GENERAL OVERVIEW OF A WALL MOUNT FASTLANE

The Wall Mount Fastlane
creates a smooth, adjustable-speed swim current in a conventional pool. The Swim Unit fastens to the wall
of the pool using the bracket provided. Two 1" polyethylene pipes which serve as conduits run under the
pool deck to a remotely located, 5-horsepower, hydraulic Power Unit, as shown in Figure 1.1. It is best if the
Power Unit is within 25' of the Swim Unit to minimize pressure loss. Inside the 1" poly pipe, two 3/8"
hydraulic hoses carrying a non-food grade, biodegradable vegetable oil run between the hydraulic Power
Unit and the Fastlane Swim Unit, thus eliminating the need for electricity poolside. When pumped at high
pressure, this hydraulic fluid creates a swim current by turning the shaft of a submerged stainless steel
hydraulic motor in the Fastlane Swim Unit, which in turn rotates a 16" diameter propeller. The swim current
produced is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke — far superior to currents created by one or
more jets. 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. An optional 6" LED swim pace display is available to monitor your speed.
Also, customers often place our swim mirror on the bottom of the pool to observe their swim stroke. The
standard Power Unit is available in 5-hp, and an optional 6-hp upgrade is available.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR WALL MOUNT FASTLANE

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 six discrete inlet grills with more than 5 square feet of opening to eliminate
any entrapment hazards. The water depth where the Fastlane is installed must be at least 35" deep. In addi-
tion, the Fastlane must be installed no closer than 24" from any adjacent wall as shown in Figure 2.1,
Minimum Clearance Guidelines.
When choosing a location for your Fastlane, you should also consider the route for the 1" poly pipe to run
back to the Power Unit. The Power Unit needs to sit on a solid, level surface, preferably not on wet ground,
and requires a 30-amp, 220-volt GFCI electric service. For UK and international electrical requirements,
please refer to Section 8. The optional Outdoor Power Unit with Weather Guard may be located outside, but
should not be subject to driving rain. Typically, the Power Unit is located with the other pool equipment
and, if possible, long hydraulic runs should be avoided because of pressure loss. If you wish to have a 1"
poly pipe greater than 25', you must transition from 3/8" hydraulic hoses to 1/2" run hoses with the addition
of a junction box as reviewed in Section 5.
