The best swimming experience

How to perfectly position your EVAstream

For an optimal counter-current swimming experience, proper installation and positioning of the EVAstream are essential. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance and user experience.

1. Symmetrical Pool Setup
Install the EVAstream centrally in the pool wall, ensuring there are no obstructions such as steps or ledges that could disrupt the water flow.

2. Placing the Turbine
Mount the turbine at a depth of 25-28 cm from the water surface to the center of the turbine. Ensure secure and level installation for optimal flow efficiency.

3. Defining the swim zone
The ideal swimming position is 1.5–3 meters away from the turbine outlet. Positioning the swimmer correctly ensures a balanced and effective counter-current experience.

4. Adjusting the swim machine
Important! Always adjust the machine together with the end user.

For the best swim experience, the swimmer should feel the water flow on the torso for maximum resistance and control.
Adjust the machine position in the niche until the swimmer experiences the optimal water resistance.
Take your time for this step, it is crucial for the best possible swimming experience!

By following these steps, you ensure a smooth installation, optimal water flow, and the best swimming performance with the EVAstream.

Consider the swimming experience during the design phase

In order to create the optimal swimming experience, it is important to carefully plan the positioning of the EVAstream with respect to ladders and platforms. Such “obstacles” could cause a negative swimming experience.

Obstructed water circulation

Suppose you have placed stairs in the left corner of the short side of the pool and positioned the EVAstream on the opposite short side, nicely aligned in the centre. The result is that the flow circulation is not the same on both sides of the pool because the stairs affect the flow. The EVAstream’s output will still be powerful, but the swimmer will experience an uneven flow.

The pitfalls of asymmetrical placement

When the turbine is not symmetrically positioned in the pool, the flow will be unevenly distributed across the pool. The power of the EVAstream remains unaffected, but it generates a whirlpool-like effect in the centre of the pool.

Correct placement and installation of the turbine

The swimming experience depends significantly on the correct installation of the turbine, in addition to the placement of the EVAstream with respect to other pool elements. By placing the turbine at exactly the right height, you ensure that the flow reaches the swimmer’s chest.

By placing the turbine at the ideal height, we ensure that the flow reaches the swimmer’s torso and not the head. We recommend placing the turbine 25 centimetres below the surface of the water. At this position, the horizontal adjustment of the turbine is ideal. The turbine can be adjusted as desired, with a maximum downward tilt of 2 degrees and an upward tilt of 3 degrees.

The swimmer must be able to breathe freely when swimming, and experience a broad, steady flow covering the entire body. Most of the flow should be felt on the swimmer’s upper body.
