Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mike, I want you to consider a new pool company that is coming into the rehab industry. There name is Vision Aquatics. They are new and I have seen there innovative technology up close. They will set the standard in aquatic therapy as soon as the market hears about them. They are custom pools that allows the therapist to apply therapeutic procedures as the patients needs dictate. Not what the pool dictates. Huge difference. If you have any other questions please reply or call me.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mike After doing research for a pool for our facility (even though the administrators ended up denying it) I looked at endless, swimex, and didn't care for either one. The trouble with the swimex is that the floor is much smaller room than at the top of the pool (unless this has changed recently). Looked at the endless as well, was not impressed with the durability that it showed. It has a removeable liner that didn't look like it would hold up. We decided before it got cut to look at a " custom " pool, where they have standard sizes but you can change depths on them. I don't have the company name with me right now, but can get it to you. Hope this helps, O'Tool, PT Boone Rehab Services On Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 11:43 AM, Northwest Rehabilitation < admin@...> wrote: > Group, > > I am soliciting any and all feedback about SwimEx, Endless Pool or other > manufacturers for an outpatient neuro/orthopedic clinic.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Mike is you want to have 2-3 people at a time, we found it easier to have a pool made, contacted with a company that makes pools, saved a bunch of money doing it that way. They were able to do whatever we wanted as well, with depths of the pool at different levels, stairs and bencnes in the pool. i would think that you would need at least 20 by 40 feet of usuable space. Are you going to put PTs in the pool with patient? then you might need something bigger, We looked at swim ex and other pool companies but decided to go with another company which has worked out really well so far. my two cents thanks Jeff To: PTManager@...: admin@...: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 09:43:58 -0700Subject: Therapy pool options Group, I am soliciting any and all feedback about SwimEx, Endless Pool or other manufacturers for an outpatient neuro/orthopedic clinic.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Mike- We have had a SwimEx for over 10 years at one of our OP sites. It has been trouble free. The instillation was a bit of a bear, however, especially to design access to the controls. SwimEx worked very hard with us to find something that worked with our site and space ( we had a shell of a building, so had some space constraints.) I can't remember how many pieces ( 2? or 1) it came in but I do know that it is designed so that if we moved, we could take it with us through an existing ( wide) doorway The challenge with our Neuro folks is entering and exiting the pool, as SwimEx is standardly a pool ladder. We do have a lift we can use for patients who cannot sit on the edge and slip into the water. We probably underutilize the differing levels for our neuro folks. Use them a lot with our ortho folks. We do have a deep well and replacing the cover flooring takes practice. It does make the system more versatile. The current paddlewheel is awesome- very variable and patients really like it. Hope that helps.
