You have your suit on, you’ve grabbed your towel, and your favorite music is playing in the background. You’re all ready for some serious rest and relaxation in your favorite place in the house – your hot tub.  But first, there’s something you have to take care of. That heavy, bulky cover.

You know you have to have one – it keeps the heat in and dirt and debris out, keeping your hot tub clean and helping it run efficiently. But wow! It sure is heavy and awkward to move. When your family is home you can ask for help but when you’re home alone there’s only one thing you can do.

“Ooof!”

You manage to fold back half of the cover.

“Ugh!”

You reach around and drag the cover off the rest of the way, flopping it onto the patio. It’s not good for the cover, but what else are you supposed to do? You may not be as buff as The Rock, but you’re no slouch, either, you know? It’s just that the cover is so darn heavy and awkward to move around.  

But there IS a solution – a cover lifter!

These handy gadgets attach to your hot tub (they can also attach to a deck, depending on the model and your hot tub installation) and make it incredibly easy to remove your cover, all by yourself – no bodybuilder-level strength required.

Cover lifters come in three different types:

• Manual pivot
• Shelf-style
• Hydraulic-assisted

And they install in one of these ways:

• Under
• Side
• Top and bottom mount.

The type you choose will depend on your preferences and budget; the installation will depend on the cover you select, and the way your hot tub is installed.

To choose a cover lifter, you need to know how much space you have behind your spa, and on the side where the lifter will install. Stop by our store and we can help you select the cover lifter that’s perfect for your spa.  

Then, the next time you want to enjoy a soothing hydromassage and you’re home alone – no worries! You can lift that cover right off. And if you want to pretend like you’re as strong as The Rock while you do it, we won’t tell.
