If your yacht pool’s counter-current swimming system is not functioning correctly, there may be several potential causes to consider. These systems may experience malfunctions related to various factors, such as the type of control button used or technical issues within the system. Here, we analyze the most common problems that might prevent your counter-current swimming system from working properly, providing practical tips to identify and solve the issues effectively.

 

The counter-current swimming system with touch button is not working

If your system uses a piezoelectric or touch button for control and it is not working, follow these steps:

 

Check the electrical signal

Ensure that the touch button is transmitting the signal correctly to the electrical panel. Pay special attention to the connections between the button and the electrical cable leading to the panel, often housed in a watertight box located about 10–15 cm away. These connections can deteriorate due to humidity and may need to be repaired.

Inspect the circuit breaker

Check if the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is damaged or faulty. A malfunctioning breaker may prevent the system from starting properly.

Inspect the electric pump

Verify that the electric pump is not short-circuited or damaged. Pump malfunctions are a common cause of system blockages.

Check the ball valves

Ensure that there are no closed ball valves along the suction and discharge pipes. If present, these valves should be opened to allow the proper flow of water.

Inspect the ventilating valve

Check that the air valve, usually located at the edge of the pool or in a raised position, is clean and functioning. A clogged valve can block the airflow necessary for the counter-current swimming system.

 

The counter-current swimming system with pneumatic button is not working

If the system is operated via a pneumatic button, follow the checks listed below:

 

Inspect the button

Check that the rubber on the pneumatic button is not damaged. If the button is filled with water, it will not be able to pump air into the tubing to activate the system and must be repaired or replaced.

Check the air tubing connections

Ensure that the air tubing is not disconnected from either the button or the trigger in the electrical panel. Disconnected tubing will prevent the proper signal transmission needed to activate the system.

Inspect the circuit breaker

As with the touch system, check that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is not damaged, and replace it if necessary.

Inspect the electric pump

Ensure that the electric pump is functioning correctly and that there are no short circuits or malfunctions.

Check the ball valves

Again, verify that no ball valves along the suction and discharge pipes are closed, as this could block water flow. Open these valves to allow the system to function properly.
