ENDLESS POOL VS. SWIMEX PADDLEWHEEL POOL

Both the SwimEx and the Endless Pool offer a better flow than standard jetted lap pools or swim spas. Endless Pools use a propeller to push a water flow that is located only in the middle of the pool. It is approximately 21″ wide and 18″ deep. Depending on the swimming or workout requirements, this current could be too narrow.

Using the industry exclusive paddlewheel technology, SwimEx pools with the paddlewheel provide a wider and deeper current than Endless Pools, allowing a swimmer to swim anywhere in the pool or an exercise routine that includes a complete upper and lower body workout using only the current. With a wall of water as wide as the width of the pool and up to 30″ deep, SwimEx pools offer the deepest and widest current flow on the market.

For 30 years, SwimEx has been the leader and innovator when it comes to resistance swim in place pools. When comparing a SwimEx with Endless Swimming Pools, it is important to consider these four qualities:

• Water Flow
• Construction Quality
• Noise Level
• Custom Options

WHY THE “WALL OF WATER” WORKS BETTER

Both the SwimEx and the Endless Pool offer a better flow than standard jetted lap pools or swim spas. Endless Pools use a propeller to push a water flow that is about 21″ wide and 18″ deep, located in the middle of the pool. It is a narrow flow and, depending on the swimmer, may be too narrow for effective swimming.

Using its paddlewheel technology, SwimEx Pools provides a wider and deeper current than an Endless Pool so you can be anywhere in the pool and still take advantage of the current. Imagine a consistent wall of water as wide as the pool and up to 30″ deep. SwimEx offers the deepest and widest current flow on the market.

Finally – it’s about the flow: the current in a SwimEx pool has 99 speed settings and moves up to 25,000 gallons per minute in a smooth river-like current. Endless pools move up to 5,000 gallons per minute.

BUILT TO LAST…EASY TO MAINTAIN

The original Endless swimming pool, which offers their best water flow, is made with a vinyl liner in a galvanized steel shell. The liner needs to be replaced every few years. They also recommend replacing the hydraulic motor every 3-5 years.

Made from strong fiberglass composite, SwimEx pools have the same durable construction as fiberglass boats. The proven design formula sandwiches a balsa wood core between layers of fiberglass, resin and gelcoat for an indestructible, low maintenance pool wall with no liners to replace. With confidence in our construction, SwimEx proudly offers the best warranty in the industry.

EXPERIENCE OUR EXCEPTIONAL POOLS

The hydraulic motor that drives the Endless pool is located at the front end of the pool and can make the surrounding area quite loud.

The SwimEx drive system is mounted below your decking at the rear of the pool, so noise levels are at a minimum for both swimmers and those sharing the space.

At SwimEx, every pool is built to your exact specifications with countless custom options so it looks great in your home and meets your specific exercise needs.

Triton vs. Endless

Superiour Construction

Introduced in 2014, the Triton is the newest member of the SwimEx family. Created for the customer who demands the best or nothing at all, it is unique among the SwimEx lineup since it features a propeller to generate a current instead of paddlewheel. A propeller is also used on Endless pools but this is where the similarity ends.

Endless swimming pools are made with a vinyl liner in a galvanized steel shell. The Endless pool liner needs to be replaced every few years.  Endless recommends replacing their hydraulic motor every 3-5 years. SwimEx pools are made from super strong fiberglass composite, which is the same as our legendary Pearson Yachts. The proven design formula sandwiches a balsa wood core between layers of fiberglass, resin and Gelcoat for a virtually indestructible, insulated, low maintenance pool wall with no liners to replace. The same industrial grade motor that drives the SwimEx paddlewheel pools is used on the SwimEx Triton. SwimEx proudly offers the best warranty in the industry.

The choice is clear. If you want a quiet, virtually maintenance-free swim spa, SwimEx is for you.
