AquaTrek ADA Compliant Pool Transfer System: Reliable Accessibility for Aquatic Facilities

For aquatic therapy centers, municipal pools, and rehabilitation facilities, meeting ADA compliance while ensuring patient dignity is a primary operational requirement. The AquaTrek ADA Compliant Pool Ladder Transfer System is engineered to bridge the gap between the pool deck and the water, providing a safe, stable, and dignified means of entry for individuals with limited mobility or those using wheelchairs. Unlike permanent fixtures that require expensive construction, this portable system is designed to fit over existing pool walls or built-in steps, offering immediate accessibility without facility downtime.

Built for the harsh environment of commercial pool rooms, the system is constructed from furniture-grade PVC reinforced with an internal aluminum skeleton. This hybrid design delivers the structural rigidity required for heavy daily patient use while remaining completely impervious to corrosion from chlorinated or saltwater environments. The system features a designated transfer platform and wide, non-slip steps that allow users to transfer from a wheelchair to the platform, and then descend into the water at a safe, controlled pace. It is an essential asset for risk management in wet environments, significantly reducing the physical strain on caregivers and lifeguards during patient transfers.

Key Benefits:

• Full ADA Compliance: Meets or exceeds Americans with Disabilities Act standards for secondary pool access means, ensuring facility regulatory compliance.
• Corrosion-Proof Durability: Constructed from UV-resistant PVC with stainless steel fasteners, guaranteeing a rust-free lifespan in humid and chemical-rich pool environments.
• Structural Stability: Reinforced with a heavy-duty aluminum core to support bariatric loads and prevent flexing during transfers.
• Enhanced Safety Treads: Steps feature a 15-inch deep tread with a non-slip texture to maximize traction for wet feet and water shoes.
• Portable Design: Lightweight enough to be removed from the pool deck for storage or cleaning, yet stable enough to remain stationary during use.
• Versatile Installation: Can be custom-configured to fit over gutters, coping stones, or existing built-in steps, making it adaptable to almost any pool design.
