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.PartlyDepends on the line: a propeller on the two MP models, airless jets on Challenger, air-injected jets on Trainer, a two-speed stream on Therapool.
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).Not publishedMaster Spas doesn't publish this.
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 coated wood frame under an acrylic shell, by Master Spas' own list; nothing published on shell backing, lumber size or frame design.
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.YesClearly published: a 4-inch rebar-reinforced concrete pad, 3 feet of clearance all round, and 50 to 130 amps by model.
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.YesFull foam on every model; where California has a listing, standby runs about half to four-fifths of the allowed limit.
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.YesFour models have a true separate hot tub on its own controls: Trainer 21, Trainer 21D, Challenger 21D and MP Momentum D.
Service accessPartlyPanels lift off and Endless asks for 2 feet of clearance, but the E-Series propeller needs scheduled hydraulic overhauls.PartlyEvery skirt panel comes off and Master Spas asks for 3 feet all round; if the spa is boxed in, access costs are the owner's.
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 and 5 years parts and labor on equipment (Therapool 7 and 3), but first owner only and void if the spa is moved.
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 four-section foam cover comes standard; the lifter is extra, and the swim spa warranty doesn't cover the cover.
Service and originPartlySold and serviced through about 250 dealers; Endless doesn't say where its swim spas are built.PartlyBuilt in Fort Wayne, Indiana with U.S. and imported parts and sold through dealers; warranty service starts with the dealer who sold it, and whether that dealer has its own technicians and parts on hand isn't published.

Verdict: Endless Pools suits swimmers who want a propeller current (4 models), published swim-area sizes (6 of 9 models) and a smaller electrical service (from 30 A). Master Spas suits swimmers who want lower standby power (a 306 W median against 462 W), a separate hot tub zone (4 models) and the longest shell (21 ft 5 in).

No manufacturer pays us. How we make money

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

Both brands sell more than one kind. Endless Pools uses a propeller in 4 models (E-Series) and jets in 5 (R-Series and X-Series). Master Spas uses a propeller in 2 models (Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas) and jets in 13 (H2X Challenger Series, H2X Therapool Series and H2X Trainer Series).

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. Master Spas publishes outside dimensions only, so ask the dealer how long the open water is.

Outside lengths run 12 ft to 20 ft for Endless Pools and 11 ft to 21 ft 5 in for Master Spas. 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; Master Spas has 4 in the 12-foot class, 4 in the 14-foot class and 7 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 925 to 2,445 for Master Spas. 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 Master Spas swim spas need?

Endless Pools' models call for 30 to 60 A in total on 1 circuit; Master Spas' call for 50 to 130 A on 1 to 3 circuits. The top of each range is the X2000 and the MP Momentum D. A licensed electrician sizes the circuits for the model you buy. See swim spa electrical requirements.

Which uses less power on standby?

Master Spas, on the filings we matched: a median 462 W for Endless Pools' 7 filed models against 306 W for Master Spas' 7. That is about 337 and 223 kWh a month just holding temperature. Length and cover change the figure, so compare the model you would buy. The swim spa running cost guide explains the test.

How do Endless Pools and Master Spas swim spa warranties compare?

Endless Pools' structure warranty runs 10 years, equipment 3 to 5 years; coverage does not transfer. Master Spas' structure warranty runs 7 to 10 years, equipment 3 to 5 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.
