Frequently Asked Questions
Which Leisure Concepts® cover lifter is right for my spa?
The right cover lifter depends on your spa shape, cabinet style, cover size, available clearance, and whether you want manual or hydraulic assistance. For tighter spaces, CoverMate® III and CoverMate® Zero are often better options because Leisure Concepts lists both with about 6 inches of rear clearance and 5 inches on each side, while other styles may need more space.
How much clearance do I need behind my spa for a cover lifter?
Clearance depends on the specific lift. Leisure Concepts lists CoverMate® I at 10–15 inches behind the spa, CoverMate® III and CoverMate® Zero at about 6 inches behind the spa, CoverMate® II and CoverMate® Easy at about 18 inches, CoverMate® Freestyle at about 20 inches, and CoverMate® Vanish XL at about 25 inches behind the spa.
Are Leisure Concepts® cover lifters easy to install?
Many Leisure Concepts® cover lifters are designed with easy-to-install, non-corrosive mounting brackets and powder-coated aluminum tubing. The brand also provides official installation instruction PDFs for cover lifters, rails, steps, and accessories, so customers should review the instructions for their exact model before ordering or installing.
Do Leisure Concepts® steps fit round and square hot tubs?
Several Leisure Concepts® step designs are made to work with a wide range of spa shapes. For example, SmartStep® and DuraStep® II both feature a reversible tread design that Leisure Concepts says can accommodate round or square spas.
Are Leisure Concepts® products made in the USA?
Leisure Concepts displays 100% Made in the USA messaging on its site and product/installation pages. This is a strong trust point to keep on the landing page.
