Aqua Creek Portable Pro 2 Pool Lift – Portable Pool Lift (Part #F-PPP2)
/
The Aqua Creek Portable Pro 2 is a 350 lb portable pool lift from the Pro Pool Series — no anchor installation required, balanced by a concrete or sand counterweight system (concrete counterweights sold separately; sand version requires 650 lbs of sand, not included), and built around the same non-rotational out-and-down motion as the Ranger 2 and Admiral lifts. The seat swings out over the pool edge and lowers in a single smooth arc — no rotation, no lateral swing, a consistent motion that is easy to anticipate and feel secure in. The lift tips back and rolls on its base for repositioning anywhere on the pool deck, and can be stored when the pool is not in use. 24V rechargeable battery with wall-mount charger. Water-resistant handset for independent user operation. Flip-up armrests. Adjustable footrest and lap belt. Stainless steel construction with powder coat finish. CE Certified. Made in USA. The Portable Pro 2 is designed for in-ground pools where the pool deck is flush with or very close to the pool water level — it is not suitable for pools with raised curbs, high walls, or significant height difference between deck and water. 5-year structural + 5-year prorated electronics warranty.

Non-Rotational Design — The Ranger 2 Motion in a Portable Package
The Portable Pro 2's design is explicitly modeled on Aqua Creek's fixed Pro Pool Series lifts — the Ranger 2 and Admiral. The seat moves in a single out-and-down arc: straight out over the pool edge and directly down into the water, with no lateral rotation. This motion is predictable, consistent, and widely regarded as the most comfortable and confidence-inspiring pool lift entry motion. Users who have used a Ranger 2 or Admiral and are looking for a portable equivalent — for a second property, seasonal use, or a situation where anchor installation isn't possible — get the same movement experience in a counterweight-balanced portable package.
Counterweight Options — Concrete or Sand
The Portable Pro 2 uses a counterweight system instead of a deck anchor to provide stability during lifting. Two options:
Concrete Counterweights (Sold Separately)
Pre-formed concrete blocks that mount to the lift base. Sold separately from the lift itself. Concrete counterweights are clean, ready-to-use, and do not require any preparation — order them with the lift and they arrive ready to install. Ideal for users who want maximum convenience and reliability with no ballast management. Note: Aqua Creek has recently moved to selling concrete counterweights separately from the lift body; confirm availability and order together.
Sand Ballast (Customer Provides)
The ballast tank on the lift base can be filled with 650 lbs of sand that the customer purchases locally. The sand version saves on shipping cost (the tank ships empty) and allows the buyer to source sand from any home improvement store or pool supply shop. The tank is filled on-site. 650 lbs of sand fills the tank to the capacity needed for safe 350 lb lifting. If relocating the lift frequently and wanting to empty/refill at different locations, the sand version offers that flexibility — though managing 650 lbs of sand is a meaningful logistical consideration.
Portable — Tips Back and Rolls
When not in use or when repositioning is needed, the Portable Pro 2 tips back onto its rolling base. The lift rolls on the pool deck on its own wheels — no transport cart required, no separate equipment needed. One person can reposition the lift from one side of the pool to another, store it in a nearby enclosure, or roll it off the pool deck entirely. This makes the Portable Pro 2 particularly practical for:
- Residential pools that are also used for entertaining — the lift can be moved off the deck when not needed for access
- Seasonal pool users who want to store the lift during off-months without hiring someone to remove an anchored lift
- Pools where multiple entry points are needed at different times — the lift can be repositioned to the steps side or the shallow end depending on the day's needs
Portable Pro 2 vs. Mighty Voyager — Aqua Creek's Two Portable Lifts
| Feature | Portable Pro 2 (This) | Mighty Voyager |
|---|---|---|
| Weight Capacity | 350 lbs | 325 lbs |
| Motion | Non-rotational — out-and-down | 255° rotation |
| Counterweight | Concrete (sold separately) or sand (650 lbs, customer provides) | Sand ballast (customer provides) |
| ADA Fixing Kit | Not included — residential use | Included — ADA compliant with fixing anchor |
| Deck Area Required | Smaller footprint | 101.5" × 52" |
| Pool Compatibility | In-ground flush deck | In-ground + walls up to 10" |
| CE Certified | Yes | Yes |
| Made in USA | Yes | Yes |
| Best For | Residential pools; non-rotational motion preference; higher capacity; flush-deck in-ground pools; concrete counterweight option | Commercial portable ADA compliance; pools with up to 10" walls; ADA fixing anchor included |
For commercial pools requiring ADA-compliant portable lift installation, the Mighty Voyager (with its included ADA Fixing Kit) is Aqua Creek's recommended solution. The Portable Pro 2 is the right choice for residential pools where ADA anchor requirements do not apply and the non-rotational motion is preferred.

FAQs
Does my pool qualify for the Portable Pro 2?
The Portable Pro 2 works on in-ground pools where the deck surface is flush with or very close to the pool's waterline — standard in-ground residential pools where you step from the deck directly to the pool coping and into the water. If your pool has a raised wall, raised coping, or any significant height between the deck and the water, this lift is not the right choice. Call us with your pool type and deck configuration: 866-218-0902.
Which counterweight option should I choose?
Concrete counterweights (sold separately) are the more convenient option — they arrive ready to use, install cleanly, and require no management. The sand option saves shipping cost and gives you more flexibility for emptying and refilling if you plan to move the lift frequently, but requires sourcing and managing 650 lbs of sand locally. If you won't be moving the lift often once installed, concrete counterweights are the cleaner long-term solution.
Can it be used on a spa?
Yes — in spas where the deck is at or near water level. For spas with raised walls above the deck, the Portable Pro 2 cannot clear the wall height. The footrest can be removed for spas with interior benches where the seat descends to bench height. Call us with your spa configuration: 866-218-0902.
Can I use this for my hotel pool?
The Portable Pro 2 is designed for residential use. For commercial pools requiring ADA compliance with a portable lift, the Aqua Creek Mighty Voyager includes the ADA Fixing Kit needed to satisfy the commercial ADA "fixed lift" requirement. Call us to discuss: 866-218-0902.
Can one person move it?
Yes — the lift tips back onto its rolling base and can be repositioned by one person on the pool deck. The counterweight is in the base, not added at the point of use, so no ballast management is needed when moving the lift once it is set up.
