Information regarding the new ADA law & how it relates to pool lifts:
 
What is ADA?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. Enforcement of ADA laws are carried out by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
 
Which parts of ADA are relevant for public bodies of water?
Title III (Private Industry)  prohibits disability discrimination by any place of public accommodation (commercial facilities). Examples of Title III entities would be: Lodging, Recreations, Education, Transportation, etc. Title II (Public Industry)  prohibits disability discrimination by all public entities at the local and state levels. Examples of Title II entities would be: School Districts, Municipalities, Cities, and Counties.
 
What are the specific requirements for bodies of water?
Both Title II and III entities are required to provide “accessible means of entry for all bodies of water”. Bodies of water 300 linear feet and under are required to provide 1 means of access of which must be a primary means (Lift or Sloped Entry). Bodies of water greater than 300 linear feet are required to provide 2 means of access. One must be a primary and the second can be any of the five approved means of access. Wave pools, lazy rivers, sand bottom pools, and other pools where user access is limited to one area shall not be required to provide more than one accessible means of entry provided that the accessible means of entry is a pool lift.
 
What are the five approved means of access?
Pool lifts and sloped entries (ramps) are the two primary means of access for bodies of water. The approved secondary means of access are transfer walls, Transfer systems and stairs. Pool lifts and sloped entries may also be used to meet secondary means of access requirements on lager bodies of water.
 
Are there service requirements for ADA equipment?
Yes, there is a “Maintenance of Accessible Features” provision which states that “a public accommodation shall maintain in operable working condition those features of facilities and equipment that are required to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.” In simple terms, you must maintain your accessibility equipment in an operable manor be it a lift, transfer systems etc.

ADA Handicap Pool Lifts
Swimming pool lifts are special lifting devices used for individuals with limited mobility to easily and safely enter and exit the pool. Since 2010 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires by law that access to aquatic environments be readily available for individuals with mobility challenges or disabilities.
 
Whether you need ADA compliant handicap pool lifts for inground or above ground pools, Pool Supply Unlimited has the best selection of manual, hydro powered and electronic/battery operated ADA pool lifts from industry leading brands like S.R. Smith, Global Pool Products, Spectrum Aquatics and Aqua Creek. With our large selection of pool supplies, from necessary pool ladders and handrails to fun toys & games for the kids, we're the one stop-shop for all of your swimming pool needs.
 
What Makes a Pool Lift ADA Compliant?
For a pool lift to be ADA compliant, it must meet the following requirements:
 
1. Meet ADA equipment service requirements
The "Maintenance of Accessible Features" provision states that “a public accommodation shall maintain in operable working condition those features of facilities and equipment that are required to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.” In simple terms, your accessibility equipment, be it a lift or transfer system, must be maintained to function properly.
 
2. Be an approved means of access
There are five approved means of access. Pool lifts and sloped entries (ramps) are the two primary means of access for bodies of water. The approved secondary means of access are transfer walls, Transfer systems and stairs. Pool lifts and sloped entries may also be used to meet secondary means of access requirements on large bodies of water.
 
3. Meet specific requirements for bodies of water
Both Title II and III entities are required to provide “accessible means of entry for all bodies of water”. Bodies of water 300 linear feet and under are required to provide 1 means of access of which must be a primary means (lift or sloped entry). Bodies of water greater than 300 linear feet are required to provide 2 means of access, a primary and a secondary, which can be any of the five approved means of access.
 
Wave pools, lazy rivers, sand bottom pools, and other pools where user access is limited to one area shall not be required to provide more than one accessible means of entry, provided that the accessible means of entry is a pool lift. We recommend checking the Federal ADA requirements to find the most accurate information regarding your pool lift needs.
 
Choosing Between an Anchored or Portable Pool Lift
Anchored handicap pool lifts are permanently affixed to the deck or cement surrounding the pool, and can often hold more weight than portable lifts, though both options will support at least 300lbs. The battery Global Pool Products Superior Series Pool Lift, for example, will transfer up to 375lbs safely in and out of the pool, a great option for a frequent user who wishes to get in and out of the water independently. If you plan to use a pool lift on a regular basis, we recommend an anchored pool lift.
 
Portable handicap pool lifts like the SR Smith PAL ADA Compliant Portable Pool Lift are ideal for spaces that cannot always support the space taken up by a pool lift. They are also ideal for busy community pools or for seasonal pools, making them available only when necessary as a way to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
