SPA COVERS: PROTECT YOUR HOT TUB FROM WEATHER
Your dream backyard is almost complete. You have decided on your perfect spa and have customized it to your liking. Don’t forget to put a cover on it! A spa cover on your hot tub is crucial.
A whirlpool tub cover is one of the most important whirlpool tub necessities.
- As the heat from the spa water increases, the spa cover insulates against heat loss, which, without a cover, would incur additional electrical costs to the homeowner.
- Leaves, dirt and other debris are captured by the cover and prevented from falling into the water.
- The top of the spa is protected from damage caused by extreme weather conditions. The cover ensures that the hot tub cover skirt is long enough to prevent the spa’s acrylic rim from being exposed to harmful sunlight.
- Children, pets and unwanted animals cannot access the spa when not in use. In addition, our hot tub covers meet the safety requirement of ASTM F-1346-91.
Today, as a custom spa cover manufacturers, we will explain some important key points.
What should consumers look for when buying a hot tub cover?
There are plenty of cover manufacturers that will promise a great cover replacement, however, many go in and out of business, so if you want to ensure your warranty is intact, make sure the company will be around to honor it should anything happen. Measurements are the key to a good fit. Normally, a manufacturer will have the best parts for replacement, since they maintain engineering drawings for the spas they manufactured. If you are buying a spa cover from a non-manufacturer they will ask for various dimensions. These dimensions will be held and if we mistakenly give the wrong information to the cover manufacturer, you will be stuck with a cover as they are custom built. The results can be disastrous in that you will have an ill-fitting cover that does not retain heat.
Tell us important facts about our hot tub covers and why you selected them.

Anything else you think a consumer should know about hot tub covers?
Hot tub covers should be cared for just like any outdoor product. Keeping your vinyl cleaned and conditioned will help extend the life of your cover. As the main ingredient in encasement is vinyl, please use a high quality cleaner and conditioner for vinyl that is not petroleum based. Your deck is exposed to air pollutants, acid rain, bird droppings and strong UV rays. Failure to care for your deck properly can prematurely age your deck.
