How the fastlane works

The Fastlane hangs from the side of the pool much as a pool ladder does, and like a pool ladder can be incorporated into virtually any swimming pool. The system has two parts: a remotely located hydraulic Power Unit that powers the swim current and Fastlane Swim Unit that mounts poolside. These components are connected by two 1/2" inside diameter hydraulic hoses designed to keep electricity far away from the water. 

The poolside Fastlane Swim Unit includes a waterproof hydraulic motor that turns our custom-designed 16" propeller and an innovative channelling system that straightens and smoothes the swim current. The two sweeping stainless steel rails that suspend the Fastlane in the pool carry the hydraulic hoses over the pool coping and into the motor. At the bottom of the Fastlane water enters from all directions, including the back, through the honeycomb inlet grills. Unlike a hot tub or pool with a narrow 2" diameter intake, the Fastlane’s intake is 687 square inches in area (nearly five square feet), eliminating all worries about suction danger.

The rugged 5 horsepower Power Unit can be located up to 200' from the pool, optimally with your other pool equipment. We offer a weatherproof hood should it be placed outside. The Fastlane comes with 5 gallons of biodegradable vegetable oil to supply the Power Unit system
