradation or leaching.

HDPE is a recyclable material, contributing to sustainability efforts. It can be repurposed at the end of its life cycle, reducing environmental impact compared to stainless steel. 

HDPE has better insulation properties compared to stainless steel, which means it can retain water temperature more effectively. This can lead to energy savings in terms of heating costs, especially in colder climates.
