Another typical question that may arise: How much does the Fastlane countercurrent swimming motor consume?
Once we know all the advantages and characteristics of the Fastlane countercurrent swimming system and the minimum measurements that the pool must take to be able to install it, the other key question arises; how much does it consume?
Consumption of the Fastlane countercurrent engine (technical version)
Remember that this system works with a 5 HP single-phase motor (3,800 W.)
Its operating current draw ranges from 8 to 22 amps, depending on the speed at which the machine is being used. This equipment requires a starting peak of up to 30 amps, so it requires an independent line with a 32 amp thermal rating – Curve C/D
What does this mean?
So that we all understand and get an idea, let’s make a simile with an everyday action at home such as heating a pizza.
Heating a pizza in the oven costs you the same as doing a one-hour workout with the Fastlane system
NOTE: The consumption of the Fastlane countercurrent motor should not worry you, in reality the water filtration system (with a 2HP centrifugal pump) that you can have in your pool and that works between 4 and 6 hours a day consumes 4 times more than this system.
