IMPORTANT FOR SWIM SPAS ONLY
Installing the VacuSeal System on Swim Spas
includes multiple covers and 2 lifters. The
installation is no different than a VacuSeal
System on a traditional hot tub but requires you
to follow these steps.
1. Install one VacuSeal Lifter & Cover on one
side of the swim spa before installing the
second Lifter.
2. After the first Cover is installed push the
second cover firmly against it during the
final positioning process to prevent a gap
between the two covers each time you
open and close the cover. A m.ajor benefit
to the VacuSeal System is that the cover will
always return to their original position if
installed correctly
