Product Description
Battery-Powered Pool Access with a Reversible Seat
The Spectrum Aquatics AQUA Buddy® V2 350 Pool Lift provides seated access to compatible pools and spas for users weighing up to 350 lb. Its rechargeable battery-powered operation, supportive ergonomic seat and field-reversible seat direction offer a practical pool-access solution for aquatic centers, hotels and community pools.
This listing is for the anchored V2 model, part 2460017, with the concrete anchor system included. It is not the separate AQUA Buddy V2 Portable model.
Key Features
350 lb Lifting Capacity
The lift supports a maximum user weight of 350 lb. Never exceed the manufacturer’s rated lifting capacity.
Quiet, Rechargeable Battery Power
A 24-volt rechargeable battery powers smooth raising and lowering. A wired handset provides up/down controls, and the control system includes an emergency stop. The battery and charging cradle are included.
Field-Reversible Seat Direction
The seat direction can be reversed on site to suit the installation layout without ordering separate standard and reverse-seat models.
Supportive Seating and Flip-Up Armrests
The contoured ergonomic seat offers lumbar and lateral support. Dual flip-up armrests help provide transfer access, while the adjustable footrest supports positioning.
Powder-Coated Stainless Steel Construction
The lift is constructed from 304L stainless steel with a standard white powder-coated finish. It is made in the USA.
Included Concrete Anchoring System
Concrete anchors and mounting hardware are supplied for an anchored installation. Pool geometry, deck structure, bonding and clear deck space must be checked before installation.
Manufacturer-Listed Safety and Accessibility Features
Spectrum Aquatics identifies the AQUA Buddy V2 as UL Listed and designed for ADA-compliant pool access. An accessible installation depends on site conditions, positioning and installation according to the manufacturer’s requirements.

Installation and Pool Compatibility
Have the intended installation reviewed before purchase. The manufacturer’s website and specification sheet state a maximum water draft of 15 inches, while the linked V2 owner’s manual states a 10-inch limit for ADA-compliant installation. Confirm the applicable limit and current installation drawing with Spectrum Aquatics before selecting an installation location. Do not rely on the higher limit without confirmation.
The owner’s manual also contains differing concrete-pad dimensions between its text and illustration. Obtain the current approved foundation requirements before preparing the deck. The measuring guides and product drawing below can assist with collecting site measurements; they do not replace installation approval.
How to Use
Read the complete owner’s manual and safety instructions before use. With the lift installed, inspected and the battery charged, bring the seat to the deck transfer position. Raise the armrest for transfer, lower it after seating, and use the wired handset to lower into the water or return to the deck. Arrange any assistance required for a safe transfer. Stop using the lift if damage, unusual noise or irregular movement is observed.
Care Instructions
Clean the powder-coated structure with a warm sponge and diluted mild detergent or dishwashing soap. Do not use stainless steel solvents or abrasive pads on the powder-coated finish. Inspect electrical cables, connections and moving hardware regularly, and maintain pivot points as directed in the manual.
Use the charging cradle in a dry location and fully charge the battery at least monthly, including during periods of non-use. Follow the owner’s manual for battery care, connection maintenance and the full inspection routine.
Warranty
Review the linked Spectrum Standard Warranty for coverage, conditions and exclusions. The product page describes five-year structural and two-year electronics coverage, while the specification sheet states a two-year limited warranty and the standard warranty includes component-specific terms. Confirm the applicable written coverage for this model before purchase.
