Endless Pools - Hydraulic Power Unit & Water Quality System

Hydraulic Power Unit

In addition to planning for the pool site, you must also plan the location of the Hydraulic Power Unit and Water Quality System.

The 5 HP Power Unit pumps the hydraulic fluid (canola oil) that turns the propeller that generates the swim current. The Power Unit operates only when the swim current is on.

The Power Unit can be located adjacent to the Water Quality System or in another space up to 75' from the pool. It requires about 21" x 25" of floor space and should be protected from weather. Allow an additional 6" around the unit for installation and access to the hose connections.

The Water Quality System uses space-age technology to maintain water clarity without heavy reliance on chlorine.

The Water Quality System (WQS) should be located in a sheltered space with suitable drainage.

The WQS requires about 4' x 5' of floor space. (The optional Gas Heater will require some extra space.) It can be located in another space like a garage or utility room up to 75' away from your Endless Pool. The equipment and the lines running to and from the pool should be protected from freezing if they are exposed to colder climates.

Generally, the system should not be installed more than 5' below nor 1' above the surface of the water in the pool. Positioning the WQS at the proper height allows the heater pressure switch to work correctly and the pump to be able to prime itself.

The WQS consists of a cartridge filter, circulating pump, timer, 5.5 KW electric heater or optional gas heater, and pool water purifier. The equipment can be arranged horizontally or vertically to fit specific spaces. Be sure to provide enough space above the WQS to lift off the filter lid and remove the filter cartridge.
