Don’t be alarmed if your hot tub cover is starting to fall
apart or lose its shape, it’s just nature’s way of telling you to change your
spa cover.
There are a few ways that your hot tub is telling you it’s
time for a new cover. When the cover is retaining water and is waterlogged you
need a new cover. It seems more serious than you think. There are health risks
of continuing to use a waterlogged cover because the vapor barrier fails due to
the chemicals used to keep the water healthy eventually break down this
barrier. The foam cores inside the cover will absorb the moisture from the warm
and humid air underneath creating a paradise germs and bacteria. The condition
of the vinyl will crack and break. Another cause of spa cover deterioration is
forgetting to treat the cover with the suggested cleaning products regularly. We’re
all busy but if you do not treat the vinyl on your hot tub cover using the
recommended products the sun air, rain and snow will beat it up letting water
in.
So what can you do to prolong your hot tub cover’s life
expectancy? While we suggest that you use only those products that have been
recommended for your hot tub, leaving the hot tub cover off for about 20
minutes after using chemicals in your hot tub, will allow the vapors that can destroy
the plastic vinyl cover to escape. This also prevents them from staying in the
hot tub, where they shouldn’t be. Be nice to your spa cover, don’t put anything
heavy on it. And be careful how you handle it. Dragging it around on the ground
will cause premature wear and tear.
