How easy is it to install an Endless Pool?
In most cases, anyone who can build a deck, pour a concrete slab, or build an enclosure is capable of installing the Endless Pool. Those who install your pool do not need to be pool professionals. The Endless Pool is shipped in kit form for bolt-together assembly by two reasonably handy persons following the step-by-step videos provided. Some homeowners do it themselves, but most hire a contractor. Because Endless Pools are sold factory direct, most pool dealers do not want to become involved with equipment they do not sell, so it is probably better to work with a local carpenter or contractor than with a pool dealer. We also have a network of Factory Trained Installers who are available to install your pool. For more details call our design representatives at 800-732-8660. Back to FAQs
Where can I install an Endless Pool?
The Endless Pool can be installed inside, outside, above, partially or fully in-ground. Because the pool is shipped in kit form, it can even be installed in an existing room, like a basement or garage. Most pools are installed indoors for year-round exercise. However, in warmer climates the pool is often installed in the backyard, or on a patio or deck. Back to FAQs
How much does it cost to install an Endless Pool?
With our Swim Today Program one of our Factory Trained Installers will install a standard Endless Pool in an existing, level, ground floor space, for only $3,500. Back to FAQs
Can I try a Pool before I buy?
Yes. Although our pools are sold factory direct worldwide, we have a network of demonstrator pools where you can try an Endless Pool. If you would like to take a swim please contact our design department at 800-732-8660. Back to FAQs
How much does it cost to operate?
The operating costs are about the same as for a hot tub or Jacuzzi. Costs can be controlled by utilizing the appropriate level of insulation for your geographic location, maintaining an ambient temperature in the pool room, and keeping the pool covered when not in use, etc.
Back to FAQs
What maintenance is required?
Unlike a traditional pool, an Endless Pool requires very little maintenance, on average a few minutes each week to test the water and add some Clorox bleach. Also the Endless Pool cartridge filter needs to be replaced three to six months, depending upon pool use. The copper/silver cartridges used to kill bacteria and algae, also need to be replaced every three to six months. To help customers we provide a separate video on pool maintenance with every pool. Back to FAQs
What about humidity for indoor installations?
Humidity is always a concern when you bring a body of water indoors. Because the Endless Pool is small in size, it is easy to control humidity by keeping the pool covered when not in use. A floating blanket which can control about 90% of the humidity is included as standard equipment. The optional Retractable Security Cover can control 100% of the humidity when in place. Click Here for more on humidity. Back to FAQs
What about customer service?
At Endless Pools our customer are our #1 priority all of the time, without exception. Our staff of over 100 experienced architects, designers, engineers and customer service professionals are available, at your convenience, to help you plan, install and maintain the Endless Pool of your dreams. We pride ourselves on our high level of customer support and offer lifetime Toll Free support. Back to FAQs
Does the Endless Pool really work?
It really works! You really can swim or exercise in place against a current set at a speed you select, for as long as you like. No more trips to a membership pool. Imagine the convenience of being able to swim in the privacy, comfort and safety of your home anytime day or night. Because the current holds you in place, you never reach the end of your Endless Pool. This unique swim-in-place feature allows the Endless Pool to be much smaller than a conventional pool, while providing all of the benefits of a full-size pool. The Endless Pool is so carefree it even maintains your favorite water temperature automatically! Back to FAQs
Is it difficult to keep the pool clean?
The Endless Pool uses a new copper/silver purifier to help sanitize the pool water. This system automatically adds ions to the water to inhibit bacteria growth and copper ions to kill algae. You must still use a small amount of chlorine to oxidize the contaminants. In most installations, a cup or less of unscented Clorox bleach each day is sufficient. This amount of chlorine is substantially less than the amount needed in a typical chlorinated pool. Back to FAQs
How fast is the current?
The current can go as slow or as fast as you want. At top speed, the equivalent swim would be a mile without turns in less than 20 minutes. We should emphasize that the Endless Pool is primarily a constant swimming machine, not a sprint machine. Because you never reach the end of an Endless Pool and you are swimming against a current, the swim tends to be "more concentrated" than in still water because you swim at a constant pace. Back to FAQs
How often do I have to change the pool water?
The Endless Pool is filled with a garden hose. The water is changed every one to two years, depending upon use. Back to FAQs
Is there architect and designer support from Endless Pools?
Architects, professional designers and engineers on the staff of Endless Pools, Inc. are available at no charge to review sketches of proposed Endless Pool sites. Back to FAQs
Can I do water aerobics?
