Hot Spring® UpRite® Cover Lifter

The Hot Spring® UpRite® Cover Lifter is a smart match for owners who want easier spa access without sacrificing space. It is designed for limited-clearance installs, making it well suited to compact patios, decks, and covered spa settings where every inch counts. For households in Traverse City and surrounding communities, it offers a practical way to keep a hot tub ready for use while helping the cover stay off the ground and out of the way.

Beyond convenience, the UpRite adds a cleaner look to the spa area. When open, it creates a helpful sight barrier for added privacy while you soak. If you are shopping for a cover lifter that integrates neatly with a Hot Spring spa setup, Phillips Lifestyles offers local product guidance and support from a team that serves Northern Michigan homeowners.
