How the Fastlane® Works
Bookmark This Page | Send To A Friend
The average home pool is a great place to
cool off, splash around and socialize, but not for swimming
and exercise — five or six strokes brings you to the
end where you have to turn and start over.
The Fastlane is a swim current generator for your swimming pool, similar to a treadmill, that allows you to
swim for miles without moving an inch. Easily installed in
virtually any pool, the Fastlane creates a smooth current
that is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke.
Ideal for swimming, aquatic exercise, and rehabilitation, the
Fastlane makes exercise easy and fitness fun.
The unique Fastlane system produces a non-turbulent current
that can be set to a speed to suit any swimming or exercise
ability. Anyone can use the Fastlane in moments regardless
of age or fitness level. The Fastlane’s highest speed
challenges the best competitive swimmer, yet the current can
easily be adjusted to suit the beginner and everyone in between.
Our Wall Mount Fastlane fastens directly to the pool wall and is ideal for new construction. Our Deck Mount Fastlane attached to the deck
much as a pool ladder does and can be retrofitted to an existing pool. The system
has two parts: a remotely located hydraulic Power Unit that
powers the swim current and Fastlane Swim
Unit that mounts poolside. These components are connected
by two hydraulic hoses designed
to keep electricity far away from the water.
The poolside Fastlane Swim Unit includes a waterproof hydraulic
motor that turns our custom-designed 16" propeller and
an innovative channeling system that straightens and smoothes
the swim current. The motor is powered by hydraulic fluid that is carried through two hoses spanning from the Power Unit to the Swim Unit. At the bottom of
the Fastlane, water enters from all directions, including the
back, through the honeycomb inlet grills. Unlike
a hot tub or pool with a narrow 2" diameter intake, the
Fastlane’s intake is 6.3 square feet in area (nearly
five square feet), eliminating all concerns about entrapment.
The rugged 5 horsepower Power Unit can be located with your other pool equipment, keeping any electricity away from the pool. The
Fastlane comes with 5 gallons of non-food grade, biodegradable vegetable oil
to supply the hydraulic Power Unit system.
