THOROUGHTREAD
Aquatic Treadmill and Chill Spa
Overview
ThoroughTREAD Aqua is an above-ground, robust yet compact, equine system designed for long-term reliable operation. Its smooth surfaces and user friendly controls, provide a safe working environment for the operator and animal. Clear wall panels surround the treadmill to provide a spacious, bright and open environment for horse comfort, and allows the operator to monitor activity of the horse during exercise.
The water storage tank holds approximately 10,000 litres (2642.5 gallons) and may be temperature controlled (heater and chiller optional). The treadmill can be activated at any time during the fill process and the water level may be adjusted at any time throughout the program.
After each session, the water is transferred back into the storage tank where it is filtered and maintained at all times. At the same time, approximately 10% of the water is automatically replaced with fresh water, ensuring optimum water quality for subsequent use.
For units with CHILL SPA option, the same process is followed however chilled water 2-4˚Celsius (35.6-39.2˚F) is transferred into the treadmill. Units can be supplied with multiple storage tanks, each with varying water temperatures.
