ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)

The Americans with Disabilites Act requires public accomodations to provide goods and services to people with disabilities on an equal basis with the rest of general public. The goal is to afford every individual the opportunity to benefit from our country's businesses and services, and to afford our businesses and services the opportunity to benefit from their patronage. In our case, the goal is to provide access to every swimming pool, so that people with disabilities will have a greater opportunity to enjoy the benefits of water-based activities.

    Enhancing Aquatic Accessibility


    Routine lift maintenance and cleaning are an important part of ensuring accessibility. Regular service helps prolong the life of your lift, supports daily operation and helps satisfy the ADA's Maintenance of Accessible Features provision.

    Electronic Lift Maintenance
    Electronic lifts are mechanical in nature and contain a motor & gears. Much like an automobile there is a basic level of maintenance required to ensure proper operation. By instituting the following maintenance practices you can ensure optimal lift performance.

             
    Activity Daily Weekly Monthly
    Check/Charge battery    
    Test for normal operation    
    Inspect lift for damage    
    Clean lift and seat, rinse with fresh water    
    Wipe down (dry) lift after cleaning    
    Cover/Store after use    
    Spray/Lubricate all gears    
    Inspect all cable connections    
    Inspect frame, mast, arms, seat    
    Inspect counter weight stack (portable lifts only)    
    Clean battery connections with nylon scouring pad    
    Clean metallic surfaces with cleaner wax    

    Add an Extra Layer of Protection
    Swimming pool chemicals, water and direct sunlight, when mixed together create a potentially corrosive environment for metallic based mechanical systems. This situation is particularly harsh in poorly ventilated indoor environments. The best way to guard against this potent combination of elements is to follow all lift maintenance guidelines, avoid storing your lift near pool chemicals and use a lift cover. Lift covers provide an extra layer of protection against the random splash of chemical infused water and the fading effects of direct sunlight.
