The pool counter current system allows for exercise in the pool while also providing relaxation through hydro massage. Jet Stream (Counter Current) is an excellent solution for those who do not have a large enough pool for swimming. It also makes the pool more attractive with its hydro massage and therapeutic effects.

Basic Information About the Counter Current System
- The counter current system essentially performs similar functions to a treadmill. When you start exercising on a treadmill, it’s not the size of the room that determines how much you will run, but your choice. With the Jet Stream system, it’s not the length of the pool that determines the exercise; it’s your decision.
- The current in the pool is created by jet nozzles.
- The counter current system is also known as the "Endless Pool." Jet nozzles provide a steady flow of water throughout the pool, allowing you to exercise by swimming without the need for a very large pool.
- When designing jet stream systems, calculations are made based on the pool size and the desired flow rate.
How Does the Counter Current System Work?
Jet stream systems are created by pushing large amounts of water through jet nozzles mounted on the pool walls. Thanks to nozzles mounted at different levels, it is possible to adjust the flow power and direction. The system creates resistance against the swimmer, allowing for exercise even in 5-meter pools with swimming strokes. Additionally, counter current systems are also preferred by swimming instructors. The water flow rate can be adjusted according to the level of each swimming student.
Hydromassage and Therapy Effect
Inside the jet nozzle body, there is a vortex chamber that enriches pressurized water with air bubbles. The pressurized water, enriched with air bubbles, creates a massage effect on the human body. Water-based therapies are becoming increasingly popular. Hydrotherapy, while helping with physical relaxation, has become a sought-after therapy method in recent times due to its ability to promote mental and emotional well-being. In addition to its pain-relieving properties, hydrotherapy also has positive effects on blood circulation. The vibrating effect of the pool's counter-current system stimulates circulation while relieving pain in affected areas.
The buoyancy of water reduces the effect of gravity on the muscles and skeletal system, providing extra relaxation. Traditional pools, with their cooling and recreational features, are enhanced by hydrotherapy and therapy nozzles, offering a pleasant, relaxing, and revitalizing experience.
Jet nozzles placed at different heights and positions provide massage to various areas of the body. Massaging the arms, legs, back, and soles of the feet promotes physical and mental relaxation.
Exercise Advantage
Running and walking are healthy methods to exercise the body. However, many people tire quickly while exercising. According to Archimedes' principle, a person standing in water up to their neck experiences only 10% of their normal weight. Therefore, a person weighing 80kg will feel as if they weigh only around 8kg while submerged in water. As a result, the feeling of lightness has a positive effect on the muscles and circulatory system, providing relaxation. In addition to the buoyancy of water, the massage effect created helps relax the muscles.
