Cover for Stand Alone Hot Tub

[grottoguy]

I am buying a hot tub to put near the pool (as opposed to having the hot tub built by my PB). Has anyone used Merlin's Deluxe, Ultra, or Thermolight Covers. I am also planning to cover the hot tub in the summer with only a thin solar cover (to keep out debris). I will use the main cover in the winter. Any suggestions?


Thanks.

My friends use the thick 3 inch cover year round. keeps heat in/stuff out.

Treat yourself to a cover lifter, best $350 I ever spent.
