Swim currentPartlyOnly the E-Series swims on Hydrodrive, a hydraulic propeller; the X and R Series use airless jets, the R's from one two-speed pump.PartlyJets, not a propeller: Trainer models get two patented V-Twin jets on two 5 HP pumps with 10 levels; AquaSport jets are hand-adjusted and the AquaPlay only switches on and off.
Room to swimPartlyNot on the product pages, but 2019-2020 drawings show 6.5 to 11.5 feet of open lane (on the 20-footers, measured to the divider).PartlyHydropool publishes the lane: 88 to 153 inches of usable swim area, about 3.5 feet deep, with no deep version.
Frame and shellPartlyE- and X-Series sit on a 14-gauge galvanized steel frame over an ABS base pan; the cheaper R-Series is wood-framed.PartlyA steel frame under a fiberglass-backed acrylic shell, warranted 10 years against cracking; Hydropool doesn't publish the steel's gauge or coating.
Site prepYesEndless requires a 6-inch reinforced slab or a deck rated over 250 lb/sq ft, and 60 A for E and X models, 30 A for R.YesThe 2024 install guide and pad article set strict rules: a mandatory reinforced concrete pad, level enough that no frame gusset needs more than a 1/8 in shim, and a 50 or 60 A GFCI circuit (two circuits on the 19DTAX).
Running costPartlyCalifornia lists Endless's single-zone models at 351 to 501 standby watts, 70 to 84% of the limit; the insulation isn't described.Not publishedHydropool doesn't publish this.
Dual zoneYesThe 20-foot E2000 and X2000 pair a 15-foot swim side with a 5-foot hot tub, each zone with its own heater and controls.YesOnly the two 19DTAX models are dual-zone: a separate 5-seat hot tub with its own 4 kW heater and pump, on its own 40 A circuit.
Service accessPartlyPanels lift off and Endless asks for 2 feet of clearance, but the E-Series propeller needs scheduled hydraulic overhauls.YesBuilt to be serviced: removable panels, blanket insulation away from the shell, Gecko controls, and published clearance rules of 2 ft all round.
Warranty termsPartlyE and X Series: 10 years no-leak shell and 5 on parts and labor, but only 2 on the Hydrodrive.Partly10 years structure, 5 surface, 3 equipment and plumbing, 1 cabinet; repairs paid only at Hydropool's flat rate, and not transferable.
Cover and lifterPartlyCover and lifter cost extra on every model; Endless sells a polyester-fabric foam cover it says is 60% lighter than vinyl.PartlyA locking, hinged foam Safety Hard Cover comes with the spa; cover removers appear only in the option lists, and the cover has a 1-year guarantee.
Service and originPartlySold and serviced through about 250 dealers; Endless doesn't say where its swim spas are built.PartlyBuilt in Mississauga, Ontario, and serviced by the selling retailer; Hydropool's site lists 178 US retailer locations across 41 states.

Verdict: Endless Pools suits swimmers who want a propeller current (4 models), the longest shell (20 ft) and a shorter shell for a small yard (from 12 ft). Hydropool suits swimmers who want published swim-area sizes (9 of 9 models).

No manufacturer pays us. How we make money

How is the swim current made in Endless Pools and Hydropool swim spas?

Endless Pools uses a propeller in 4 models (E-Series) and jets in 5 (R-Series and X-Series). Hydropool uses jets in 9 models (Aquatic Collection, Executive Collection and Play Collection).

A propeller turns behind a grate and pushes one wide column of water. Jets fire water through a few nozzles, often with air mixed in, so the current is narrower and more broken up. What you feel is the width and steadiness of the water, not the horsepower on the spec sheet. The guide to swim spa jets vs propeller explains the trade-offs.

Which gives you more room to swim?

Endless Pools publishes the open swim area for 6 of its 9 models; the longest is 137.5 by 81 in, on the E550. Hydropool publishes the open swim area for all 9 models; the longest is 153 in, on the AquaTrainer 17AX.

Outside lengths run 12 ft to 20 ft for Endless Pools and 12 ft 6 in to 18 ft 10 in for Hydropool. By length class, Endless Pools has 2 in the 12-foot class, 4 in the 14-foot class and 3 in the 16-foot class; Hydropool has 1 in the 12-foot class, 3 in the 14-foot class and 5 in the 16-foot class. At the dealer, lie out in an empty display of the model you would buy, arms overhead: your feet shouldn't reach the seats. See swim spa sizes, 12-foot swim spas, 14-foot swim spas and 16-foot swim spas, and best swim spas for lap swimming.

Water held runs 1,080 to 2,395 gallons for Endless Pools and 1,345 to 2,409 for Hydropool. More water means more to heat, treat and carry: have a builder or engineer check the pad or deck for the filled weight.

What electrical service do Endless Pools and Hydropool swim spas need?

Endless Pools' models call for 30 to 60 A in total on 1 circuit; Hydropool's call for 50 to 100 A on 1 to 2 circuits. The top of each range is the X2000 and the AquaTrainer 19DTAX. A licensed electrician sizes the circuits for the model you buy. See swim spa electrical requirements.

Which uses less power on standby?

Only Endless Pools has filings we could match: its 7 filed models draw a median 462 W, about 337 kWh a month holding temperature. None of Hydropool's 9 models matched a California filing, so ask the dealer for the model's listing before you compare. The swim spa running cost guide explains the test.

How do Endless Pools and Hydropool swim spa warranties compare?

Endless Pools' structure warranty runs 10 years, equipment 3 to 5 years; coverage does not transfer. Hydropool's structure warranty runs 10 years, equipment 3 years; coverage does not transfer. Read the warranty card for labor and the swim system itself, which some makers cover for less time than the shell.

Which costs less, Endless Pools or Hydropool?

Endless Pools posts list prices from $26,499 to $74,999 (checked Oct 2026). Hydropool doesn't post prices, so a dealer's quote is the only figure. Swim spa cost covers delivery, the pad and the electrician.
