Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the rower come with water, or do I have to fill it?
The rower does not come with the water prefilled but does come with a hose and funnel to make filling and emptying the tank hassle-free.
What is unique about water resistance rowing machines?
The 16 fan blades provide unlimited resistance and a dynamic response caused by the interaction with the water. You can change the feel of the rowing stroke by adding or reducing water from the tank. While this technically does not change the “resistance”, it does make the rowing stroke feel heavier or lighter.
What is the maximum weight the rower will support?
Feel confident sitting on our durable design with a 300 LB max user weight limit.
How loud is this when in use?
It's not loud at all. The sound of the water in the tank is gentle and calming.
Can you store it upright?
Yes, the rower can be stored upright with water. We recommend for it to be placed upright against the wall for storage.
Is this a full-body workout?
Yes, this rowing machine is great for working out your upper body, lower body, and core while providing a low impact on your joints.
What is the warranty of my rowing machine?
There is a 3-year warranty on the structural frame and 180-day warranty on other parts and components.
