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. |

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. |
