Entretenir sa turbine de nage à contre-courant

To swim without going back and forth in your pool, you decided to equip it with a Swimeo swim current. You made the right choice, as this installation requires little maintenance. However, it is important to pay attention to it to maintain optimal performance. Discover how to maintain your swim turbine. And for more information, read our guide on swim turbines.

A SWIMEO kit is composed of:

1 1100 W turbine;
1 electrical control box to be installed in your pool equipment room;
1 electrical cable;
2 wireless remote controls (optional for the built-in model);
1 Bluetooth connection kit;
1 smartphone app.

Few components in this kit require maintenance to ensure proper operation. You should mainly focus on the turbine, and more specifically on each of its individual parts. You will need to periodically check the electrical control box installed in the technical room, while also paying attention to the motor submerged in the pool.

Unlike hydraulic turbines, which require servicing every 2 years (oil change and labor) for the power system, electric turbines like Swimeo require very little maintenance.

Maintain the submerged turbine

Regardless of the model, the counter-current turbine is positioned facing the skimmers. Very efficient in terms of energy (50 to 80% less electricity than a traditional pump for a higher flow rate), it generates a laminar flow. Thanks to this wide and horizontal current, it improves the circulation of water in the pool and completes the filtration system.

Our Swimeo models are made of non-corrosive materials. They resist the chemicals generally used for water treatment, such as salt, chlorine, algaecides, or ozone.

The Swimeo swim current is very robust and a long-lasting installation that withstands climate variations. If you do not protect your pool in winter, just remember to turn off the electricity of the turbine.

You should consider the maintenance of the turbine as that of the basin by:

adjusting the pH and chlorine levels of the water;
ensuring good circulation to prevent algae growth.

The maintenance of a swim turbine consists of some simple but essential steps. By following these points, you preserve the longevity and performance of your installation.
