The user or their carer can operate an electric bath lift and inflatable bathing cushions with a simple-to-use waterproof remote. Both bath lifts and bath cushions usually come with a compressor or battery which can be charged regularly. Most bathing aids have a safety feature that ensures that if there is not enough battery to raise the lift, it will not lower the user in the first place.
