Post by: diane on August 22, 2007, 11:48:43 am
Are there any cover lifters out there that completely lower the cover so that it is not obstucting my view?

I think the Covermate II might be a good option for this.

It is great if you want a great view and need to have no arms along the side of the tub.  The rocket....which I know nothing about....same link.  Looks like it will give you the "best" view

Good luck

Unfortunately, no. I've talked to numorous lift manufacturers about this and they ALL say the same thing........ There would be so much room needed around the spa for something like this to work, the market for them would be too small to make it worth their while to design and manufacture a product that would do this.

the rocket looks like it will use up just a few inches of sight line.

The Rock-It, which is virtually the same as the Ideal EZ Lift, the Covermate Easy and the Cover-Up simply stands the folded cover up next to the side of the spa. A short spa with a large cover will leave quite a bit of cover exposed.

The other thing to consider is how far above the spa a users eyes actually are. For many people, especially if they're sitting reclined in the spa, their eye level may only be 4" above the edge of the spa.
