Recommended clear “swimming envelope”: 2.44 m wide × 4.57 m long × 0.91 m deep.
Yes. A practical minimum is 4.2 m wide × 2.1 m long × 1 m deep, and many swimmers prefer a little extra length for comfort. It suits new or existing pools in concrete, fibreglass, or vinyl.
Yes. The BADU Stream II can be incorporated into new builds or retrofitted later by licensed professionals.
For general lap swimming, aim the two nozzles slightly inward and upward so the streams meet about 1.2 m in front of the unit and just break the surface. Turn the nozzle clockwise to reduce flow; use the air regulator to add or reduce bubbles.
For best performance, set the jet centre about 250 mm below the waterline. Mount the air regulator above water level.
Keep runs short where possible. As a guide: use 80 mm pipe up to about 6 m; 100 mm from 6–15 m; beyond that, consult your supplier/installer. Place the pump as close as local codes allow.
Each 4.0 HP pump is single-phase 240 V and typically draws about 11.8 A. Plan two dedicated 15 A circuits (one per pump) and use a licensed electrician per local codes. The pneumatic air button operates reliably up to ~15 m.
Yes. For flooded-suction installations, a flooded-suction pump variant is recommended; isolation valves are also recommended for maintenance.
Close the air regulator for clear-water laps. Open it to add aeration for play or massage.
Yes. A pulsating massage hose accessory can be fitted to a nozzle for hydro-massage. Follow the manual’s guidance and your physician’s advice for therapeutic use.
No. The SwimJet system should run on its own dedicated plumbing, separate from the filtration system.
Drain the pumps and store them dry and protected. Lower the pool water below the jet faces, blow out the lines, and fit the available winter covers before refilling to normal level.
Always supervise children. Exercise within your limits and consult a physician before beginning a program or using massage accessories. Do not operate the unit if a safety cover is missing or damaged.
