The Best Hot Tub Cover

Home June 19th, 2009



If you could have the perfect hot tub cover, what would its attributes be?

Here is a list of some of the most important qualities good hot tub covers have.

First off, you want the cover to be safe. This is the most important part of all and if you are not careful, you may purchase a cover that is not childproof or is faulty in some crucial way. A hot tub cover that was built following the guidelines of the ASTM is by nature going to be more safe than one that is not.

The ASTM is a regulatory body that looks after issues concerning safety.

A strong, rugged, vinyl covering will help protect the “working parts” of a hot tub cover and will ensure that it lasts long and looks presentable for as long as possible. The chemicals in a jacuzzi or spa a very strong and can erode a cover quite quickly if it is not up to snuff.

You know that saying, don’t judge a book by its cover? It applies to hot tub covers as well as other parts of life. The most crucial element of a hot tub cover is the internal foam core. The better quality this element is, the more heat you will be able to keep in the tub, which will save you hundreds of dollars in heating bills.

A warranty is a beautiful thing. If you can find a quality spa cover and find an even better warranty–something like five years–then you are set. You definitely want one of these.

A good hot tub cover has a well-built skirt that hangs around the outside of the cover, allowing rain or other precipitation and dirt to fall off the sides and not get caught inside the cover. You can tell a good quality jacuzzi cover from a bad one by the quality of the skirt. A good one helps keep heat in the tub and dirt out.

Grommeted drain holes are an often overlooked element of a hot tub covers. These are small eyelets that allow any moisture caught inside the cover to precipitate out. This is crucial because this prevents mildew and mold from destroying the spa cover.
