Poita33 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I own a Michael Phelps Masterspa. It could be my imagination but it seems my legs tend to sink more swimming in the spa than in a pool or lake. When I wear a wetsuit it helps keep my legs up and not falling to the bottom. Do others have the same experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 we have a prop-powered Masterspas H2X, which is the precursor to the Michael Phelps. The newer H2Xs are cheezily designed and have jets instead of a prop. I don't consider jets to truly be a "swim" spa. For the record, my wife has swam in H2X, Swimex and Endless Pool with "fastlane" propulsion, and she likes the propulsion from Endless Pool best, but we could not find a used fiberglass Endless for as cheap as we found a used H2X. The steel-framed Endless Pools are an endless nightmare of leaks, insulation issues, thousands in upkeep, and thousands of dollars from a "certified" tech to assemble one, etc, so I was not going to buy a used one of those, no matter how cheap. I swim in the H2X rarely, but was a competitive swimmer as a kid. I find your problem to be true as well, for me. My wife swims in it regularly and I find she has the same challenge, but she seems to not mind it. I did a ton of modifications, of which, I don't expect you do do as well, but one of them was to create a new grate for the propeller that tilts up slightly and makes the wave push you up just a bit. Not a full solution, but it helps. I also bought a Michael Phelps propeller as a possible upgrade and was not impressed. I ended up using a Torqueedo prop for sea-going electric boats. It's design has modern knowledge of water propulsion and is not 1910 tech like the Masterspas props are. They come from trolling fishing boats. you can browse my modifications here. https://www.youtube.com/user/slkttop/search?query=h2x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetofloat Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi, I'm new here, but thought I would say that I use a tether system and it works well. I feel as if I'm swimming in a lake or pool, no rushing water etc.. my legs do not sink as there is no current. It's just a two foot pole with comfortable band for my hips and rubber tubing to the pole.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
