The Fastlane swim system can be installed in virtually
any in ground concrete, gunite, masonry, vinyl-lined
or fiberglass pool, and in many above ground pools as
well. The Swim Unit can be placed in water as shallow
as 35". Generally speaking, if the pool is deep
enough to swim in, it’s deep enough for a Fastlane.
In addition, the Fastlane must be installed no closer than 24" from any adjacent wall as shown in the figure below, Minimum Clearance Guidelines.
Select a location for the Swim Unit that is at least 14' from the opposing wall of the pool (see diagram to the right). This will provide you a luxurious "lane" to swim in. As you can see, this requirement is easily accommodated by a variety of pool shapes and sizes.
If installing the Deck Mount Fastlane to an existing pool, the Fastlane must have 29" of solid decking from the water's edge to the mounting site because the Swim Unit is bolted to the pool deck. If your
decking is not this wide, simply pour
a fresh concrete pad to secure the mounting bracket.
Once you’ve decided where to locate the Swim
Unit, choose a location for the
Power Unit. The Power Unit should be elevated from the ground and placed on a flat surface. As a practical matter, many homeowners site
the Power Unit with their other pool equipment although
it may be located in a garage or basement. If the Power Unit is placed outside, we recommend purchasing our optional Outdoor Power Unit with Weather Guard to protect it from the driving rain. |
