Selecting your Next Spa Cover

To begin we need to define the function of a spa cover.

1) Keep out debris. Keeping leaves, rain and debris out of the spa water is important. This helps the water filters and chemicals do their job keeping the water clear and ready for you next use.

2) Insulate. This is the second most important reason for having a cover. Since you want to jump in your spa whenever the mood or opportunity hits you. The objective is to keep the spa water warm while using the least amount of power to do so. If your spa cover insulates well that saves you money on your power bill.

3) Easy access to the spa. If your spa cover keeps out the leaves and insulates the water but you have to wrestle it every time you want to get into the spa then it isn?t worth much. In my many years in the spa cover business I have discovered the number one reason people quit using their spa is this one thing, ease of use. If your cover gets heavy and it just becomes too much of a struggle to get in to use the spa you will use it less and less. You’ll sell it or give it away to and say these words as it leaves, “It works fine, it just needs a new cover.” Would you give away your car because it needs new tires? If you purchased your spa new it cost about as much as a small car.
