How is an aquatic treadmill different from a land unit?
One key difference is the reduction of time needed to obtain an equivalent benefit.
Due to the resistance provided by the water surrounding the body(12 times greater than air), the effort and calories expended per minute are significantly greater than using a land treadmill.
This is in addition to the resistance provided by the treadmill itself.
Therefore the time required to gain the equivalent benefit
is approximately 1/3rd of a land unit.
How is the treadmill powered?
The Aquabilt Aquatic Treadmill has no internal power source.
The Power is in you!
This fact allows the user to instantly vary the effort being expended across a broad range of speed and back again, simulating real-life conditions such as strolling and power-walking or hill-climbing and track work.
Water shoes are a necessity to receive the greatest benefit and comfort.
What are dimensions of the treadmill?
L:38"; W:26"; Handrail Height:46"; Weight 54lbs.
How much maintenance does my Aquabilt Treadmill require?
Actually, the Aquabilt Treadmill has been designed to be nearly maintenance-free. All materials used are specified for aquatic and pool environment.
The patented bearing system uses a proprietary combination of proven materials including teflon which is part of the mixture, not a coating.
The treadmill belt makes use of a patented self-adjusting mechanism which will ensure long belt life.
Periodic washing with car wash soap using a terry cloth towel or new sponge are all that is needed to maintain the original finish.
