WaterRower for (absolute) beginners

Various info & facts for absolute beginners with a WaterRower indoor rowing machine. Some of this may apply to other brands as well.


Suggested water levels:

  • 12-14 liters – Children
  • 14-16 liters – Non-Athletes
  • 16-18 liters – Athletes

Use regular tap water. This contains additives which deter the growth of algae. Distilled/purified water has these additives removed, promoting algae growth and should therefore be avoided.
