CARE OF YOUR LIFT
Aqua Creek Pool Lift should not be stored in a pump room or in a storage room where
pool chemicals are kept. Storing the lift near pool chemicals may cause rusting and other
damage to occur. Your Aqua Creek stainless steel lift is powder coated to protect the
stainless steel from rusting. Most rusting will occur at weld points, crevices, under
gaskets, rivets or bolt heads.
The choice of a proper cleaning product is up to the consumer and there are many to
choose from. Depending on the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination
(rusting), some products are better than others. For routine cleaning the products most
recommended are gentle soaps or detergents or dilute mixtures of ammonia. For
stubborn spots and stains try using soft scrub with some brisk rubbing.
DO NOT USE POOL WATER TO CLEAN USE ONLY FRESH
WATER
If the lift is used DAILY make sure to wash the lift at the end of the day. Wash the lift
off using a mild soap and a soft cloth. Make sure to pay special attention to weld points
and crevices. Do not use a bristled brush or steel wool to clean the lift. Check that the
lift is working properly and then place the battery on the charger. It is recommended that
the battery be charged after every day of use.
If the lift is used WEEKLY follow the same steps as above. Also be sure to check all of
the contact points (terminals) for damage or corrosion. If you notice corrosion gently
clean the terminals. To clean corrosion from the terminals use a q-tip and some rubbing
alcohol. If the corrosion is particularly stubborn try using a 3M scotch brite pad, but be
careful not to damage the terminals. Apply dielectric grease to the terminals after
cleaning them. This will help to prevent further corrosion. Do not leave the battery on the
lift. Always store the battery on the charger whenever the lift is not being used.
If the lift is used MONTHLY follow the same steps as above. Also check the nuts and
bolts to make sure they are securely fastened (this is always a good idea, no matter how
often or infrequently the lift is used). Also make sure to store the battery on the charger
and not on the lift. Leaving the battery on the lift for extended periods will significantly

If the lift is being STORED for an extended period of time follow all of the steps above.
Check for rusting at all crevice and weld points. If you notice rusting spray some WD-40
on the affected area and take a 3M scotch brite pad and rub briskly. Afterwards be sure
to wash and rinse the lift again with soap and water. When storing the lift make sure it is
in a dry area and covered. DO NOT STORE in or around pool chemicals.
