Endless Pools vs SwimEx 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). SwimEx uses a propeller in 1 model (Triton) and a paddlewheel in 7 (400 Series, 500 Series, 600 Series, 800 Series and 1000 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. A paddlewheel moves the water with a turning wheel rather than a propeller or nozzles. 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.

SwimEx sells all 8 models as residential pool systems rather than self-contained swim spas: check what the price includes and what the site needs.

At the dealer, lie out in an empty display of the model you would buy, arms overhead: your feet shouldn't reach the seats.

Water held runs 1,080 to 2,395 gallons for Endless Pools and 2,600 to 7,700 for SwimEx. More water means more to heat, treat and carry: have a builder or engineer check the pad or deck for the filled weight.

Endless Pools' models call for 30 to 60 A in total on 1 circuit; SwimEx's call for 105 to 180 A on 3 circuits. The top of each range is the X2000 and the 1000 S. A licensed electrician sizes the circuits for the model you buy. See swim spa electrical requirements.

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 SwimEx's 8 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.

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

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