Lifeguard Chair FAQ
What safety features are standard on Spectrum Aquatics® lifeguard chairs?
All Spectrum Aquatics Lifeguard Chairs are designed with safety in mind. They feature non-slip surfaces on footboards, platforms, and ladder treads for secure footing. The chairs are also equipped with UV-protected seats for lifeguard comfort and longevity of the chair. Stainless steel components are always hand-polished and treated with our 3-Step Process, protected by Spectra-Shield® for a durable and corrosion-resistant finish.
What is the benefit of a movable lifeguard chair?
Movable lifeguard chairs like the Discovery and Torrey II models offer flexibility in positioning, allowing lifeguards to oversee different areas of the pool as needed. They are equipped with wheels for easy transport, and the Discovery can add a Ballast System for increased stability.
Which lifeguard chair is best for smaller pool decks?
The Stimson and Sapphire models are designed with space-saving in mind. The Stimson features an angled ladder for a smaller footprint, while the Sapphire is ideal for rollout gutter pools due to its minimal setback.
Are there lifeguard chairs designed for specific regulations?
Yes, the Hyalite lifeguard chair is specifically designed to conform to federal OSHA regulations, which are mandated in some states. It features compliant guardrail height and forward distance from the platform, a 360° swivel chair, and a rear access ladder.
Can lifeguard chairs be used for purposes other than lifeguarding?
Absolutely. The Marshall model, for example, is versatile enough for lifeguarding, judging, coaching, or instructing.
What is the Mendota lifeguard chair made of?
The Mendota is our #1 selling lifeguard chair, and is made from recycled high-density polyethylene material, making it durable, environmentally friendly, and resistant to corrosion, oil, insects, fungi, salt spray, and rust.
What is the Ballast System and why is it beneficial?
The Ballast System is designed to provide extra stability for lifeguard chairs, particularly in high-wind or heavy-use applications. It attaches easily to existing portable chairs and is made of molded LDPE with top and side-mounted fill and drain ports. When filled with water, it adds significant weight for increased stability. Ballast Systems are available on the Discovery, Marshall, and Mendota.
