Hot tub covers are essential because they keep your spa clean and safe. They prevent impurities from getting into the water, they stop pets or small children from drowning, and they help retain heat so you can make use of your spa anytime and minimize heating costs. In addition, they shield the spa from the sun that can destroy your investment.

But even if you care for your spa, you have to change its cover later. This can happen for numerous reasons. Through the years, your spa cover may become heavy and waterlogged, maybe even moldy. If rain accumulates above the cover, it is absorbed by the foam which sags. This affects the spa covers insulating effect, creating bigger heating bills.

As things get worse, the stretched vinyl cover may break or end up so heavy from collecting water that its hard to move. Until you get a new spa cover, you can stop water-logging by unzipping the cover every two to three months and dry the foam.

The big enemy of spa covers is chemical abuse. Several people put chemicals in their spa to clean it. But they shouldn’t forget to remove the cover at least an hour after putting in these chemicals. This gives the spa time to breath, allows the chemicals to combine with the water, and protects the spa cover. Mother Nature can likewise wreak havoc on spa covers, particularly those that don’t allow water to run off but to collect around the cover. Although most spa covers can support 200 pounds, why take the risk and abuse them? Keep in mind that rainfall, snow, tree limbs and leaves don’t live in your spa cover and shouldn’t be there.

In general, change the spa cover every two decades or earlier if there are problems. Outdoor spa covers usually wear out easily than indoor ones because they are exposed to the elements. Your spa cover surely wont live as long as your spa so replace it when the time comes.
