My client in New England sent me an email today.  There was a recent bad storm in his area that resulted in a large tree falling on his spa/hot tub.  He has had that tub for at least twenty years now, and he uses it every day.  So he was very upset that the tree fell on it.  He had to hire a tree removal service to remove the tree.  After that was done, he got the chance to get a better look at the tub to see what kind of damage was done.   The tub itself is slightly scratched, but the cover was completely demolished.  So he tells me that he wants me to do some comparison shopping for replacement Hot Tub Covers to replace the one that he had.  It’s just as well; his old cover was looking pretty sad anyway, and I had been after him for years to buy a new spa cover, just for aesthetic reasons if nothing else.

I have found an Internet company called The Cover Guy that sells replacement spa covers and replacement hot tub covers.  They have a great selection of covers especially designed specifically for the Northern States.  They are having a special for the month of June where they are offering free shipping anywhere in the US and Canada, and they guarantee the best quality and lowest prices anywhere.  Their website shows three different levels of foam thickness for three different climates; mild, moderate and harsh.  I’ll be telling my client to order the harsh climate cover because where he lives it often gets below twenty below zero in the winter time.

I also want to tell him to buy a hydraulic lifter because he is approaching his 80’s and the time is rapidly coming that he will not be able to just haul the cover off of the tub manually.  I’d love to see him buy a lifter that will lift the cover with just a push of a button!
