While we encourage people to buy from their dealer, this is one major purchase and getting the best deal/value is very important and I don't think local dealers have the best options, though yours may.  There are a couple of online companies that people where have had good luck with, myself included. I'm sure people will be along shortly to fill you in about that.

I have had good luck with Doc's covers from RH Tubs dot com. But there are a couple others that have also done well at other online retailers.

After buying two covers directly from the local Hot Springs dealer and seeing them last about 3-4 years before they start to take on water, we decided to purchase one online.  We ended up buying one from Hot Tub Works.  We also bought a cover lift.  I loved the fact we could choose not only the cover color but also how it's built.  We opted for a 4" (edge) to 6" (center) cover, folded 90 degrees from the original (that worked best for our setup) and upgraded the moisture barrier.  The old cover was 3"-4" with a standard moisture barrier that acted like a sponge.

The last cover cost us about $500.  This one was around $650 and that included the cover lift.  It took about 6 weeks to be delivered to the door.  We just put it on last night.  It looks great but the radius at the corners is a bit large, hardly noticeable though.  We took the figures Hot Tub Works had and used them.  Length and width are perfect.  It creates a vacuum!

Time will tell how long it holds up.
