Automating Hot Tub & Swim Spa Cover Lifters

Convert-A-Lift

Opens your cover at the touch of a button from inside your home, and when it closes, it automatically locks, providing you with safety!

The ConvertALift is a Conversion System that converts the VacuSeal cover into an automatic hot tub cover lifter system and the SpaEase 200 Lifter into a semi-automatic system. This system provides convenience, privacy, and safety, and it makes opening your cover the easiest part of using your hot tub or swim Spa.

FAQs

  • ConvertALift is not on its own a cover lifter. It is a product that allows you to convert select hot tub cover lifters into automated systems allowing the user to open and close the cover electronically. It includes a Control Box, Electronic Linear Actuators, a Key Switch, and a Remote Control, along with hardware and aluminum brackets that attach to an existing cover lifter.

  • The Control Box is considered the brains to the system. It is water resistant encasement designed to be installed within the cabinet of the spa and it is universal so it can operate either on a hot tub or a swim spa. It includes 6 short cables designed to be attached to extension cables for the Actuators and the Key Switch along with an input for a power cord.

  • They are the motors to the system that extend and retract allowing the user to raise and lower the cover. They are made of stainless-steel providing protection from all forms of weather. They are also the highest-grade actuators available for hot tubs and include Hall Sensors, which ensure that both actuators will open in unison, and when they close both sides will fully close at the same time helping to seal the cover to the spa, helping reduce heat loss.

  • ConvertALift can be used on either our SpaEase 200 or the VacuSeal 400 Cover Lifter which requires a VacuSeal Cover.

  • ConvertALift will work on virtually any length standard cover built.

    The VacuSeal Cover has limitations:

    HOT TUBS

    • Covers up to 96” x 96” are standard for a VacuSeal Cover.
    • If “A” Side is up to 96” & “B” Side is up to 108” you need an Extended Center Bar.
    • Covers with “A” Side over 96” and up to 132” require a Tri-Fold Cover.

    SWIM SPAS

    • Swim Spa Covers up to 16’ (192”) are standard for the VacuSeal Cover
    • Swim Spa Covers over 192” and up to 19’ (228”) require one side to be a Trifold
    • Swim Spa Covers over 19’ and up to 22’ (264”) require both sides be Trifold

  • A radius over 12” requires an Extension Bracket which allows up to 16” maximum.

  • The system has been tested to operate with over 50lbs. added to the cover.

  • First time installer should plan for 2 to 3 hours for hot tub. Second time 2 hours and once an installer has done a couple it should only take about 1.5 hours.  Double these times for a Swim Spa.

  • Every component part comes with easy disconnects. Both the cables and the disconnects are designed to be used in outdoor environments. Every component can easily be removed and replaced within minutes.

  • Using a spa during a power failure is highly discouraged. But to allow the spa to be serviced we have designed the Actuators to be disengaged by simply removing a Cotter Pin. This allows the cover to be lifted but requires manual effort without assistance of the Actuator or a gas shock.
