Velocity Swim Jet Counter Current System
1. Description
Velocity Swim Jet by HeatForm – The next generation counter-current swim jets are made here in the UK!
The Velocity Counter Current unit can be installed to a new build pool, or can be purchased with the “Upgrade Kit” so that you can retro fit this to an existing pool – ‘over the wall’.
A powerful, energy-efficient and high performance jet providing the ultimate swimming experience for the modern athlete.
Velocity is the next generation in counter-current swimming machines. Designed and manufactured in the UK by HeatForm, Velocity has been created after years of research and development to produce the most powerful and pleasant resistant-swimming experience.
Utilising unique hydraulic technology, the Velocity swim jet is able to provide power to the pool unrivaled by any existing electric drive system. Working in partnership with cross channel swimmers, triathletes and many other swimming professionals, we have created the ultimate current-like and fully adjustable jet flow stream, suitable for all levels of ability. By incorporating the latest inverter technology within the swim jet, it enables the highest possible power whilst reducing the running costs and noise, traditionally seen with similar systems. Velocity is the first and only swim jet manufactured in the UK, and is in keeping with the HeatForm philosophy of innovative products with a reduced carbon footprint. This not only helps the environment but also reduces the costs to you, the consumer.
Swimming continues to be one of the most popular physical activities and its benefits to both mental and physical health are well known. Increasingly, many people are choosing to exercise at home for their own comfort and convenience and the Velocity swim jet provides an excellent solution for anyone looking to either transform their existing pool into an aquatic workout area or integrate the system into a brand new pool build. For the serious swimmer looking to boost their performance it eliminates the gym commute and the constraints of pool opening times as well as the need for lap work and flip turns opening up the ability to concentrate fully on stroke fluency. Turn down the current, with the simple touch of a button, and the pool becomes a more gentle swim experience for relaxed swimmers and not to mention a brilliant toy for the kids!
Velocity – The Jet Velocity is a hydraulically driven swim jet with several unique design features that set it above and apart from its competitors. At its heart, Velocity is powered by a 4kW 5hp inverter driven motor.
This motor has been designed to utilise the latest in inverter drive technology to give a fully variable and adjustable swimming experience. By using a modern inverter system the Velocity power pack regulates the speed of the motor to adjust the flow of biodegradable hydraulic oil to the main head unit. This is different to other, older systems which require the motor to run constantly at full speed with the flow being regulated by a by-pass valve.
What does this actually mean? The result of using the inverter drive is a quieter, more cost effective system which is much more suited to installation in a European domestic environment. Simply put, inverter technology works on the principle of variable motor speed, the lower the speed – the lower the power consumption and increased saving to your electricity bill. A win for both the consumer and the environment. To make life easier, Velocity only requires a standard 20 amp single phase electrical supply to power the 4kW 5hp motor.
How powerful is the resultant water flow? The Velocity power pack, installed within the pool plant room, provides over 100bar of hydraulic power to the unique head unit situated in the pool. A 42cm propeller developed in conjunction with the UK’s finest powerboat designers generates a perfect flow. The water is then pushed and straightened through the custom designed HeatForm grid system, resulting in a swimming experience second to none. The highest level of water flow achievable is 58 seconds for 100m, suitable for an elite swimmer.
Power and Performance The Velocity swim jet has been created with performance at the forefront. It has been tested extensively by swimmers of all abilities from children and casual dippers through to professional, elite athletes. Whether you swim to compete, for pleasure or to just to stay fit, Velocity’s easily adjustable flow rates enable everyone to jump in and lose themselves swimming against the current. The flow of water at all speeds is smooth, wide and deep giving the feel of your full body swimming in a river current which results in a more natural swimming experience than the more concentrated jet systems found in pump powered swim spas. The speed is fully adjustable via either the main control box or included ip68 waterproof remote control and comes with 10 pre-programmed levels which can be also be adjusted within 2% increments to create the exact level of flow you desire. The main drive system also has an in-built LED display showing your flow rate at any given time, to assist with a consistent training programme. The highest level of water flow achievable is 58 seconds for 100m, suitable for an elite swimmer.
Mounting brackets, start-up oil and connection hoses at 7.5m included.

3. Energy Saving
The heart of the Velocity Swim Jet is the hydraulic power pack which is powered by the HeatForm inverter drive system. This energy efficient motor in turn powers the generously sized 42cm propeller, which when running on anything other than full speed, saves extensively on running costs and noise pollution
By not running the motor at full speed all the time, thanks to the variable control system, the lifetime of the components is naturally extended compared to a motor running at full speed all the time.