Yes, the standard Endless Pool is ideal for waist deep aquatic exercise in still water, or against a gentle current that can go as slow or as fast as you want. Our optional deeper section is suitable for non-swimming vertically oriented water workouts. This deeper portion can be any depth you want customized to your requirements to provide chest-deep or shoulder-deep water for water walking and aqua aerobics, or even depths up to six feet for running against the current in a wet vest. Back to FAQs
How does the Endless Pool compare to a lap pool?
Personal lap pools are usually one lane wide, about 3'-6' deep and usually require a 50' to 75' length to satisfy most serious swimmers. The Endless Pool takes up much less space, is simpler to install (particularly indoors), easier to maintain and more economical to run than a traditional lap pool. Back to FAQs
Can two people swim at the same time?
Our Dual Propulsion Endless Pool comes with two independently controlled variable speed swim currents which enables two people can swim side by side at the same time. Back to FAQs
Is it hard to swim in the Endless Pool?
It usually takes only a few seconds to learn how to swim "against the current." Most first-time swimmers are so thrilled by seeing how easy it is that they pop up and say with a big smile, "this thing really works!" Back to FAQs
What sizes are available?
The size of the Endless Pool Standard System is 8' wide and 15' long. The pool stands 42" high. The water depth in the Standard System is 39", which is the depth of most lap pools. Because the Endless Pool has a modular design (and is not tied to a mold) we can provide custom sizes to make your pool up to three (3) feet wider, up to two (2) feet shorter, or two (2) feet longer than the Standard System.
Back to FAQs
How does the swim current operate?
The swim current is generated by a 16" propeller inside a protective stainless steel case that is driven by a hydraulic motor. There is no electric connection at the pool site. The current is totally adjustable in speed from zero to a racer's pace. The current goes down the center of the pool, enters a grill in the underwater back bench, and circulates to the front of the pool inside the two side benches. In this way the Endless Pool establishes a continuous loop of water that the swimmer controls. The Endless Pool current is much superior to currents generated by jets or paddle wheels. The Endless Pool propulsion unit can move a huge amount of water - up to 5,000 gallons a minute - under low pressure from a large opening (21"x18") producing a river-like current. Back to FAQs
Can I use it as a hot tub?
The Endless Pool can be fitted with optional jets to create a spa-like environment. The Endless Pool is primarily intended for water exercises and fun including swimming, aqua-aerobics, and aquatic therapy. It is not generally advisable to exercise in water that is warmer than 90°F.
Back to FAQs
How deep is the pool?
The depth of the water in our standard pool is 39", which is the standard depth of a lap pool. This depth is sufficient for most swimming activities. If you want a deeper pool for standup exercises-like aqua aerobics or wet-vest running-we can tailor-make the pool to any depth you want up to six feet. For more information on planning a deeper pool please click here.
Back to FAQs
What is the minimum room size needed to install an Endless Pool?
Since the Endless Pool can be installed in a corner of a room, access is normally required only at one side and one end. The minimum clearance for at least one side is about four feet and for one end is about three feet. This would mean that a minimum room size for a standard 8' x 15' pool would be about 12' x 18'. The standard pool, however, can be made 1' or 2' shorter for a custom 8' x 13' pool. This shorter custom pool could fit comfortably in a space that was only 12' x 16'. Back to FAQs
What is the pool made of?
The walls of the Endless Pool are made of six 14-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel panels that bolt together to form a rectangle. Inside the steel rectangle goes a heavy-duty vinyl liner that is 50% thicker than the industry standard. The Endless Pool comes with a 10 year structural warranty. The interior components, including the system that generates the swim current and the underwater perimeter benches, are made of highest grade "316 L" stainless steel.
Back to FAQs
Can I get trapped in the current?
The current of the Endless Pool is confined to the center of the pool. If you want to get out of the current, all you have to do is take one step sideways out of the current into calm water. The water on the sides of the pool is calm enough for others to sit comfortably on underwater perimeter benches without getting "washed away" even when the current in the middle of the pool is at full speed. Back to FAQs
What if I relocate? Can I take my Endless Pool with me?
Yes, you can take your Endless Pool with you. Since the Endless Pool is shipped in kit form for bolt-together assembly on site, it can be unbolted and relocated to a new site. Each time the pool is relocated, there are some parts and components that may have to be replaced. The total cost of these replacement parts should be about $500 each time the Endless Pool is moved.
