Relaxa Easy Lifting Belt Bath Lift
The Relaxa Easy Lifting Belt Bath Lift is a state of the art secure and convenient belt-style bath lift that offers elderly and individuals with mobility issues a supportive method of getting in and out of the bath. The Relaxa Bath Lift features an innovative method of lowering and rising patients that is safer, far more comfortable and more convenient than other more mechanical options on the market.
What's Included with the Bath Lift?
- 1 x Bathlift with Remote Control
- 1 x Wall Mounting Plate
- 1 x Belt Sleeve
- 1 x Floor Anchor Bar
- 1 x Manual (fixing and fixing screws are NOT included)
- 1 x Battery Box
- 1 x Charger
Why Choose the Relaxa?
The Relaxa is a slimline bathing aid that's easy to install and which provides a more comfortable, soothing experience when submerged under the water. Unlike other mechanical options, the Relaxa uses a soft belt to lower and raise the user from the water, making it ideal for those with skin that prone to bruising and contact-based injury.
Seamless Remote Control
The Relaxa comes with a remote control that allows you to raise and lower yourself as and when required. This control is corded with a generous, springy wire that grants the user ample extension when in use.
A Soft and Comfortable Alternative
Unlike other clunky, plastic based lifts, the Relaxa Easy Lifter gently cradles you as you're lowered into and raised out of the water. This dignified approach to bathing is not only more comfortable - it's better for the health of your glutes and hamstrings.
A harder, casted plastic bath lift requires you to sit in one position, which can feel rigid and uncomfortable for users with back and postural issues. Sitting on the base of the bath when underwater, the Relaxa belt allows your body to flex and move naturally without forcing you into an uncomfortable sitting position.
How Does the Relaxa Bath Lift Work?
The Relaxa Easy Lifting Bath Lift is operated using two control buttons which gently lower and raise the bather into and out of the bath when the user is seated on the reinforced polypropylene seat belt. This flexible belt is firmly secured to a winding shaft within the cabinet case whilst the other end is anchored to a sturdy floor fitting located at the side of the bath.

No Mains Electricity Required
To be as practical and safe as possible in a bathroom environment, the Relaxa Bath Lift has been designed with a 24V DC rechargeable battery pack which eliminates the need for a mains electricity supply. This enhances safety and allows the belt to be controlled with the easy-to-use buttons. The security of the unit can also be monitored using the red and green indicator lights found on the fixed wall unit.

How To Use the Relaxa Easy Lifting Belt Bath Lift
With the battery fully charged and the temperature probe in position the bathlift can be used. The instructions below provide an overview of how the Relaxa Easy Lifting Belt Bath Lift should be operated:
- Place the battery in the hole on the left-hand side of the bathlift. Ensure it is firmly pushed into position.
- Press the down button and feed out the belt sufficiently for it to reach the mounting bar. When the hand held remote controller is used – either by the bather or by an assistant, the device will operate the bathlift without the need to use the control buttons on the cabinet face.
- To fit the belt sleeve, fold the belt as shown and slip on the sleeve.
- By rotating the discs the anchor bar can be located into the mounting bar itself. Turn the discs to ensure the anchor bar is positively locked in. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
- Tension up the belt by pressing the ‘UP’ button until the belt is tight across the bath. The automatic cut out will stop the belt when it is tight.
- The bathlift is now ready for the bather to sit on the belt, ease their legs over the side of the bath and into the water holding on to the inbuilt grabrail for extra support.
- Now press the DOWN button which will slowly and gently lower the user to the bottom of the bath. You can now relax and enjoy a refreshing bath.
- When bathing is finished press the UP button and this will raise and return the user back to the original bath height, so that the bather can again hold on to the grabrail and place their feet over the bath edge and onto the floor.
- With the belt slackened, free the end secured to the floor bracket and remove the belt sleeve. By pressing the up button once more the seating belt will retract back into the cabinet, ready for future use. Leave about 75 mm (3”) of the belt outside the unit.
