Technical Specifications
SwimEx Pools
Endless Pools
Water Current
The swim current is generated by a paddlewheel located at the rear of the pool and driven by an electric motor. The current moves up to 30,000 gallons per minute (113,562 lpm). The current is 6 ft (1.82m) wide and 18” to 30” (46cm to 76cm) deep depending on the model. The current is the entire width of the pool and is constantly circulated by a paddlewheel putting the least amount of stress on joints than alternative pools.
The Endless Pool swim current is generated by a 16” (40.5cm) propeller inside a 21” x 18” (53cm x 46cm) steel box driven by a hydraulic motor. The current moves up to 5,000 gallons per minute (18,900 lpm). The current is 21” wide and 18” deep (53.3cm wide and 46m) and located in the middle of the Endless Pool. Endless Pool recommends replacing the motor every 3-5 years.
