How the Endless Pool Works
Bookmark This Page | Send To A Friend
The
Endless Pool propulsion unit can move a huge amount
of water -- up to 5,000 gallons a minute
-- through two grills that straighten and smooth the
water's flow. The result is a river-like current that
is totally adjustable in speed from a gentle flow
to a racer's pace by simply turning a knob or by using our optional remote control.
The swim current is generated by a 16'' propeller inside a protective housing
that is driven by a hydraulic motor.
The swim current is remarkably smooth because of an ingenious return system using the pool's
underwater perimeter benches. As the water flows down
the center of the pool, it enters a grill in the rear
bench. The side benches act as return channels that
loop the water from the back to the front of the pool.
Better and Safer
The Endless Pool swim current is far superior to those
produced by jetted spas. These spas pump only a few
hundred gallons of water a minute through high-pressure
nozzles. Their currents are turbulent and very narrow,
even when three or more jets are used. In a jetted
spa, only a small amount of water is moving and the
current speed is greatly diminished by the time it
reaches the other side. In fact, the flow is so low
that there is no need for a return channel system
in a jetted spa.
This unique, current system engineered
by Endless Pools produces an ideal, broad, deep,
non-turbulent swim current that is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke. It is remarkably free
of waves and bubbles, making it ideal for swimming,
exercising and physical therapy.
