AquaTrek Pool Wheelchair: Durable, Submersible Access for Aquatic Therapy
For aquatic therapy environments, public pools, and spas, standard wheelchairs simply cannot withstand the harsh corrosive nature of chlorinated water. The AquaTrek Pool Wheelchair is specifically engineered to solve this operational challenge. Constructed from furniture-grade PVC and reinforced with stainless steel fasteners, this chair is designed to be fully submerged without rusting, corroding, or degrading over time. It provides a dignified and safe mode of transport for patients moving from the locker room directly into the pool, eliminating the need for hazardous transfers at the water’s edge.
Institutional facilities will appreciate the chair's ergonomic features designed for ease of use by both patients and caregivers. The unit features a retractable footrest and swing-out armrests, facilitating safe and easy lateral transfers. Its lightweight frame, combined with high-quality graphite hand rims and Nylatron bushings, ensures smooth maneuverability in wet environments where traction and control are critical. Whether used in conjunction with a ramp system or a zero-entry pool, the AquaTrek Wheelchair ensures that mobility challenges do not become a barrier to effective aquatic therapy.
Key Benefits:

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Is the AquaTrek Pool Wheelchair completely rust-proof for use in saltwater pools?
Yes, the AquaTrek Pool Wheelchair is engineered from furniture-grade PVC and utilizes 316 stainless steel fasteners, making it chemically impervious to rust and corrosion. This specific material composition is ideal for saltwater sanitization systems and high-chlorine environments where traditional metal chairs would rapidly degrade. The UV-resistant PVC structure will not peel, chip, or become hot to the touch in direct sunlight, ensuring long-term durability on outdoor pool decks. It is a maintenance-free investment designed to withstand the harshest aquatic elements indefinitely.
-
Will the chair float away or tip over when the user stands up in the water?
No, the chair is designed with specific ballast and venting properties to ensure it remains stable and grounded on the pool floor, even when unoccupied. While the frame is lightweight enough for easy transport on land, it effectively neutralizes buoyancy underwater to prevent the unit from tipping or floating away during use. This stability provides a secure, stationary platform for users performing aquatic exercises or resting in the water. However, for maximum safety, we always recommend engaging the dual locking brakes whenever the chair is stopped on a slope or flat surface.
-
How do the swing-away armrests assist with patient transfers?
The chair features a swing-away armrest design that allows the side panel to open fully, creating an unobstructed path for lateral transfers. This is critical for users moving from a standard wheelchair or bed, as it allows them to slide sideways onto the pool chair without having to be lifted over a rigid side barrier. This feature significantly reduces physical strain on caregivers and promotes independence for users with upper body strength. Combined with the retractable footrest, it ensures a safe and dignified entry process.
-
Can the wheels damage delicate vinyl pool liners or tiled surfaces?
The AquaTrek is equipped with specialized non-marking rubber tires that are soft enough to protect vinyl liners and custom tile finishes from scratches, tears, or scuff marks. The wheel hubs utilize self-lubricating graphite bearings (or nylon bushings) rather than metal ball bearings, ensuring smooth rotation underwater without the risk of seizing or leaking grease into the pool. This design consideration ensures that the chair is fully compatible with residential pools, protecting your waterproofing investment while providing necessary accessibility.
-
What is the weight capacity and maintenance requirement for this chair?
This standard model boasts a robust Safe Working Load (SWL) of 350 lbs, supported by its reinforced, double-walled PVC frame architecture. Maintenance is incredibly low-effort; simply rinse the chair with fresh water after each session to remove residual chemicals and store it out of direct sunlight when not in seasonal use to preserve the plastic's finish. There are no batteries, hydraulics, or complex mechanical parts to service, making it a reliable "grab-and-go" solution for daily therapy or recreation.
