INSTALLATION: ADA GUIDELINES

ADA REQUIREMENTS:

The PRO POOL-AT

lift is designed and manufactured to be 100% ADA compliant. But for the

installed lift to be 100% compliant the installation must meet the requirement for CLEAR DECK

SPACE as shown in the diagram to the left. To be compliant, install the lift at 14 to 19 inches

[35.6cm to 48.3cm] from the pool edge, and make sure the deck has the required CLEAR DECK

SPACE as shown.

NOTE: ADA requires a deck slope of no greater than 1:48 as shown.

NOTE: The ADA requires the seat to go at least 18”into the water. To make sure the lift has

enough clearance the lift should be installed at a location with 42”-48” of depth (deck to pool

floor).

4 –POINT PRE-SET ANCHOR INSTALLATION

NOTE: THE 4-POINT PRESET ANCHOR CAN BE INSTALLED IN EITHER A

NEW POOL DECK OR AN EXISTING DECK. BEFORE INSTALLING MAKE

SURE THE WATER-DRAFT IS 12” OR LESS (DECK TO WATERLINE).

INSTALL THE LIFT AT A LOCATION WITH 42” TO 48” OF DEPTH.
