Preparing the way for your new Covana spa cover
A new level of luxury!
Easy access to your swim spa with protection against the weather and
ultraviolet radiation while providing you with a luxurious vibe.
Swim spa compatibility
Most rectangular swim spas with a flat surface (no protruding headrests) and the following features:
- Spa wall on both sides must be flat and parallel.
- 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.
Refer to the table below to choose the appropriate model according to the
length of your swim spa.
If you don’t know which model to choose, or if you are unsure whether your
swim spa will fit under the cover or not, please contact Covana for the
