90″ AquaGrip® Competition Touchpad – Gutter Mount
$1,850.00
Description
The Colorado Time Systems 90″ AquaGrip® Gutter-Hung Touchpad is designed for competitive swimming facilities that need a wider touchpad surface for accurate electronic timing. Ideal for replacement projects, facility upgrades, and wide-lane gutter-mounted installations, this touchpad gives swimmers a secure finish surface while helping timing systems capture race finishes and splits reliably.
The AquaGrip® surface provides traction for starts, turns, and finishes without sacrificing touch sensitivity. Each AquaGrip® touchpad includes an internal full-face switch, while gutter-mounted models also include top-edge sensing to help capture legal finishes across the active face and along the upper edge of the pad.
Built with durable all-plastic construction and a 10-foot cable with molded connector, the 90″ AquaGrip® Touchpad is made for the daily demands of competitive aquatic environments. It is a strong choice for facilities replacing existing 90-inch touchpads or ordering a custom-fit gutter-hung touchpad for a specific pool configuration.
Why Choose the 90″ AquaGrip® Touchpad?
The 90″ size provides a wider electronic timing surface than smaller touchpads, making it a good fit for facilities with wide competition lanes or existing 90-inch gutter-mounted pad setups.
This model is especially useful when:
- Your facility already uses 90″ gutter-hung touchpads
- You need a wider touch surface than 78″ or 84″
- Your pool has a custom or wide-lane gutter configuration
- You are replacing older Colorado Time Systems touchpads
- You want AquaGrip® traction with full-face timing sensitivity

FAQs
What is the 90" AquaGrip® Touchpad used for?
The 90" AquaGrip® Touchpad is used to record swimmers’ finishes and splits in competitive swimming. It connects to compatible Colorado Time Systems timing equipment and provides an electronic finish surface at the end of the lane.
What does “gutter-hung” mean?
Gutter-hung means the touchpad mounts from the pool gutter instead of attaching to a flat wall. This is common in many competition pools and requires the correct bracket setup for the facility’s gutter profile.
Why would I choose a 90" touchpad?
A 90" touchpad is typically used when a facility has wider lanes or existing 90-inch touchpads that need to be replaced. Matching the correct size helps ensure proper fit, lane coverage, and reliable timing performance.
What makes AquaGrip® different?
AquaGrip® is Colorado Time Systems’ textured non-slip surface. It gives swimmers traction during turns and finishes while preserving the sensitivity needed for accurate electronic timing.
Does the entire touchpad register a swimmer’s touch?
Yes. AquaGrip® touchpads include an internal full-face switch, and gutter-mounted models also include a top-edge switch.
Does this touchpad include a cable?
Yes. Colorado Time Systems lists AquaGrip® touchpads with a 10-foot cable and molded connector.
Can this be used with a System 6 timing console?
Yes, when used with compatible Colorado Time Systems timing infrastructure, the touchpad can connect into a System 6 setup through the appropriate deckplates, wallplates, harnesses, or touchpad connections.
Should I confirm my gutter profile before ordering?
Yes. Gutter-mounted touchpads depend on the pool’s gutter style and bracket setup. Confirming the gutter profile before ordering helps avoid fit issues.
Should touchpads be stored on a caddy?
Yes. A touchpad caddy helps protect the sensing surface, cables, and connectors while making setup, breakdown, and storage easier.
