When it comes to installing
an Endless Pool, the possibilities are limitless.
This section will give you
an overview of specifications for your pool and other things to consider when
thinking about where to install it.
An Endless Pool can fit
virtually anywhere, inside or out. The first step is to review the following
specifications and think about the space in your home that could best
accommodate your pool.
Endless Pool Specifications:
• Standard
Swimming Area: 7' wide x 14' long x 39" deep.
• Standard
Exterior Dimensions: 8'1" wide x 15'1" long x 42" high (without
finishing materials).
• Site
Requirements: A solid, level floor or concrete pad, capable of
supporting 200 lbs./sq. ft. Most ground-floor rooms can support this weight
without difficulty. The vast majority of Endless Pools are installed in
ground-level spaces. (Check out this
exception to the ground-floor rule, built over a garage
in Seattle.)
• Pool equipment:
Your room or outdoor space needs to be 1 to 3 feet greater than the
pool's exterior dimensions to allow for access to the pool and its equipment.
The Water Quality System (which filters, heats and sanitizes the water) and
Hydraulic Power Unit (which creates the swim current) can be contained near
the pool or placed up to 75 feet away.
Other
considerations:
• Installation
Options: The pool can be installed above-ground, partially in-ground,
or completely in-ground.
• Climate:
In warm locations, an Endless Pool can be situated indoors or
outdoors. In colder climates, the majority of our pools are installed indoors
to allow for year-round exercise. However, some owners have super-insulated
their pools to swim outdoors year-round, even in snow!
• Custom Size:
How will you use your pool? If you'd like to have more than one person
exercising at a time, you may to order a pool that is 1 or 2 feet larger in
length and/or width. If you have limited space, you may choose a pool that is
1 or 2 feet shorter in length.
• Optional Deep
Area: You can also request a custom deep area for running, aqua
aerobics and other standing activities. While it is possible to build a
sufficiently strong platform to support a deep area of 13 inches or less, most
of our pool owners choose to excavate to accommodate a deep area.
• Existing or New
Space: Installing a pool in an existing space, especially in a garage
or basement, can be a cost-saving option. A new space provides unlimited
design options for your pool.
• Humidity:
With a properly used cover, very little humidity can escape from an Endless
Pool. The standard floating blanket, included with your Endless Pool, controls
about 90 percent of the humidity when the pool is covered. By installing the
optional
retractable security cover,
you can prevent 100 percent
of the humidity when the pool is covered. If the pool is uncovered less than
one hour a day, a simple room dehumidifier, available in most department
stores, or a window vent fan can generally control moisture. If the pool is
open for many hours a day, often the case in commercial settings, a
commercial-grade dehumidification system may be necessary.
