Evolution Automated Hot Tub Cover

Pre-Delivery Guide
Preparing the way for your new Covana spa cover

No limit to cover your hot tub!
Thanks to its modularity, the Evolution cover is compatible with most large and round hot tubs.

Less effort, more comfort for a longer time:
A promise signed Covana.

Spa compatibility

Most square, rectangular, or round hot tubs with a flat surface (no protruding headrests) of up to 93″ x 134½” with a height between 34″ and 48″.
The dimensions of the Evolution models are illustrated below. The dashed line dimensions include the recommended clearance for maintenance. The entrance of the spa will always be placed on the width side.

Refer to the table below to choose the appropriate model according to the dimensions of your spa.
If you don’t know which model to choose, or if you are unsure whether your spa will fit under the cover or not, please contact Covana for the Technical Support department: 1-877-278-8010.

Evolution lEngth| Spa maximum width| Spa maximum lEngth|
---|---|---|---
8 ft| 92¾”| 98″|
9 ft| 92¾”| 110½”|
10 ft| 92¾”| 122½”|
11 ft| 92¾”| 134½”|

• For spas of maximum length and width, the ground clearance height and the corner radius must be at least 4″.

The seal of the cover will have to be installed on a flat surface of at least 1″ wide, on the acrylic of the spa. The minimum turn radius of the seal is 4″. Ensure the seal will be able to go all around the spa while continuously touching the cover.

Color options

For a slight extra on the price of the regular white pannel, this option allows you to better match the color of your Covana with your environment. A little detail that can make a big difference.
Customize your cover by choosing between the following options:
(Actual colors may vary from images shown.)

Retractable shades

The shades provide additional protection from the wind and harsh elements. Most importantly they provide coveted privacy from curious onlookers.
