HYDROSTAR PRO Technical Specifications at a Glance
The HydroStar PRO counter-current system generates the flow using turbines rather than pumps. HydroStar PRO produces a significantly wider, more powerful flow than conventional units. The flow surrounds the body evenly and carries it along. That is what makes swimming fun!
- HydroStar PRO turbine controllers can be connected to the building automation system’s programmable logic controller (e.g., Siemens, Loxone).
- In this case, the user does not need an additional BINDER controller and can control each HydroStar PRO individually.
- The other option is to connect the HydroStar PRO systems to the HydroStar PRO central control unit from BINDER. With this option, building automation is not required. However, individual systems cannot be controlled separately.
- HydroStar PRO is frost-proof and therefore does not need to be removed in winter.

FAQs About Lazy River
A lazy river, also known as an artificial river, provides a current similar to that of a natural body of water.
Lazy rivers are used as attractions in water parks, hotels, and campgrounds. They are very popular with guests.
Our counter-current systems generate the current using turbines. They produce a wide, powerful flow that evenly surrounds and carries the body.
This keeps the body balanced and carried along by the current. Guests can relax and let themselves drift away.
- Our patented turbine technology generates a wide, powerful flow
- The body is carried by the water
No, the systems are winter-proof and can therefore remain in the installation shaft even during the cold season.
In a lazy river, you can of course swim against the current. The water flow feels just like being in natural water. However, most swimmers prefer to let the current carry them along.
