Can this cover lift be opened and closed from inside the hot tub or do you have to open and close it from outside every time?

As long as the cover is unmatched it can be opened and closed from the inside of the tub with ease.

You have to do it from the outside, especially if you want to lay it down against the tub.It is the best cover I have ever had.

No it's free swinging, so there is no hold open. That said assuming you mount it level and plumb it should stay opening if you want it to. Our does. Hope this helps.

The cover extends about 20 inches above the spa surface. But remember, you need about 48" of clearance above the spa during the opening process, as the cover rotates about the pivot point! - It works slick outdoors for "old folks" like me and is the only way I can uncover the spa on my own

The instructions say to empty the spa so you can slip it underneath, but I had absolutely no issues by gently tapping a couple of thin, common screwdrivers just outside of the lift's bottom plate to lift the spa just enough to start sliding it underneath. Then, I placed a piece of wood on the outside of the lift (to protect it) and gently hammered it all the way underneath - piece of cake! I've had the lift for over a year now and it's functioning perfectly - good as new.

you do have to remove the cover in order to use the machine as there are no openings. However, it is very easy to remove and put back on. I have no problems with it

this product is custom made for your hot tub. The web site guides you through measuring your hot tub so that they can custom make your cover. you even get to choose which way it opens up.

If there is water in you will have to drain it from the back. There are two metal clamps that attaches a grey hose once you were to remove back panel, of course unplugging and moving with a folly if you have one to some Where you don't mind getting flooded with water. I had to learn the hard way. Water everywhere. Once the tub is drain, hose reconnected with clamp and plug dry and connected the door will open. I am a female and was able to do it before calling service. Mind you after three time twice finding a coin in my pump I now have a new top loading washer again.. Good luck!

There is a door at the top to open to reach in. The wire part just sits on top of the tank. So when you want that off you just lift it.

With the existing cover. It still opens and closes inside of the vent cover.

It should heat up on either open or closed. You might want to contact the seller.

You till have to use the latch as before. The bar actually prevents people from pulling on the flimsy plastic slide cover and using it as the door closer. Check out this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/QwjMmGZvj2oHope this helps.

The lift will open fully on it's own. But you can stop it at any height (going up or down) with the wireless remote or the hardwired control.

Really did not have a problem opening. I saw directions either inside carton or online. Not sure. Legs pull out of zippers on back of chair. You always need to fully close each side then open till it is at level you wanted it. Can use as a lounge with bottom, foot out on angle instead of folded in

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 would hate to give wrong advice, it may be ok with the hot tub, the windows can be opened. It does get pretty toasty in there though.

NO! You just use it for winter closing. As the other folks state, it takes 2 or 3 people to put it on and take it off........with lots of cursing. Don't even try it on a windy day. When removing it, you must first get all the debris and water off or it will all spill into your pool. :-)

It holds onto one 1/2 the cover. And the rest closes with the pulling down with the RED button. Just do not pull hard and break the red button. It's amazingly easy and I found it perfect for a large cover. It needs one cover valet per spa cover. Good Luck
