Repairing SR Smith Pool Lifts
Before ordering anything for an SR Smith pool lift, we look up the exact model number. Parts that look alike often differ between production runs, and matching the model avoids repeat visits.
How we repair your SR Smith Pool Lift
A pool lift is a battery-powered seat on a pivoting mast, mounted at the pool deck, that lowers a person into the water and raises them back out. A pool lift uses a drive motor or hydraulic pump, a drive system of chains, belts, screws or cables, limit switches, safety sensors and a control board. A technician checks power and controls, safety devices, and the condition and alignment of the drive system.
