What are the benefits of hot tub and spa covers?
In our opinion, your hot tub or spa isn't complete without a cover! If you plan to get the most out of your hot tub or spa, a cover is essential for protection and the longest lifespan possible from your investment.
Some of the most substantial benefits of having a cover for your hot tub or spa include:
- Reduced Electricity Costs: No matter your climate, it is essential to save on hot tub heating costs and get maximum enjoyment out of your hot tub. A high-quality spa cover will ensure this and is designed to conserve heat and reduce your electricity costs.
- Protection: Rain, snow, and general debris are common problems with hot tub covers. This is why our tapered covers are ideal; the gently sloped shape means all those things will just roll off and not “pool” onto the top of the cover. All inner core thicknesses are tapered to prevent this issue.
- No Heat Loss: One common problem with hot tubs is that steam can leak out of the hinges of the hot tub cover. Not to worry, the practical, simple design of all covers at 1st Direct Pools includes a standard closed cell foam steam stopper at the ends of the hinged section that prevents heat from escaping through the gap.
Additional features are available, including a full closed cell steam stopper pad that can also be manufactured for further heat saving, and a double wrap membrane barrier.
Hot Tub Cover FAQs
+ Why should I invest in a bespoke hot tub thermal cover?
Because a one-size-fits-all approach often leaves gaps where heat can escape, a custom-made hot tub thermal cover is the most effective way to lower your running costs. Whether you are looking for a thermal cover hot tub specifically designed for rigid spas or a lazy spa thermal cover for an inflatable model, high-quality insulation for hot tub cover prevents the natural heat loss that occurs through the surface of the water.
+ How do I know when it is time for a hot tub cover replacement?
You should consider a hot tub cover replacement if your current hot tub lid feels heavy or waterlogged. This happens when the internal foam absorbs moisture, destroying its ability to retain heat. Since our covers are made to your exact specifications, a new hot spa cover will provide a much tighter seal than a generic hot tub and cover setup, protecting your investment more effectively.
+ Can I get a custom thermal cover for an inflatable spa?
Yes, our suppliers can produce a bespoke lay z spa thermal cover or cleverspa thermal cover to provide a superior fit compared to a standard hot tub inflatable lid. Using a dedicated, made-to-measure insulated hot tub cover on your inflatable spa can significantly reduce your heating time and keep the water warmer for longer between uses.
+ What is the benefit of using a hot tub cover lifter with a custom lid?
A hot tub cover lifter (sometimes called a hot tub lid lifter) is a mechanical arm that allows one person to move the tub cover with ease. Using a lifter prevents the vinyl from being dragged on the ground, which protects the lifter and the cover.
