Jacuzzi Hot Tub Covers
|
When the center of your cover starts to sag youll see the corners begin to lift which will cause heat loss wasting energy dollars. If you notice the cover is bowed when you fold it over it means the foam has warped which will cause stress on the center fold and the outer material eventually leading to the vinyl ripping. With the water absorption the cover will become so heavy that you wont be able to lift it or move it. The vinyl will begin to split. The zippers will stop working, and the stitching will start to rot out. Its best to replace before things get too bad. You will need to measure your existing cover to ensure you get an excellent fit with your new cover. To get the right length and width you will need to measure across the seam then measure perpendicular. If you dont already have a cover and this is a new venture then you will need to measure the outside dimensions of your spa. Remember that most covers have a 2 inch flap around the edge that will need to sit over the edge of your spa. Always go a little big rather than too small. To small and things wont sit right but a little big wont cause any problems. The foam used in the covers is an excellent insulator which will maintain the spa temperature another reason why a good fit is so important. It will also help keep debris out of the tub and it will reduce the evaporation of water. The heavy duty covers are a safety barrier for pets and younger children. These heavy covers are actually strong enough to be walked on. You can also get them with locking clasps so that there is no way a young child can get into the spa. Less evaporation means you will use fewer chemicals. Because each time you add water you need to add chemicals. Using fewer chemicals will save you money and is better for your health and the environment. A high quality hot tub cover will not only be sturdy and durable it will fit securely with no gaps and provide many years of use. The style that is hinged in the center is much easier to handle and its also convenient because you can use half the spa without removing the entire cover. The thicker the foam the higher the weight capacity so in essence the higher the safety element. A 2 inch foam might have a load capacity of 75 pounds before it would break but a 4 inch foam might have a load capacity of 250 pounds. That means a 4 inch foam cover would take the walking weight of a 250 pound person.
