The description states "Requires 1/2 Width Of Spa Cover Behind Spa" does this mean the cover will only move 1/2 way off the spa?

My cover folds in half, and then slides completely off the spa onto the rollers.

Yes you have to fold it in half either before or after you slide it over but it works great we always recommend it to everybody

The cover will move completely off the spa but you need enough room (1/2 the size of the cover) next to the spa on whichever side you install the mount. It ends up looking like a shelf or table coming off the side of the spa.

The spa cover rolls all the way off the spa. You open the cover by folding it in half, then you roll the cover off onto the "shelf". The shelf has rollers in it. It's easy and quick. TheCover does not sit high up in the air, but lays flat on the shelf so you are able to see all around your tub when in use. Arms fold down for winter storage. I personally love mine, better then the lift type I had before.

No the entire spa water area is exposed once the folded spa cover is rolled out on the rollers. I have a very large spa/cover and had to buy two sets ( 4 rollers) to safely take the weight of the cover. The rollers are very useful and serve their purpose.

No, the spa cover is folded in half and slid off onto the rollers, which why it requires half the width.

It goes mostly forward, there are reflectors that aim it that way. The safety instructions say three feet, but I couldn't detect any heat buildup in furniture or walls at half that distance. I'm talking about behind or to the side of it, of course.

If you mean 12" of just the top of your spa showing, then no, it would not work. You need at least one of the sides completely exposed because the cover caddy stores to the side of the spa, and 36" of clearance because what it does is pulls the cover back and then folds it down to the side.

If it is built into the ground it won't work. For above ground spas, it is great. I wish I had purchased it sooner.

The cover sits on the top of the spa, allowing it to be locked down, so the answer would be the thickness of your cover. The bar on the top of the Cover Rock-It actually sits on top of the cover.

I have it within a few inches of the back wall. I don't think there are any restrictions about space around the unit, although my sauna is open on 3 sides, the outside doesn't seem to get too warm. Check the manual. The vent for the sauna is in the roof. There are narrow windows on each side near the front, which you wouldn't want to block.

Same answer as David. My pool is 32x14 and I cut it in 1/2. It makes it lighter to get out. No offence to women, but my wife can remove it when it's in 2 pieces. She said she couldn't do it if it was 1 piece. Plus: If it's one piece, it might end up bending or breaking the bars when you take the cover out of the pool.

I think they means that it is for SPA on the ground. My SPA is seated on gravel too and it works really well. Really easy to remove and you can see all around the spa because the cover will be lower than with others cover remover. (sorry for my english... I speak Frechn but we really like the product!!)

Actually had to return this. the maximum width of the side of the tub was less than the width of the size of my tub. If you look closely at the pictures of it attached to a tub, you see it only goes for a narrow tub side.

The answer is 15 inches. Remember that this includes a couple of inches to close the cover; you may wish to about 3 feet between the cover-open spa and the end of the deck. I find that I usually stand "behind" the spa to completely open the cover. This is, of course, not mandatory - you can open it from the side. It just takes more oomph! Enjoy your spa!!

I believe it should, the cross bar is 3 pieces, the two sides and a middle bar, and they all slide to fit the size of your spa, and once you get the width needed, you then use sheet metal screws to lock the bar in place.

The $173 was for both pieces (one for each side). So your total cost will be the $173. You will need about 8 inches or so behind the spa on the side the cover folds up to. There is also some assembly and drilling required. So I recommend you think the installation through throughly and follow the directions. Do not be intimidated though. I was able to install it in one shot without error. The lift is excellent and I am very glad I purchased it.

No it will not. The distance between where the base of the lift attaches to the bottom of the spa sides and the radius to the spas outer circumference is too great. This lift is best suited for square spas.

Ours too. We put a weight on the t-bar to hold it down. The unit works great but if you have an automatic cover, the cover will not close completely while the Staypoolizer is in use. We put ours in the shallow end corner so the cover has about a 3" gap from closing. Totally worth it to keep from chasing the water level all summer!

Yes, you will have to cut your cover in half, but it doesn't prevent the cover from covering your pool just the same. I also have an approximately 20' x 40' pool with an odd shape and I love this roller system. I'm pretty small and it allows me to remove the cover by myself, something I couldn't do before.

Its designed for square hot tubs, base on the 60X76 dimensions it will cover it but will be very loose, I would think the elastic would not be usable on that size.

I purchased the drive medical adjustable. The way that it's made, it goes over both sides of the tub and since I've bought it and tightened it, so far I had not had to do anything to it and I've had it since may 2013
