Choosing the Right ADA Pool Lift

The new regulations were introduced for ADA compliance. This is expected to be effective by 15 March, 2012. The new laws demand all pools to feature assisted entry system and to be open to the public. This implies that swimming pools over 300 linear feet will have two assisted entries. An ADA Pool Lifts or a sloped entry is expected to be the means of assisted entry and the secondary means will be transfer systems, a transfer wall or stairs. Swimming pools below 300 linear feet consider only one entry system as mandatory and should be an ADA pool lift compliant with rules or a sloped entry. Points to be considered before selecting ADA pool lifts are selecting an ADA pool lift implies you need a permanent mounted lift or a portable one. Should it be transportable, battery or water powered. Do you wish to go with pool lift regulations; in that case how many lifts are required to be installed. How you plan unloading these units and how much maintenance will each unit take. The portable lifts involves risk of going wrong such as with the drive train, fall into pool, control panel, etc. The points worth considering also includes if kids will be playing in the same unit and how durable will be the lift and if so do you need to cover the lift. It is worth considering from whom to purchase, a company compliant with ADA codes or some local codes. Note that buying from a company offering warranty or repairs is best so that you can call them for issues and parts. Check how long they are in this business so that you can be safe.
