okk,,,lately ibeen seing alot of ads for these new endless pools,,, which
you can swim in like the ocean and build swimming strength by swimming against the current..
so being the person i am,,, i figure hey,,, i got a pool and i have setup pumps and irrigation >>not saying im an expert,,, but it seems that these "endless pools" are nothing more than a fancy-shmancy free standing pools with a strong pump on a valve blowing water pressure at you imitating a current...
>>>please correct me if i am wrong???
so i decided to check out there webside::::
so im thinking,,,,5 hp "propulsion system">>>i know they aint got rockets
from nasa in these pools,,, so im guessing that is a fancy term for water pump
looking around the internet i found a 6.5 hp pump for under $500>>>
http://www.nextag.com/Alton-6-5-HP-619321531/prices-html
seems to me i would be able to pull water from the pool and affix a tube at one side of the pool to release the water,,,creating a current,, and in theory recreating the "endless pool" in a fixed in-ground pool...
does any of this seem correct,,,or i been hittn tha hash pipe too long???
