If you've ever owned a Hot Tub you know how important it is to have a good cover.
It keeps bugs out, heat in, and costs low.
The average temperature is 90 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
In order to maintain that constant temperature you must have a good cover.
Most people want to save a few hundred dollars on a cover after they've just spent thousands on the spa and all the accessories.
If you choose to save a few hundred dollars up front, I must warn you, you're going to pay thousands in the long run.
Without a good cover your hot tub is going to endure more wear and tear than it has too.
The motor is going to work more because it has to keep that steady temperature.
Hot tub covers are like anything else that is manufactured.
You have different levels of quality for different types of people.
The high quality covers are made with top grade vinyl that stands up to harsh weather conditions.
These are the obvious choice for a hot tub that's outside.
For the inside you can get the middle of the road cover and be perfectly safe.
Never choose the cheap vinyl that's see through and light as a feather.
The inside of the cover should consist of an aquatic grade foam core instead of the cheaper construction grade that many retailers like to sell you.
The construction grade foam is not resistant to water.
It also lets about 30% more heat escape because of how thin it is.
The aquatic grade foam is resistant to water and keeps up to 30% more heat inside.
How can you tell the difference between the two? The cheap cover is going to be extremely light, flimsy, and could have a nice cover to disguise the inner layers.
The higher quality covers are going to be heavy and durable.
Most of them will have handles to make lifting safer for you and the cover.
There is no doubt that you'll know a good hot tub cover when you see one.
