Good to know!

In conventional counter-current systems, the water is aspirated by a pump and returned to the pool at increased pressure. BINDER, however, relies on high-quality, maintenance-free, and waterproof turbine technology.
The turbine generates an even upper and lower flow and prevents localised pressure on the head or shoulders. You can conveniently control the intensity via remote control or other optional controls such as the BINDER24 app, the piezo switch, or the illuminated optical control panel – BOB, even while swimming.
With EasyStar, you get a counter-current system that can be retrofitted and installed in just a few steps. Fixed installation directly in the pool is possible with HydroStar.
The turbine in both systems is powered by an energy-saving 24V DC electric motor, which is continuously cooled by the surrounding pool water. No dry room or seals are required, and a standard 230V connection is sufficient for power supply.

The turbine swimming systems from BINDER are available in different versions, making them suitable for almost any pool size. They can be integrated permanently into the pool wall or retrofitted using a mounting system. The permanently installed HydroStar version is integrated into the pool wall and requires a total depth of just 515mm.

The EasyStar retrofit system is mounted on the edge of the pool and only protrudes 530mm into the pool.
Due to the unique turbine technology, BINDER counter-current systems take up far less space than conventional counter-current systems and do not require a separate shaft outside the pool.

Depending on the size of your pool, you can choose between our solutions with one or two turbines. This way, you can also enjoy swimming “in your own four walls” without having to turn round constantly.

BINDER turbine swimming systems asystems are available in eight different power levels – with one or two turbines.
Systems with one turbine: 160m³/h, 215m³/h, 275m³/h & 600m³/h
Systems with two turbines: 320m³/h, 430m³/h, 550m³/h & 1200m³/h
The flow intensity can be regulated individually via remote control, Piezo/BOB, or app. This allows you to perfectly adjust your pool with counter-current system to your needs. Which variant is right for you can be determined during
a non-binding and free trial swim at one of our many dealers.

The flow intensity of the turbine swimming systems can be individually adjusted. BINDER offers several options for this: By default, the turbine power is regulated via remote control, which can also control the separately available LED pool lighting.
As pool accessories, BINDER also provides two buttons for operating the systems: a classic stainless steel piezo and BOB, the illuminated optical control panel. BOB is unique on the market and uses LEDs to display the set flow strength, like an optical speedometer.
Additionally, the counter-current systems can be operated via the BINDER24 app. The app also allows you to create individual training programs or control the optional lighting.

The volume flow that best suits your training level depends on your individual preferences. The best way to find the ideal turbine power is to take a free, no-obligation trial swim. You can test the turbine swimming systems not only at many specialist swimming pool retailers, but also at the BINDER showroom in Frankfurt am Main and at the company headquarters in Hamelin.

The costs for a counter-current system vary depending on the version and installation type. HydroStar is permanently integrated into your pool and EasyStar is available as a retrofit counter-current system. The prices therefore differ from case to case. Our experts are available at any time to provide you with a price without any obligations. Simply contact the sales representative responsible for your area.

You are also welcome to take a test swim in our counter-current systems.

“We provide a 36-month guarantee on our turbine swimming systems. You can of course also rely on our customer service for as long as you have one of our counter-current systems.”

Mathematically, BINDER calculates the flow rate of the counter-current systems by multiplying the flow velocity by the size (area) of the outlet opening. But you don’t have to do that. The special design of our systems ensures they provide a broad, soft and powerful current. In practice, this is the case with a flow velocity of about 3.1 metres per second and an outlet opening with a width of 150 mm, which corresponds to 160 cubic metres per hour.

The cover of the HydroStar is made of high-quality stainless steel as standard, but can also be coated in other colours on request. Experience shows that the stainless steel look fits best into most pool and bathing areas. The EasyStar is supplied in white or grey as standard, but you can also change the colour of the angled section and cover on request.

Our counterflow systems are suitable for all types of pool: whether steel, aluminium, concrete, polystyrene or plastic, HydroStar and EasyStar can be installed in any type of pool.

For optimal installation of our HydroStar counter-current system, the pool should be at least 4.5 m long and 2.5 m wide. For EasyStar, the minimum dimensions are 5 m x 2.5 m. There is no upper limit.

Yes, the EasyStar mounting system is available for retrofitting. It is installed by the dealer at the edge of the pool in just a few steps and features the same functions as HydroStar.

Our turbine-driven counter-current systems can also be integrated into round pools.

Yes, our systems consume 50 to 80 per cent less electricity than conventional systems.
