Frequently Asked Questions About the WaterRower Original
What makes the WaterRower Original unique?
The WaterRower Original is the evolution of the classic WaterRower design first created in 1988. Its solid-wood frame, dual-rail construction and WaterFlywheel combine natural rowing dynamics with a timeless design suited to both home and professional environments.
How does the resistance on the WaterRower Original work?
The WaterRower Original uses water to create smooth, self-regulating resistance. There are no resistance levels to select: the harder and faster you row, the greater the resistance becomes, closely reflecting the dynamics of rowing on water.
What is the advantage of the dual-rail design?
The WaterRower Original features two solid-wood rails with a seat running on eight bearing-mounted rollers. This provides a smooth, stable and quiet seat movement throughout the rowing stroke.
Can the WaterRower Original be stored upright?
Yes. The WaterRower Original can be stood upright when not in use, with the water remaining safely inside the tank. In this position it occupies very little floor space, making it particularly practical for home training.
Can the WaterRower Original connect to training apps?
Yes. Current WaterRower Original models feature the S4 Performance Monitor with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing workout data to be displayed and the rowing machine to connect with compatible indoor rowing apps.
