Setup questions
« on: May 22, 2012, 08:36:16 pm »
Ok - So I've reached a preliminary agreement on a j-480 used, which I'm really excited about. The deal will complete Thursday, so I'll be happier once all is completed. But I have 3 questions in preparation if anyone could assist ;)

First the tub does not have a cover lifter. I was looking at getting the covermate III since it only needs 4 inches of clearance on the side and 6 inches. Any issues with that product? I looked at buying online to install myself, but also I'm going to call the local dealer because the tub needs a new cover anyways.

Second I'm planning on putting the tub in the corner of the deck with the prescribed clearance on the sides ( probably leave 7 inches of clearance all around). Any watch out I should consider in placement?

Finally it looks like the covermate can only be installed to lift the cover over the waterfall on the 480. Just wanted to verify.

Thanks!

  Covermate 3 will work fine, and yes the lift has to go to the back towards the w,fall.   Your clearence around the tub sounds fine!  The J-480 is a great spa.

Thanks Jim! Now I just need my local dealer to call me back with an estimate. Patience is not my best virtue  ;D
