ADA Pool Regulations Will Require All Public Pools To Have a Pool Lift And Spa Lift
On September 15, 2010 new regulations were signed into law for ADA compliance in public swimming pools. These changes must be in place by May 15, 2012. The new laws require that all pools open to the public must be equipped with assisted entry systems. Swimming pools greater than 300 linear feet will require two means of assisted entry. An ADA compliant pool lift, or a sloped entry must be the primary means of assisted entry. The secondary means has to be one of the following; a transfer wall, transfer systems, or stairs. For swimming pools less than 300 linear feet, only one assisted entry systems is necessary, and must be either an ADA compliant pool lift, or a sloped entry. The ADA states that for a pool lift to be compliant, it must be able to be remotely operated by a person with a disability from the deck or water level, and also has to meet the location requirements. The pool lift cannot be located in water deeper than 48 inches, with the only exceptions being; the entire pool is deeper than 48 inches, or there is another lift in the pool where the water is no deeper than 48 inches. For wave pools, leisure rivers, and other pools with only one pool entry area, a sloped entry, pool lift, or transfer systems must be in place. Wading pools are required to have sloped entry. Spas must have at least one pool lift, transfer wall, or transfer system. There is still a fair amount of time left to comply, but be sure to check for early-bird specials companies may be offering as an incentive to comply early.
