Pool Lifts

Three numbers pick a pool lift before the brand does: the weight it must carry, how far the seat reaches from the anchor to the water, and the drop from the deck to the water. A pool open to the public needs an ADA compliant lift that anchors to the deck and works unassisted from the water; a backyard pool can use the same lifts or a lighter one a helper runs. The anchor is a separate purchase unless the part number says it is included.

Questions about Pool Lifts

How much does a pool lift cost?

It depends on the capacity, the mount and whether the anchor is in the box. At today's prices the lifts named here run from $4,207.99 to $9,941.99 before the anchor. The Aqua Creek Ranger 2, 350 lb, no anchor, is $4,207.99. The S.R. Smith aXs2, 300 lb, no anchor, is $5,072.99. The Global Legend L-325, no anchor, is $4,899.00. The Global C-375 with its tri point anchor is $7,299.00. The Aqua Creek Mighty 600, 600 lb, is $7,896.00. The S.R. Smith PAL2 portable lift is $9,941.99. Add the anchor where it is not included, and a second battery is the usual companion.

How many pool lifts does my pool need?

Count the linear feet of pool wall. Under 300 ft, one accessible entry, and it has to be a lift or a sloped entry. 300 ft or more, two entries, the first a lift or sloped entry. A spa needs its own entry and a wading pool a sloped entry only. Each body of water is counted on its own, so one lift cannot serve a pool and a spa.

Does a portable pool lift meet the ADA?

Yes, when it is attached to the deck. The standard asks for a fixed lift, and fixed means attached in some way, so a portable lift bolted down with its kit counts. A lift kept in a storeroom and fetched on request does not. It can come off the deck when the pool is closed for the season.

Is the anchor included with a pool lift?

Only when the part number says so. A part number ending in N or NA, or a title that says no anchor, ships without one, and the anchor for that model is listed on its product page. Portable lifts need no anchor; a fixing kit holds them to the deck.

How long does a pool lift battery last?

A 24 V lift battery gives 30 to 40 lifts per charge on S.R. Smith models and about 90 on Spectrum models, charges in 4 to 12 hours, and lasts two to four years. Charge it daily and keep a second one on the charger, because a lift with a dead battery counts as no lift during an inspection.

Can a home pool use a lift that is not ADA rated?

Yes. The ADA covers pools open to the public, not private homes, so a homeowner can choose a lift that needs a helper, such as the Power EZ 2, or any of the ADA lifts. A community pool limited to residents is not covered unless it is rented out or opened to the public.
