What is a countercurrent system?

Functionality of a countercurrent system

A counter-current system offers you the possibility to swim against the current, on the spot. This will save you a trip to the swimming pool and you can even pursue your hobby in a small pool.
Spa Natural provides you with four high-quality variants of the counter-current units:

1. Comfort Stream or standard countercurrent (incl. upstream technology, 2 streams at a 45 degree angle for a perfect water position)
2. River Stream (narrow jets + upstream technology, 2 streams at 45 degree angle for perfect water position)
3. Power Stream (Power Button for more power for counter current + upstream technique, 2 streams at 45 degree angle for perfect water position).
4. BESTSELLER Turbine (2 turbines as counter current system for an authentic swimming pleasure with 8 power levels - no water turbulence, more power intensive, less maintenance, only two, instead of seven pumps, more energy efficient, better water position, better swimming feeling)

For which diseases does a countercurrent system provide relief?

In recent years, we have become much more aware of our health and well-being. In addition to a balanced diet, physical activity also plays a major role for most people. However, there are some people who suffer from chronic diseases and are therefore unable to engage in many types of sports. Often, those affected try to remain physically active. In most cases, cycling or jogging is the first choice, but these activities quickly lead to joint problems. Swim spas with a counter-current system offer the perfect alternative. Our counter-current system can help you with the following diseases (of course, only after prior consultation with your doctor):

• Herniated discs
• Joint problems (e.g.: arthrosis, Achilles tendon rupture, gout, joint inflammation, rheumatism, Reiter's syndrome)
• Ligament injuries
• Muscle tension
• Disorders of the cardiovascular system

Performance swimmers benefit enormously from a countercurrent system

Attention competitive swimmers! With a counter-current system you can bring your training facility into your own home. Our Swim Spas with counter-current system offer you the possibility to swim permanently on the same spot. Especially the version with the turbines is perfect for swim training, because this unit forms a wider jet, so you swim more stable against the current and additionally you have a better balance in the water. With a counter-current system you can also prepare for upcoming competitions in complete privacy and perfect your swimming techniques. Especially in today's time where everything has to go fast, everything is loud and crowded, our Swim Spas offer you a relaxed training without nerve-racking outside influences.

Aquafitness at home

Do you enjoy aqua fitness, but group classes are not your thing? Then our Swim Spas with counter-current system offer you the opportunity to pursue your hobby in absolute privacy. Aquafitness is suitable for every age group. In addition to the active, sporting aspect, aquafitness also has a positive effect on our psyche. You keep fit and at the same time you can leave behind the often stressful everyday life and come to rest in your own home.

What is aquafitness? On the whole, aqua fitness can be described as follows: targeted, gentle gymnastics in pleasantly temperate water. The biggest advantage of this way of keeping fit is that by exercising in water you hardly strain your joints at all, because we don't have to carry our own body weight due to the buoyancy. However, your muscles are strained all the more - in a positive sense, of course. Each of our movements is exposed to a much greater resistance in the water, so they optimally challenge all muscle groups and your energy consumption is heard. In addition, through regular training in the water, you challenge and improve your posture and strengthen your cardiovascular system, through deep breathing into the lungs.

"A rolling stone gathers no moss" - seniors in particular benefit from aqua fitness in their own homes. And you don't even need a large pool to pursue your hobby - our pools with counter-current systems offer you an optimal workout, even in small pools. Of course, the intensity of the training should always be adjusted individually. Our counter-current systems are very easy to regulate, so you can adjust the strength of the jets or the turbine. So, for example, seniors or people who are in rehab can lower the intensity and go slowly, with a slight countercurrent on the spot and increase the training over time.

Conclusion

A counter-current system is suitable for everyone, whether old or young, recreational or competitive. You have the opportunity to increase your physical activity, keep fit, or simply escape from everyday life and enjoy time all to yourself. Spa Natural takes a huge hassle off your shoulders - long distances to the nearest swimming pool and often stress due to group classes are a thing of the past with our counter-current systems.
