FILLING THE WATER TANK
There is of course a direct link between rowing and the element of water. The Foldable Aqua Rower is
therefore the ideal training device on which to implement your rowing training realistically as it provides a
realistic simulation of rowing on water.
The user work load is regulated by the user themselves. Rowing speed is determined by number of rowing
strokes per minute and the pulling power. To increase or decrease the speed of the rowing boat, the rower
must increase or decrease the pulling power and or the number of strokes per minute. This way the user can
adjust their rowing training according to their own current fitness level. Even your form on any particular
day can determine the work load.
The advantage of rowing above other types of endurance sports is that it uses almost 80% of all body
muscles and the calorie consumption with rowing is significantly higher.
Water Tank
The resistance when rowing with the Foldable Aqua Rower is created by water. The water tank needs to be
filled for this. We recommend using plain tap water for doing this. Tap water contains all the necessary
additives to avoid any build-up of algae. These additives have been removed from distilled or any otherwise
purified or filtered water which could cause a build-up of algae in the water in the short or mid-term. After
filling immediately add a water treatment tablet to the tank. Do not at any time use any chlorine bleach or
chlorine used for swimming pools. This can damage the device tank. Replace the water in the tank every 6
months and add a water treatment tablet to the tank each time you do this.
Water Tank Display and Filling Amount
On the water tank there is a water level scale showing 6 different levels of filling. The amount of water
filled simulates or changes the relative weight or size of the boat. The filling amount has no effect on the
resistance but on the mass which the rower has to move. A smaller filling amount represents then a smaller,
lighter boat and the maximum filling amount at level 6 represents a large and heavy boat.
