CABINET & COVER CARE OF YOUR
ENDLESS POOL SWIM SPA
Cabinet Care: The natural cedar wood cabinet on your Endless
Pool Swim Spa is made of the finest quality outdoor wood avail-
able. This wood needs to “breathe” therefore a traditional sealer
should not be used on its exterior. It is best to use a wood preser-
vative, such as “boiled linseed oil”, or a semi transparent stain, like
“Cuprinol” that is available at Sherwin Williams stores.
Cover Care: The optional 4”-thick bi fold coordinating cover was
custom made for your Endless Pool Swim Spa with top of the line
materials. Aluminum channel bars form the structure of the cover
for superior strength. Inside, the high-density polystyrene foam
core provides excellent insulation preventing heat loss. Hard
working, 4-mil extruded plastic covers the foam core. The outside
is made off Marine grade vinyl, safe from “cold-cracking” down
to 10 degrees below zero. In addition, it is treated with UV stabi-
lized pigments so the color will not fade.
HOW TO SWIM IN AN
ENDLESS POOL SWIM SPA
The swim current is turned on through the use of a remote control,
which also adjusts the speed of the current faster or slower. When
changing speed, you must press and hold the buttons on the remote,
then wait a few seconds for the current to adjust. Our standard
pool's top speed is roughly equivalent to a 1:08 100 yard pace -- a
speed for expert swimmers only. Set the water speed at a comfort-
able level for your needs. Remember, since you don't have to turn
in an Endless Pool, your workout is continuous and you will tire
faster than when swimming laps in a traditional pool.
To stop swimming, simply press the on/off button on the remote.
If left running, the power unit will turn off automatically after thir-
ty minutes and can be restarted by pressing the on/off button
again. Once you have found an optimal speed for yourself, you
may leave the system at that setting. The controller for the swim
machine is designed with a “ramp-up” feature which forces the
swim machine to start slowly, but will increase to the last setting
at which someone swam.
