Cover lifters offer spa users two great advantages: ease of use  for the spa and an extended life for the hard spa cover. The cover lifter will end the "wrestling" to remove the cover for use of the spa. The lifter also reduces the chance of snagging the cover or dragging the cover on a deck or patio surface.

As the hard cover gets older, it naturally will increase in weight due to moisture absorption. The lifter will lighten the load and assist in the cover removal.

The use of a lifter also helps reduce the stress on the cover handles or skirt(flap) where most users will lift the cover manually. Now longer will you have the rips or tears of the vinyl material.

One caution, do not install a lifter with a spa cover that has totally become extremely heavy with water. The stress on the lifter mounting could damage the spa attachment points and destroy the lifter.

The lifter will also help keep the cover from being abused by the kids or the family pet as the cover sits on the deck.
