7 things need to consider before buying Hot Tub Covers

Let’s explore the anatomy of a spa cover and its important components: the Foam Core, the Vinyl Covering, the Heat Seal, the Safety aspects, and what holds it all together.

The Foam Core
The foam core interior is the heart of the spa cover. Foam cores provide strength, rigidity and insulation for the cover. The life of the core is directly related to its strength and how it is sealed. Ask your hot tub dealer to show you how the plastic seals around the core. This is critical to an effective vapor lock seal around the foam core for longer life. Adding a taper to the hot tub cover allows for efficient water run off—very helpful in wet climates. A 3.5″ to 2.5″ taper provides a strong cover, especially at the corners where lesser taper can weaken long-term stability of the foam.

Most hot tub covers are built with standard EPS foam core of 1.5 lb. density, tapered 3.5″ to 2.5″, delivering excellent strength and insulation. A 2.0 lb. density provides extra durability and insulation, useful for larger spas. The foam cores are only as strong as they are reinforced. Support is critical at the midpoint (hinge) of the cover, for added strength along the spine of the foam cores. A minimum of 16 gauge non-corrosive, reinforcing channel will ensure long life even through repeated use.

The foam core is the mother thing that you need to consider in buying a new hot tub cover. It will provide strength, rigidity and insulation for the cover. Ask your dealer about this thing.

The Vinyl Covering
First of all, let me tell you something, vinyl hot tub cover is the latest invention of hot tub covers industry. By this new standard the energy saving will efficiently saved, heat conservation and safety element. Today almost every hot tub sold is shipped with a cover.

Ok, lets we started. First of all before buying a hot tub covers, you must make sure the vinyl should pass an accelerated UV test for 1500 hours of UV resistance, and be treated for mildew resistance, chlorine resistance, and a -40 degree cold crack. Tub made with at least 25 ounce, durable marine grade vinyl, treated to resist the impact of UV rays and extreme temperatures. From this, our hot tub cover will give us the best proper maintenance for a beautiful appreance and years of maximum performance. All factors above you must consider in buying the hot tub cover because it will exposed to sun, rain snow, chemicals and more that will decrease the ability of that hot tub cover.

Another thing that you must consider to buy hot tub covers that paste with vinyl because, at the bottom of the hot tub cover is exposed to stress of chemical. Because of you use the vinyl type of hot tub covers, it will formulated to withstand on going exposure to these harsh environment.

Hot Tub Covers Design.
The weft structure creates an interlocking of fibers to protect the foam core and its plastic seal. The cover should have at least one or more drain holes on each underside half of the cover to control water accumulation between the core and the bottom vinyl. Better manufacturers dress their drain hole with a scratch resistant, color coordinating grommet.  

Labeled as a Safety Cover.
Every product that produce will more confirm follow the safety rule if that product was inspected by a third-party. ASTM Safety Cover Standard F1346-91 is standard label that must followed by manufactures, make sure that hot tub covers labeled on it.

Hinge Seal
Basically this thing will prevent heat loss at the hinge. So, without a seal at the inside and outside of the cover hinge heat loss will happen. So, make sure you ask the manufacture about this problem.

Warranties
Depending on place or environment that you put the hot tub cover, you must acknowledge that good cover manufacture will you 3 or more years in warranty.

Dealer Support
A good manufacture will concern about their product. Not just make money but not care enough about customer need. Make sure, there is also include plan that covered by manufacture after you buy hot tub covers. So, it much easier for you to solve any problem on hot tub covers that you buy before. Recommend, if the time that you can ask them free help in warranty period.

Tip 1
Make sure you know what you need to know when buy a new thing for you. This method will prevent bad thing especially on money loss factor. Make sure in your mind, dealer is like an enemy for you. Because what ever it takes this dealer must sale to you. So the conclusion is dealer’s objective only to sale product but not the one that concern your life.

Tip 2
They can also order you an original factory replacement. Your local dealer has an established relationship with the hot tub manufacturer, a valued investment in working with you and in your community. Wherever possible, we suggest you purchase your hot tub cover from your local dealer. When you visit your local dealer, you know what product you are getting and you know how they will care for you.

Tip 3
Hot tub covers insulating capabilities are assessed using what we call “R-value.” The general rule is that the higher the R-value of a hot tub cover, the better.

Tip 4
If the foam is damaged there isn’t a cheap and easy fix. If the vinyl is damaged then the fix is easy and cheap.
