Answers to your most asked ADA questions.
Q: Does my swimming pool need a pool lift?
A: Any commercial pool under 300 feet must have a sloped entry or pool
lift. Any commercial pool 300 linear feet or more need two forms of access,
one of which must be a pool lift or sloped entry.
Q: What is a commercial swimming pool?
A: Any pool that falls under Title II of the ADA, (Public entities, such
as Municipal Pools), or Title III of the ADA, (Places of public accommodation,
such as a hotel or fitness center pool).
Q: Does my spa, wave action swimming pool, leisure
river, wading pool or sand bottom pool need a pool lift?
A: Yes. They all need one access point. A wading pool must have a sloped
entry. A spa must have a pool lift, transfer wall or transfer
system.
Q: I have multiple swimming pools do they all need
a access point?
A: If your pools serve different purposes such as a lap pool, spa and
a leisure pool then each requires a form of access. If they are in close
proximity a Revolutionand#153; Lift may be able to serve multiple bodies
of water. The Patriot Portableand#153; Lift might also be a good solution
for multiple bodies of water.
Q: How do I know if my swimming pool lift is ADA
compliant?
A: Some basic items to check your lift include:
1) Lifting capacity of at least 300 lbs
2) A footrest must accompany the seat into the water (exception: for spas)
-A rigid seat is advised but not required
3) A manually cranked or manually rotated lift is NOT ADA compliant.
- In order to be ADA compliant the patron must be able to operate the lift
without assistance.
- Already have a 6 inch anchor installed? Check out The Scout
Liftand#153; as a possible solution.
Ranger, Scout and Rebel Pool Lifts are the most popular lifts for the hospitality
industry at this time.
