What each swim jet needs to be installed
Prices and specs read Nov 4, 2026. Sources listed at the bottom.
The X Series clamps onto your pool edge with no tools or wiring, but it only fits if your edge and walls meet a short list of measurements. The P Series gets drilled into the edge and needs power run to it, and iGarden's own pages disagree on a few of the details.
Measure before you order. If the edge of your pool doesn't suit the bracket, no setting on the unit will fix that.
X Series: clamp-on, battery powered
Covers the X Lite, X Air, X5 and X Pro 10. The jet hangs on the edge and a separate battery box sits beside the pool. Nothing is drilled, plumbed or wired.

| What to measure | What the maker says | How solid it is |
|---|---|---|
| Pool size | At least about 7 by 13 ft (2 by 4 m) | Three sources agree. Two reviews say 8 by 8 ft, which looks unreliable. |
| Water depth | Deeper than 30 inches to mount. About 3.5 ft to swim well. | See the pool-size page for why |
| Edge overhang (coping) | Less than 4 inches | iGarden's store page only |
| Top of edge to waterline | Less than 16 inches | iGarden's store page only |
| Walls | Straight and vertical work best. Inflatable pools not recommended. | Store page and iGarden's above-ground guide |
| Safety tether | Must attach to a fixed anchor | iGarden's store page only |
| Wi-Fi | 2.4 GHz only. A 5 GHz network won't connect. | Store page and one review agree |
| Charging | Not within about 11.5 ft (3.5 m) of the pool, and not while it's running | iGarden's store page only |
| Weight | The jet is about 31 lb. The power box is separate. | Three sources agree |
Two more details. The jet has to stay fully underwater when it runs, and running it dry voids the warranty. Also, none of the pages give the length of the cable between the jet and the battery box, which matters if your deck is awkward.
P Series: drilled in, plugged into house power
Covers the P100, P160, P200 and P230. A bracket bolts through the pool edge, and a control box connects to household power.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| What to measure | What the maker says | How solid it is |
|---|---|---|
| Edge width | At least 18.7 inches (47.5 cm), solid enough to drill | Product page and install guide agree |
| Edge to waterline | Under 8.1 inches (20 cm) | Product page and install guide agree |
| Pool size | Product page: above 4 by 8 m (13 by 26 ft). Support article: 3 m wide, 5 m long, 1 m deep (9.8 by 16.4 by 3.5 ft). | These disagree by a lot. Ask before you buy. |
| Voltage | 100 to 120 volts in the US, and the supply needs at least 1,500 watts of capacity | Two iGarden pages agree. One review says 240 volts. See below. |
| Jet to control box | A 5 m cable kit ($149) is sold for runs longer than 5 m | Store page only |
| Drilling | Standard install drills the edge. A no-drill kit is $249. | Store page only, and it doesn't say which pools the no-drill kit suits |
The power question
This is where the sources fight. iGarden's support article lists 100 to 120 volts for the US. The pwice.com roundup says a 240-volt circuit is suggested and, for the P230, a 20-amp breaker minimum. iGarden's electrical article says a licensed electrician is needed to connect the power supply, while its support article recommends one only outside the US and Australia.
That can't be settled from published pages. The safer move: before ordering, send the electrician who would do the job the model number and ask them to read iGarden's installation sheet. Hiring one is the safer assumption near a pool whatever the support page says.
What installing a P Series costs
iGarden's install guide puts mounting and electrical work at $500 to $2,000. The store page lists an installation service at $0, crossed out from $699, and says it's free "during the sale", with no end date given. If you're counting on the free install, ask what the price is the day you order. Install takes 2 to 3 hours, per the store page.

All read Nov 4, 2026. iGarden X Series store page (measurements, tether, Wi-Fi, charging distance, weight), P Series store page (edge width, height, kits, install service), install guide, electrical article, support: power, support: minimum pool size. Outside: pwice.com, basic-tutorials.com. Most of these are the maker's own pages, so "agree" often means iGarden agrees with iGarden.
