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 is
totally adjustable in speed from a gentle flow to a racer's pace by simply
turning a knob. The
swim current is generated by a 16'' propeller inside a
protective stainless steel 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, patented system engineered by Endless Pools produces an
ideal, broad, deep, non-turbulent swim current. It is remarkably free of
waves and bubbles, making it ideal for swimming, exercising and physical
therapy.
