The quality of your hot tub cover lifter makes a big difference in a few other areas, too. A well-designed hot tub is intended to last more than a decade. So, if your cover lifter isn’t rustproof, weather-resistant, and made of durable materials, it will wear out quickly and won’t adequately protect your spa over its lifetime. You’ll want to be sure to choose a cover lifter that’s built with care and designed to the same high standards as your home spa.

With a Hot Spring® cover lifter, the cross bar is integrated (hidden) inside the seam of the cover, so you’ll never have to worry about an unsightly metal bar extending across your spa. Not all cover lifters are designed that way, however. Also, cover lifters aren’t always on display at dealerships, so unless you ask for a lifter that’s integrated with the cover, you could choose the wrong one and be disappointed once you install it on your spa.
