Bueno Spa Replacement Hot Tub Covers

Bueno Spa is the value line of Wellis, the Hungarian hot tub maker, sold in the United States by Wellis USA. That is worth knowing when you buy a cover: the drawings in your manual, the part numbers on your pump and the paperwork in your cabinet all say Wellis, while the badge on the shell says Bueno. Both are right. Bueno has sold twelve hot tubs, and eleven of them are squares that fit an AIRCAP 1™.

Here is how the 11 Bueno Spa models in our fitter map to AIRCAP 1™ sizes:

• The Jersey, Boston and Kansas each take the AIRCAP 1™ XX-Small, which fits square spas 77–79".
• The Dallas, New York and Vista each take the AIRCAP 1™ Small, which fits square spas 83–85".
• The Chicago, Moreno, Vacation, Denver and Hollywood each take the AIRCAP 1™ Medium, which fits square spas 86–88".

These sizes come from Wellis's own engineering drawings, not from a brochure. Bueno publishes its owner's manuals as PDFs, and each one carries a CAD plan view per model with the footprint printed in the title block — Jersey 2000×2000 mm, Dallas 2130×2130, New York 2150×2150, Chicago 2170×2170, Vacation 2180×2180, Hollywood 2200×2200, and Boston 79"×79" in the older inch-dimensioned edition. Every one is exactly square on the drawing, and the drawings are also what proves these shells are true squares with rounded corners rather than chamfered or eight-sided. Most of these sizes sit at the edge of a band, so measure across the top before ordering: a Medium model that measures 85" or less takes the AIRCAP 1™ Small, a Small model that measures more than 85" takes the AIRCAP 1™ Medium, and an XX-Small model that measures more than 79" takes the AIRCAP 1™ X-Small.

The Chicago and the Moreno are the ones to read carefully. The Chicago's 2024 drawing says 2170 mm, which is 85.4 inches — just over the 85" top of the Small range — so it takes the AIRCAP 1™ Medium, not the Small. Two things confirm it: Bueno's own earlier manual printed the Chicago as a flat 86" × 86", and Bueno sell a single cover for the Chicago and the Vacation, the Vacation being an 86" tub. The Moreno, a limited edition sold only in California, is the same shell. It is the Wellis Houston under the Bueno badge — the two share part number WM00863 — and Bueno's own overhead photograph of it shows the Chicago's mold, down to the wedge-shaped housing on one side and the diamond-shaped foot dome, while its published dry weight matches the Chicago drawing. So it takes the same AIRCAP 1™ Medium. Bueno printed the Moreno as both 85" and 86" on the same page, so measure across the top before ordering either one: if yours measures 85" or less, take the AIRCAP 1™ Small.

Several Bueno models share a shell with a tub sold under another name. The Denver is built on the Avatar Cinema from Wellis's WibeSpa range (part number WM00858): Bueno prints that part number on its own Denver listing and calls the tub the Denver Cinema, and Wellis's drawing for that part is 2180 mm square, which rounds to the Denver's printed 86". Wellis uses the Cinema name on more than one tub, and not all of them are this size, so if your paperwork says Cinema, check that it also says Denver or Avatar Cinema, or carries WM00858 or Bueno's own item number WM00882, before you order the Denver's Medium. The Vacation is the same physical tub as the Wellis Rental Escape, down to the part number, so the same tub appears on our Wellis page as the Rental Escape — either route gets you the same Medium. The Vista, a limited run, is the Wellis Hercules under another badge, sharing part number WM00713 and the same 85" shell, so it takes the same Small.

Two more match designs you may already know. The Kansas, a 120-volt plug-in model sold alongside the Jersey, is the Jersey's shell: Bueno described it as identical to the Jersey and printed it at 79", and Bueno's overhead image of the Kansas lines up with the Jersey's feature for feature, so it takes the Jersey's AIRCAP 1™ XX-Small and its card here shows the Jersey. Its listing carried the Dallas's part number, but the shell in that image is the Jersey's, not the Dallas's. The Hollywood is laid out like the earlier Wellis Monte Bianco: the seats, footwell and console line up feature for feature, though the part numbers differ and Wellis drew the Monte Bianco 20 mm smaller. Both work out to the Medium.

Every AIRCAP 1™ ships with the Ziptech™ modular skirt system, so you can zip on the right skirt depth for your cabinet instead of ordering a custom cover.

The one Bueno model the AIRCAP 1™ does not fit. The Atlanta is a rectangle rather than a square — its drawing says 2130 × 1600 mm, or 83.9" × 63", nearly two feet out of square — and no square cover fits it.

Measure your own spa before ordering — cabinet sizes can change between model years. The SureFit™ measuring guide walks through it in two measurements, and works for any square hot tub from 77″ to 94″, Bueno Spa or not.
