Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Poolpod 3.0® is an advanced pool access system designed to enhance user experience with improved safety, reliability, and ease of installation. It accommodates both 'skimmer' and 'freeboard' pool designs, allowing users to be transported up to 1.4m into the pool. The system features electronic transport wheels for easy relocation, updated user controls, and the ability to accommodate a caregiver.

Design and Features
Poolpod champions inclusive, human-centered design, powered by a rechargeable battery supporting approximately 40 cycles per charge. It offers user-defined ascent, descent, and depth controls via tactile buttons or RFID wristbands. The system includes ergonomic controls, a submersible wheelchair option, and fold-down seats for versatile use.

Safety and Usability
Safety features include collision sensors, an anchor presence sensor, overload sensor, arm mismatch sensor, and emergency stop circuits. The platform lift deploys in a single motion, taking about 20 seconds to reach a 1.4m depth, with touch sensors ensuring safety.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation requires two anchors fixed with chemical resin and M16 Stainless Steel Bolts. The Poolpod can be easily removed and stowed for events. Periodic maintenance is recommended for optimal performance.

Market Impact
Poolpod is designed to attract swimmers with mobility impairments, fulfilling discrimination legislation obligations and potentially increasing revenues for facilities. It offers a dignified, independent swimming experience, contrasting with traditional pool hoists that are often seen as undignified.
