Experience relaxation and therapy with the help of a spa lift!

Spa lifts have helped revolutionize the physical therapy industry. What was once an impossible task for the disabled is now a reality with spa and pool lifts, devices that move disabled users from a wheelchair or mobile device into a pool or spa. Whether it is for a public area, a medical environment, or just for home and recreational use, there are spa lifts available to fit your needs.

How can spa lifts work for me?

Spa lifts work similarly to pool lifts. A central base or pole is anchored onto the deck or side, and a rotating arm extending off of the spa lift moves the user out of the wheelchair and lowers into the pool. For physical therapy purposes, a spa or pool lift which is similar to the overhead patient lifts used in hospitals or by caretakers can be used to move the user through the water. Many spa and pool lifts now have a high weight capacity, and most can carry up to 400 to 550 pounds or more.

What type of spa lifts are there, and how are they powered?

If you use your spa indoors, a spa lift permanently installed by a professional might be the best option. For outdoor spas, you might want to use a spa lift that can be removed from its anchor and stored, if you don't plan on using your spa year-round. There are also spa or pool lifts specifically designed to work on decks, or on spas that are built in-ground. Spa lifts are most commonly powered with a rechargeable battery, however, there are also hydraulic and manual powered lifts, which must be controlled by an attendant. Water-powered spa lifts are also available, and most work simply by attaching a garden hose with ample water pressure.
