Make life easier with a hot tub cover lifter from 1st Direct Pools.
A hot tub cover is a crucial component for any spa owner, providing insulation, keeping debris out, and ensuring safety. However, these covers, especially those designed for larger spas, can be awkward and heavy to remove and replace manually. This is where a high-quality hot tub cover lifter becomes an essential hot tub accessory.
What is a hot tub cover lifter?
A cover lifter is a simple, mechanical device designed to help remove and store your spa cover when the hot tub is in use. Instead of struggling to fold and drag a heavy, wet cover, a lifter allows one person to effortlessly slide the cover off the spa and safely store it beside the tub.
This not only makes using your hot tub a more enjoyable, hassle-free experience but also helps to prolong the life of your cover by preventing damage from improper handling or accidental damage.
Hot tub cover lifters offer:
- Ease of Use: They significantly reduce the physical effort required to open and close your hot tub.
- Protection for Your Cover: By providing a designated, supported storage position, spa cover lifters prevent the cover from being scratched, torn, or contaminated when it's off the spa.
- Space-Saving: The cover lifter folds neatly against the side of the tub, requiring minimal surrounding clearance and keeping your deck or patio tidy.
- Safety and Accessibility: Cover lifters make the hot tub more accessible for everyone, especially those with mobility issues, and minimise the risk of injuries and strains from lifting heavy objects.
Do you need a hot tub cover lifter?
Your hot tub should offer complete relaxation; the convenience of a cover lifter can help further facilitate this. When using a lifter, your hot tub becomes more accessible, eliminating the hassle of manually removing the entire cover every time you want to use it.
This means you’re likely to use your tub more often and get the most out of it. Sometimes, it’s the smaller details that make all the difference.
A cover lifter also provides a handy place to store your cover when your hot tub is in use. Our hot tub cover lifters will lift your cover away, mount it neatly by the side of the tub, and hold it ready to be rolled back down when it’s time to get out.
The best hot tub cover lifters
Most of our cover lifters will fit any hot tub size, so you can pick whichever design you prefer. Please note that our cover lifter products include the lifters only and do not include a hot tub cover.
