Drive Medical Bellavita Dive Bath Lift
It lowers you to the floor of the tub and brings you back up to the rim. Whether the top of that range is level with your rim is a question only your tape can answer.
Start here
Measure your tub wall, floor to the top.
A bath lift earns its money at the top of its range, not the bottom. The top is 18.9 in, and whether that is level with your rim is the question your bathroom answers, not the brochure.
- 1Stand outside the tub, on the bathroom floorThis is taken from the room side, not from inside the tub
- 2Put the end of the tape on the floor, against the tubRight where the outside face of the tub meets the floor
- 3Run it straight up to the top of the wallStop at the highest point of the rim, not at the tiles above it
- 4Read the number and write it downThat is the height you have to get yourself across at the start and end of every bath
- ✓Raises to 18.9 inTop of the seat height range for model 477400252
- ✓Lowers to 2.6 inBottom of the same range, measured above the tub floor
Set your number beside 18.9 in. A rim that comes in near that figure gives you a seat you can slide across to rather than climb down into, which is the whole reason to own a lift. A rim well above it means a taller step across at the start, and that is worth knowing before you decide rather than after.
iTake the reading once and keep it. Tub wall height does not change, so the same number tells you what a transfer bench, a clamp on rail or a second lift would each be working with. One measurement, several decisions.
How far it travels
Sixteen and a bit inches, every bath, both ways.
The two ends of the range are published. The distance between them is the part that is worth stating plainly, so here is that sum in the open.
- +18.9 in at the topSeat height at the raised end of the range
- +2.6 in at the bottomSeat height at the lowered end, above the tub floor
- =16.3 in of travelEighteen point nine less two point six, and it is the distance you no longer have to make with your own legs
That travel is the whole product. Everything else on the spec sheet, the 300 lb capacity, the 50 degree recline on the removable backrest, the 21.8 lb it weighs, exists to move you those 16.3 in safely and to get out of the tub again afterwards when somebody else wants a shower.
iHere is the check that matters. Sit on the edge of the tub and put a hand flat on the floor of it. That distance, shoulder to hand, is roughly what you are lowering through today under your own strength. It is the clearest way to feel what 16.3 in of powered travel is actually doing for you.
After it is yours
Five years, and Drive write it 5yr Limited.
Drive put a 5yr Limited warranty on this lift, model 477400252. On a piece of powered equipment the term is worth reading carefully, so here it is exactly as they publish it.
- ✓5yr Limited is the published termPrinted on the warranty row against model 477400252
- ✓A dated term, so the date is the thing to keepFive years runs from a date, which makes your receipt the document that matters
- ✓Plastic, and 21.8 lb of itMaterial and product weight for model 477400252
Drive publish the term and not the conditions behind it. We print the term exactly as it stands rather than paraphrase conditions nobody has written down.
iWorth keeping: your Care Made order confirmation. It carries the date and the model number, and a five year term is looking for exactly that. Hold on to that email, or print it and tape it inside a cupboard door, and there is nothing else for you to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. The Bellavita Dive sits inside your existing bathtub and runs on a rechargeable, waterproof floating hand control. There is no wiring, no plumbing, and no permanent installation, so it works in rentals and can move with you.
-
Charge it between baths and it will always be ready when you want one. The hand control floats and lifts out with the seat, so you can take it out and put it on charge the moment you are finished. Making that part of your routine is the simplest way to be sure of a full charge before you get in.
-
The seat lowers to 2.6 inches above the tub floor, lower than typical bath lifts, so you can actually soak in the water rather than sit above it. It raises to 18.9 inches for a sideways transfer in and out. Measure from your bathroom floor to the top of your tub wall and compare it with that 18.9 inches, and you will know how the transfer will feel for you.
-
The Bellavita Dive installs in almost any standard bathtub. The backrest is removable and the lift weighs only 21.8 lb, so it lifts out easily for cleaning the tub, travelling, or sharing a bathroom with other household members.
-
The improved dual column design provides stable lifting for users up to 300 lb through the full range of motion, including the 50 degree recline. It carries a 5 year limited warranty from Drive Medical.
