When your spa cover is securely fastened and your water is warm, you will be wanting to get the spa cover off and get in. Please follow these basic tips for using your spa cover and keeping it looking good.

Your spa cover will either be hinged (standard) or two piece (comes apart).

If your spa cover is two piece, the two halves will be joined with side release buckles and tensioning straps. Please note that the buckle should be done up over the top of the heat seal flap and tensioned firmly using the adjuster on one end of the buckle.

If you have a hinged spa cover, simply unclip all locking clips and then fold one half of the spa cover over, so that it is resting on the other half. Pull the spa cover towards you and then off, or with another person, slide it off to one side.

A cover lifting device can make easy work of even the largest spa cover.  Check out the CoverEZE cover lifter on our accessories page - click here for more info.

If you have a two piece spa cover, unclip all the locking clips. Unclip the two side release buckles joining each half and remove each piece separately, picking them up by the handles and sliding towards yourself and up. Remember to lift the flap half of your spa cover first, so any dirt and water runs off your cover and not into the spa.

Once your spa cover is off the spa try to place it somewhere out of direct sunlight. Be careful not to drag the spa cover over any rough surfaces such as paving and decking, and don’t leave it where the wind could blow it away, or kids could break it.

Try not to lift the spa cover by the skirts, straps, flaps or heat seals. This will only weaken the stitching and shorten the life of your spa cover.  The manufacturers warranty does not cover damage to these areas due to improper use.
