Section 1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF AN ENDLESS POOL FASTLANE
The Fastlane® swimming machine by Endless Pools is a hydraulically-powered system that creates a
smooth, adjustable-speed swim current in a conventional pool. The Fastlane has been fabricated with the
nest, most durable materials and designed to meet the most stringent safety standards including VGB
2008. The swim current produced is wider than your body and deeper than your stroke — far superior to
currents created by one or more jets. Two 3/8" (9,5mm) hydraulic hoses carrying a non-food grade, biode-
gradable 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 uid 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" (40,6cm) 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. It is best if the Power Unit is within
25' (7,6m) of the Swim Unit to minimize pressure loss. An optional 6" (15,2cm) LED swim pace display is
available to monitor your speed.
Note: All of the 316L stainless steel screws provided for the assembly of this unit should be tightened to
the recommended 25 in-lbs of torque.
W = Wall Mount Fastlane D = Deck Mount Fastlane
The Fastlane can be mounted one of two ways:
The Wall Mount Fastlane fastens to the wall of the pool using the bracket provided. Two 1 1/2" (38mm)
PVC pipes which serve as conduits for the hydraulic hoses run under the pool deck to a remotely located,
5-horsepower, hydraulic Power Unit, as shown in Figure 1.1.
Fig. 1.1
The Deck Mount Fastlane fastens to the pool deck using the hanger bracket provided. The two hydraulic
lines then run back to the remotely located, 5-horspower, hydraulic Power Unit. The hydraulic hoses can
be run through a conduit or run aboveground, as shown in Figure 1.2.

Section 2 CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR FASTLANE
The Fastlane can t in virtually any swimming pool. For optimal water ow, we recommend that you allow
at least 12 feet (3,7m) 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 (.83m2) of water intake to eliminate any entrap-
ment hazards. The water depth where the Fastlane is installed must be at least 39" (99cm) deep. In addition,
the Fastlane must be installed no closer than 24" (61cm) 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 hydraulic hoses
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 11. 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 run greater than 25' (7,6m), you must transition from 3/8" (9,5mm) hydraulic hoses to 1/2"
(12,7mm) run hoses with the addition of a junction box as reviewed in Section 5.

The bracket is to be installed into the pool wall as shown in Figure 4.2 so that the two threaded mounting
rods are 1-1/2" (38mm) above the intended waterline for the pool, which is typically halfway up the skim-
mer. The "Waterline" mark on the bracket will sit along the pools intended waterline.
Level and position the bracket so that the PVC surface of the bracket will be ush with the nished surface
of the pool wall as shown in Figures 4.2. and 4.5. The area below the bracket should be no more than 5
degrees less than the vertical down to at least 39" (99cm) below the waterline. The Fastlane is 21" (53,3cm)
wide. Consequently, the 21" (53,3cm) section of wall where the bracket is located should be straight or
near straight.
The threaded rods attached to the bracket must be tied back to the rebar of the pool with rebar wire. Once
encased in concrete, these rods will serve as a suitable hanger. The threaded rods must penetrate 1-1/4" to
1-1/2" (31,8mm x 38mm) into the nished pool and will be used to hang the Fastlane

Once the bracket is tied back to the rebar and positioned, unroll the exible PVC from the wall mount
bracket back to the hydraulic power unit. Any bends in the exible PVC should be gradual sweeps and not
sharp to allow the hydraulic hoses to easily be fed through each conduit. Each length of PVC must be no
longer than 21ft (6,4m) and should exit the ground near the hydraulic power unit. Glue the PVC ex pipe
into the thru-wall ttings at the wall mount bracket (Fig 4.3).
1-1/2" (38mm)
PVC Flex Pipe
Fig. 4.3
If the distance between the wall mount bracket and the hydraulic power unit is greater than 25ft (7,6m)
then a junction box and additional ex pipe must be employed. In this case, the ex pipe between the wall
mount bracket and the junction box must be 24ft 6in (7,5m). This will allow the hydraulic hoses attached to
the Fastlane to terminate just inside the junction box. See section 5 for additional information.
The threaded rods must be tied into the pools bonding grid. Secure a bonding clamp to each threaded
rod. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to each bonding clamp. These wires MUST be attached to a bonding
connection that’s incorporated into the pools bonding grid. In most cases this will be a connection at the
rebar. Verify ALL bonding connections are tight before shooting gunite (Fig 4.4).

Prior to shooting gunite, it is critical that the opening of each thru-wall and the threaded rods that extend
into the nished pool be covered. No gunite can be embedded in these areas.
After verifying the bracket is positioned, bonding connections are secure, and thru-wall openings/threaded
rods are covered, gunite can be shot (Fig 4.5).
