Summary of Contents for Endless Pools FASTLANE

  • Page 1 FASTLANE ® By Endless Pools, Inc. OWNER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 When pumped at high pressure, this hydraulic fluid creates a swim current by turn- ing the shaft of a submerged stainless steel hydraulic motor in the Fastlane Swim Unit, which in turn rotates a 16" diameter propeller. The Power Unit is activated using a 3-button radio frequency remote control that can turn the unit on and off and adjust the speed.
  • Page 3 The Fastlane can fit in virtually any swimming pool. For optimal water flow, we recommend that you allow at least 12 feet between the wall on which the Fastlane is installed and the opposing wall in line with the Swim Unit. The Fastlane has more than 9 square feet of water intake to eliminate any entrapment hazards.
  • Page 4 If the pool being constructed is gunite or concrete, please follow the instructions below. Parcel 6 includes the Wall Mount Fastlane bracket for concrete or gunite pools. Two (2) 24' 6" rolls of 1" poly pipe are shipped separately. The standard bracket is comprised of the following components (refer to Photo 4.A.1):...
  • Page 5 Wall Mount Bracket will sit along the pool’s intended waterline.) The rods penetrate 1-1/4" to 1- 1/2" into the finished pool and will be used to hang the Wall Mount Fastlane. These rods must be tied back to the rebar of the bond beam in the pool and, once encased in concrete, will serve as a suitable hanger.
  • Page 6 If installing the provided 1" poly pipe (standard installation), the Wall Mount Fastlane ships with two (2) 24' 6" rolls of 1" poly pipe. From the rear side of the pool, feed each 1" poly pipe into the liquid-tite fit- tings and tighten the cord grip on the 1"...
  • Page 7 Remove the star thru-wall fittings and threaded rod pieces with hex coupling nut attachments from the 1/8"- thick, grey PVC template. Position the PVC template where the Fastlane will attach to the pool wall and align the bottom of the template with the expected water level in the pool (which will typically be located at the centerline of the skimmer) as shown in Figure 4.4.
  • Page 8 Remove the liquid-tite fittings, bonding lug assembly, and threaded rod pieces from the 3/8"-thick, grey PVC bracket plate which serves as a template. Position the PVC template where the Fastlane will attach to the pool wall and align the bottom of the PVC template with the expected water level in the pool (which will typically be located at the centerline of the skimmer).
  • Page 9 F a s t l a n e S w i m U n i t I n s t a l l a t i o n ® Fig. 4.8 Remove the duct-taped PVC template from the pool wall. Drill the openings for the liquid-tite fittings, bonding lugs and threaded rod holes.

Only when the concrete has cured is it okay to remove the washers and jam nuts and install the Fastlane. Note: Do not throw away these washers and nuts, because they will again be used to anchor the Fastlane to the pool wall.
  • Page 11 • Roll of anti-corrosion tape If installing the optional junction box with the 1" poly pipe: • The Fastlane ships with two (2) 24' 6" rolls of 1" poly pipe. Do NOT cut down the length of this 1" poly pipe.
  • Page 12 The packaging can be collapsed and used as a protective surface upon which to assemble the Fastlane. The foam packing material can be used to wedge under the base to prevent it from tipping over. 6.2 Take care when handling or working with any of the stainless steel components of the swim unit. The ends can be sharp.
  • Page 13 Bond Wire Repeat this process for the 1" Stainless Steel Screw other side of the Fastlane (4 per side) Fig. 6.4A Fig. 6.4B 6.6 Use the provided stainless steel screws to attach the upper housing to the base. There will be 4 screws per side (total of 8).
  • Page 14 ® 6.7 Carefully lay the Fastlane onto its front face. Run the hydraulic hoses up the back of the upper hous- ing. The two hat channels will be placed over the hydraulic hoses. Make sure that the mounting hole in the end of the hat channel is facing up and that the bottom of the hat channel has been inserted into the notch in the cylindrical base.
  • Page 15 F a s t l a n e S w i m U n i t I n s t a l l a t i o n ® 6.9 Slide the horizontal water-conditioning grill back into its track inside the housing. The horizontal grill is the wider of the two grills (Fig 6.7).

  • Page 20 Fig. 9.1 9.2 Carefully lay the assembled Fastlane down on its front face. There are six pre-drilled holes in the cen- ter of the top housing (between the protective hat channels). Align the top set of holes in the rear of the housing with appropriate number hole in the hanger bracket (if the freeboard is 6"...
  • Page 21 Once the hoses are in the hose clip, tighten the hose clip screw. 9.5 Secure the stainless steel bond wire (that exits the top of the Fastlane) to the bond lug attached to the hose cover tray.
