After years of development, Fitmax Inc is proud to introduce the iPool®, the latest innovation in resistance swimming.
Now available in the United States, the iPool® (stands for “infinity pool”) provides a user with hours of swimming at
1/20th of the price of a traditional pool. The iPool® can fit into your garage, basement, backyard, or greenhouse. The
compact SUV size gives you all the benefits of swimming with fewer chemicals and less space required.
The iPool® is the flagship product of Fitmax, a California-based company that is committed to providing consumers
with access to quality fitness benefits typically found only in the finest fitness centers in the world.
Known as the best form of exercise to train or strengthen the cardiovascular system, swimming minimizes the stress
and impact on joints that typically lead to the most common muscular and spinal injuries. According to organizations
such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 117 million adults suer from various chronic diseases
such as arthritis and high blood pressure. Many of these adults would benefit tremendously from the unique
exercises that swimming and water immersion provide.
Unfortunately, many people do not have access. Traditional swimming pools cost can cost over $40,000.00 to install,
require large backyards, and are dicult to maintain. For parents who have children, traditional swimming pools can
be dangerous areas requiring constant supervision. Pools at health clubs are loaded with harsh chemicals because
of the volume of people that use the pool (and the bacteria that results). Similarly, community swimming pools are
crowded, are not always accessible at the times convenient to your schedule, and may be hard to get to due to
trac or distance.
Fitmax introduces the iPool® as a low-cost alternative for people seeking the low-impact, high-energy exercise
that swimming provides. The iPool® costs thousands less than traditional swimming pools and propulsion system
swimming machines but allows the user to swim without the hassle of turning around or jet-streams blowing in his/
her face. In fact, the iPool® costs about as much as a treadmill but gives you the unique benefits of water buoyancy
and hydrostatic pressure.
More importantly, the iPool® takes up a total footprint of only 8.5ft x 11.5ft x 8ft of space, less than a minivan or even
some sedans. In most places, the iPool® uses about $3 of water to fill up, and can be assembled in less than an hour.
Because it is so easy to assemble and uses minimum parts, it is portable and can also be taken anywhere that you
wish to go.
iPool® is a revolutionary new aquatic fitness system that oers unparalleled versatility and aordability within the
realm of above ground pools. For those looking for a lap pool, the iPool® has a resistance harness that allows you to
swim constantly, without ever having to change direction or turn around. For those looking to rehab an injury, our
therapy pool oers fitness capabilities, while being easy on your joints and muscles. For those looking for a total
body workout, our available aquatic fitness accessories can transform your iPool® into a total body fitness center.
With these, as well as our many other options, the iPool® is truly the perfect choice for anyone looking for a new
therapy, exercise, or lap pool!

What Chemicals Will I Need For The Pool?
Answer:
It is recommended that the pool pH be monitored weekly. Testing strips can be purchased online or
at your local pool supply store. Ideal water pH range is best determined by consulting your local pool
supply store because of regional dierences, but generally will fall within a pH of 7.0 to 7.6.
To maintain ideal pH balance both a pH increaser (alkaline) and a pH reducer (acid) will need to be
purchased. These can be purchased online or from your local supply store.
A small amount of chlorine will also be needed unless a salt water system is being run. Generally
speaking because of the small size of the pool, it will often be a few ounces. Both tablets and
powders can work. Please refer to the recommended proportion given by the chemical manufacturer
or check with your local pool supply store.
Finally, a few drops of a pool clarifier per week is recommended. These can be purchased online or
at your local pool supply store and assist in keeping the pool clean by clumping smaller particles
together to be more easily caught by the filter cartridge.
How Long Should I Run The Filter Pump?
Answer:
It is recommended to run the filter pump three to six hours in order to keep the water well
oxygenated and prevent algae from growing in the pool. Please ensure the filter cartridge is clean
and change the filter cartridge once a month. A timer can be used in conjunction with the filter pump
to control how long it is running. It is not recommended to swim in the pool while the filter pump is
running.
