CAN A GAZEBO WITHSTAND WIND?
Most gazebos can withstand moderate to strong winds. They must be secured to the ground properly and built with strong, durable materials. Permanent gazebo structures should have no problem withstanding winds, while non-permanent gazebos that aren’t secured to the ground properly may have a harder time.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY HOT TUB COVER?
Take some time once a month to really clean your hot tub cover. Remove the hot tub cover and lean against a fence or deck and rinse with water from the hose. Using a rag or sponge, wipe down your hot tub cover, ridding it of any built-up debris or dirt. Use a hot tub cover cleaning product from your local spa dealership to really penetrate any built-up grime and rinse with water from the hose. Allow your spa cover to dry and then use a protectant spray to help further protect it from the elements, before placing it back on your hot tub.
HOW LONG DO HOT TUB COVERS LAST?
A hot tub should not require more than two or three covers over it’s lifespan, if that. Hot tub covers generally last about five years, if not more, when taken care of properly.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY HOT TUB?
The cleaning protocols for a hot tub vary between the different brands and available models. When you purchased your hot tub, you should have received detailed cleaning and maintenance instructions. If you do not have access to these, most manufacturer websites will provide you with access to them or you can reach out to the dealership where it was originally purchased.
Most hot tubs should have the water tested and balanced once a week. During this time, the hot tub owner should inspect the system, looking for damage, leaks, odors, or strange sounds.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DRAIN MY HOT TUB?
You should drain, clean and refill your hot tub approximately three to four times a year. This number can vary depending on the brand, usage and ongoing maintenance.
SHOULD I INSTALL A GAZEBO OVER MY HOT TUB?
A hot tub and gazebo joint installation can be a great addition to many backyards. The gazebo can provide shelter and protection to the hot tub from the elements, including sun, rain, snow, ice, wind, and hail. Not only that, it can add style and function to your backyard as a whole.
WHY BUY A COVANA HOT TUB COVER?
Covana systems are so much more than your everyday spa cover, they act as an automated gazebo as well! In under 60 seconds, the cover can lift from a sealed position on your hot tub, where it locks in heat and keeps dirt and insects out, to a raised position like your every day gazebo, providing you with protection from the elements.
HOW DOES HYDROTHERAPY HELP SORE MUSCLES?
Hydrotherapy is growing in popularity due to the many health benefits it can offer, including soothed joint pain and eased muscle tension. This water-based therapy utilizes natural properties of the water to offer healing to the human body. The heat of the water helps to relax the body, while the buoyancy lifts pressure and weight from sore muscles and joints. Once in a state of pure relaxation, the massaging-action from the powerful jets can target some of the most stress-prone areas of the body, helping to ease pain and improve mobility.
