What is the difference between the Aqua Creek Ranger 2 and the Admiral?
Capacity. The Admiral lifts 450 lb and the Ranger 2 lifts 350 lb. Both are fixed seat lifts that do not rotate, both suit a flat deck with the anchor up to 19 in. back, and both take the Pro Series covers. The Ranger 2's seat can be switched to either side in the field, which helps when the anchor sits on the wrong hand for the approach.
Which Aqua Creek pool lift reaches the farthest?
The Mighty 400 and Mighty 600 sit 24 to 44 in. back from the pool edge, which clears wide gutters and deck obstacles, and carry 400 or 600 lb. The Revolution XL is built for the biggest setbacks and deepest drafts at 500 lb, and the Scout Excel clears curbs up to 27 in. high. The application chart for each model confirms the reach on your deck.
How do I read an Aqua Creek application graph chart?
Each model has one. Setback, the distance from the anchor to the pool edge, runs along one axis, and draft, the drop from the deck to the water, runs along the other. Plot your two measurements: if the point lands inside the model's range, the seat reaches the water. A point outside it calls for a longer reach model, such as a Mighty or the Revolution XL.
Which Aqua Creek lifts need a helper to operate?
The Power EZ 2 and the Nebula are made for use with help from another person, and the access chairs are pushed by an attendant. The Ranger 2, Admiral, Scout Excel, Mighty, Revolution XL, Neptune and Mighty Voyager have controls the swimmer works alone, which is what a pool open to the public needs. A home pool can use either kind.
When should the actuator on an Aqua Creek lift be replaced?
Aqua Creek recommends replacing the actuator and the other electronic parts after five years of service, even when they still work. Early failure usually comes from side loading, swimmers dropping into the seat or using it to dive. Aqua Creek traces most electronic faults to the battery or the connections, so test the battery before buying an actuator.
