Three Quick and Simple Steps to Getting Your Pool Lift Ready for Swim Season

It's time for spring cleaning, take out those pool lifts and make sure their ready for use by following these 3 basic steps:

1. Check your batteries

  • Check to see if any batteries in storage have been charged. Batteries that aren't charged regularly lose their ability to hold a charge and work properly.
  • Check the date on the batteries: most batteries have an MFG date on the silver label on the side. Consider buying a backup battery if your current one is more than three years old.
  • When a lift is taken out of storage (or the cover is removed), test the lift's batteries. You should see a green light on the receiver under the battery and be able to move the lift.
  • Test the remote with the battery in the lift. Replace the battery in the remote and reset it if it doesn't operate at all.

2. Clean & Maintain the lift

  •  Rinse and dry the lift with non-chlorinated water. This will get rid of any contaminants on the surface.
  • To eliminate rust and passivate stainless steel, use Spectrum's Spectra-Clean and Spectra-Shield solutions.
  • Consider purchasing a lift cover.
  • Charge the batteries as often as possible - the more, the better!

3. Lubricate the lift

  • Apply dielectric grease to the contacts of the battery and receiver.
  • Use a light 3-in-1 oil, such as WD-40, to lubricate all pivot points.
  • Using an FDA-approved lubricant, lubricate the bottom bearing assembly via the oil zerk.

Elevating Legrests

Fits perfectly on my powerchair.

a proper durable washable sling ... is piece of mind

wheelchairliberty's website is responsive and has good product write-ups, not un-wieldy, with both price assurance and authorized seller. I didn't need to look further. It was a pleasure to shop on.

Hoyer Classic is a trusted device in it's class with thoughtful design engineering. I know cheap slings might work (many have complaints on amazon such as tearing even failure). But I know Hoyer doesn't suggest modified slings with it's products, I want (at least) ONE sling I know will be trusty and right, and survival in the washing machine is a thought too. Not all fabric products do well in the wash - I know some people use slings daily so I trust Hoyer slings with a warrantee will wash just fine.

Great design for it's class, allows homecare setting, easy to shop on WL

Hoyer Classic is a trusted device in it's class with thoughtful design engineering. I really don't want to attempt saving a couple hundered or paying more for an off-brand little and get surprises. The electric I'm sure will save time - if middle of night lifting is required the extra time of hydraulic would only stretch out a distrought situation.

I saw allot of designs and Hoyer had something others omitted in many parts - the design goes well beyond initial release - it is a matured design from long experience. And HPL402 is actually less than many that have all same specs. I don't want a foldable - my mom can't do that and I hear traveling nurses don't lug along lifts.

Protekt Supreme support mattress

This is a great mattress for people who are physically disabled. I am disabled so this type of mattress is just what I needed.

4 step stair with landing.

Just what I needed. Built like a tank. Stable and I won't have to mess with wood stairs again!
