To all our hot tub enthusiasts!
This is the perfect moment for you to check the condition of your cover, as it will be long-term beneficial to your spa water quality and running costs.
Please read through the below for guidance and some advice. |
|
Signs to look for that your spa cover needs replacing - It has slowly become heavier than its initial weight and is hard to lift off. Any indications of this will mean the cover has been saturated with water and that heat retention has been lost. Some start off weighing several KG and can get as heavy as 50-60kg!
- Signs of the vinyl cover failing such as discoloration, tearing, seam splitting, and zip unraveling.
- The foam has indentations, cuts, or worse off cracking.
- Dirt, Mold, grease, moss, tree sap, and mildew have built up for a long time, and will be hard to remove from cover.

| - Choose the larger size cover if your existing measurements fall between two sizes. An overhang will be effective, but if the cover is too small, it won't sit correctly and may allow heat to escape.
- Contact your original spa brand to inquire about the specific model you own and its sizing. Once you provide us with the details, we can proceed with fulfilling your cover order.
