There’s nothing better after a day on the slopes than slipping into a warm, bubbling spa and letting the Rockies work their magic. But your hot tub experience doesn’t end at the shell. The right accessories make your soak easier, safer, and better suited for Colorado weather.

Here’s a quick look at some of our most popular accessories.

Cover Locking Straps

Wind can send a loose cover halfway across the yard. Locking straps hold your cover tight to the spa, keeping heat in and debris out. They also add a safety layer that stops curious kids and pets from lifting it when no one’s watching.

Cover Lifters

Wet hot tub covers are heavy. A cover lifter opens and closes your spa with one hand, saving your back and extending the life of your cover by preventing the folds and drags that lead to cracks.

Custom Covers

When it’s time to replace your cover, don’t settle for off-the-shelf. Our custom covers fit your specific spa with insulation built for high-altitude winters, and a well-insulated cover is the single biggest factor in keeping energy bills down. If yours feels waterlogged, sags, or loses heat fast, it’s time.

Steps

Climbing in and out of your spa should feel relaxing, not awkward. A solid set of spa steps gives you secure footing and looks great alongside your tub, with styles that complement a range of cabinets.
