How to Choose the Right Hot Tub Cover

Some products provide critical functions that are just not glamorous. Spa covers are an example of that. They conserve heat, thus saving energy and operating costs. Cleanliness and safety are also important reasons for keeping a hot tub covered when not in use.

At first glance, many people think all spa covers are alike. It’s easy to fall into that assumption because most covers are made from a type of vinyl, are often the same rust color, have straps and handles and are filled with foam encased in plastic. Yet there can be critical differences between the performance of spa covers. Spa covers are handcrafted, and each vinyl covering is individually sewn. The craftsmanship is critical to the life of your cover and what lends added beauty to your spa when it’s not in use.

Nature can be brutal to a spa cover – since most spas are subjected to the outside elements, it’s important that your spa cover is built to withstand everything that nature offers. A well built cover, such as one designed specifically for your spa by Hot Spring, will last longer and cost less over time than a generic cover you may be tempted to purchase over the internet.
