For many people, having a swimming pool is a great way to relax and have fun during the hot summer months. For others, it is a form of physical therapy, and using it can help them in their everyday lives. A swimming pool can be extremely beneficial to those who are mobility impaired, but they need to be able to get into the pool first in order to make use of it. This is where a pool lift comes in. This is something that is created to help people get in and out of pools easily, and can lift nearly 400 pounds. Having a lift installed can greatly improve the life of someone who has disabilities or injuries. Because of the nature of this equipment, it should only be installed by professionals.
Pool lifts are made from non-corrosive materials. This means that they don’t rust. They are hydraulic, and use the water pressure to work. There are two types of swimming pool lifts. One type can be operated by those who are using them, and can be in-pool (the seat stays in the pool until the person is ready to get out) or above ground models (the seat is not in the pool when not in use). The other type needs to be operated by another person. The person entering the pool is placed into a sling, which is then lowered into the pool. ADA approved lifts are available from Sky Blue Pools Nassau County NY.
Pool lifts are safe to use, as they operate on hydraulics instead of electricity. They can be made for any type of swimming pool, including above ground pools, and can be made for any pool height. They make it easy for those who are mobility impaired or disabled to get into swimming pools, reducing the strain on themselves and/or their care givers. For the seat style pool lifts, all the person has to do is sit in the seat and push a button, and they are lowered right into the pool.
