An eco pool is a sustainable swimming pool designed to reduce environmental impact, without sacrificing luxury.
Traditional in-ground pools require months of excavation, thousands of pounds of concrete, heavy machinery, and a permanent equipment structure. An eco pool, like a Modpool, takes a completely different approach: upcycled materials, factory-built precision, and installation in a single day.
Upcycled Shipping Container
Every Modpool eco pool starts as a "like new" single-trip shipping container, material that would otherwise sit idle at a port. We upcycle it into a high-end swimming pool, reducing industrial waste and giving it a purposeful second life.
Minimal Environmental Footprint
No months of construction crews. A Modpool eco pool installs in a single day by crane, a fraction of the disruption and environmental cost of a traditional pool build.
Energy-Efficient by Design
Modpools ship with premium Pentair equipment, high-efficiency pumps, a MasterTemp heater, and full WiFi app control so you run only what you need. The insulated steel shell retains heat better than most traditional pools, reducing ongoing energy costs.
Modpools: North America's Original Eco Pool Company
When people search for an eco pool or ecopool, they're looking for a swimming pool that doesn't require tearing up their yard, pouring hundreds of bags of concrete, or waiting 6–12 months for construction to finish. Modpools was founded on exactly that idea, and we've spent over a decade perfecting it.
Our eco pools are built from upcycled shipping containers, specifically, single-trip containers that have made one voyage from a factory overseas and would otherwise sit unused at a port. Rather than letting that structural steel go to waste, Modpools transforms it into a precision-engineered swimming pool in our controlled manufacturing facility. The result is a durable, beautiful, eco-friendly pool that ships fully assembled to your door.
We're also North America's only patented shipping container pool company. With over 1,500 eco pools installed across the USA and Canada, we've delivered sustainable swimming to homeowners in every climate, from desert properties in Arizona and Joshua Tree, to snowy Canadian winters in Alberta and BC.
If you care about reducing waste and your environmental footprint, but you also want a genuinely luxurious, resort-quality swimming pool, a Modpool eco pool might be exactly what you're looking for.
Why choose an eco pool over a traditional in-ground pool?
Traditional pool builds are expensive, slow, and environmentally disruptive. An eco pool like a Modpool delivers a better experience, faster, cleaner, and built to last, while making a smaller impact on the planet.
How much does an eco pool cost?
One of the most common questions people have when researching an eco pool is cost. Modpools start at $32,500 USD for a 12′×8′ SwimSpa pool, equipped with premium Pentair pump, filter, LED lighting, and WiFi app control, all factory-installed before it ships to you.
Larger eco pool sizes range up to $84,500+ for the 40′×12′ Estate model. Compare this to a traditional in-ground pool, which typically runs $60,000–$100,000+ before equipment, landscaping, and inevitable cost overruns, and a Modpool eco pool delivers significant savings alongside its environmental benefits.
