Hot Tub Cover Thickness<\/h2>\n

Hot Tub Cover Thickness \u2013 What is the best for my Hot Tub? So it\u2019s been a few years since you bought your hot tub and, while the tub is still going strong, the cover that came with it is starting to show some wear and tear. It\u2019s possible the poor thing has even gone to the dogs \u2013 figuratively or literally.
<\/br>
\nWe all know that the hot tub covers you get with a new tub are seldom the highest quality or the sturdiest design. Even for those who purchased higher quality hot tub covers when you got your tub, unless you took a few precautions and maintained your cover properly there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be looking to replace it after two\u00a0or three\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

But what do you need to look for in replacement hot tub covers, and how can you make sure the next one lasts longer?<\/p>\n

Pick the Right Hot Tub Cover<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By \u201cpick the right hot tub cover\u201d we mean the right thickness and foam density cover for the type of climate and environment your hot tub will be in. There are several options here, and it\u2019s important to make the right choices.<\/p>\n

All Covers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While there are a few hot tub cover requirements that will change depending on where the hot tub is located, there are also a few that remain the same, and we\u2019ll deal with those first.<\/p>\n

High density foam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hot tub covers are meant to perform two main functions; safety and heat retention. Good hot tub covers not only prevents debris and unwary people from falling into the tub unexpectedly, they also help the tub to retain as much of its heat as possible between uses. A hot tub loses most of its heat through the top, and an inefficient cover can result in an enormous amount of wasted energy (and wasted money) spent heating it back up or maintaining a consistent temperature.<\/p>\n

This is what makes the density of the foam used in a cover such an important element. The denser the foam the more insulating it will be, and the less heat it will allow to escape from your hot tub. Common foam densities available for hot tub covers and spa covers is: 1 pound (good), 1.5 pound (better), and 2 pound (best) density foams.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The second main function of hot tub covers is safety, and there are a few things to look for that can make a huge difference in this regard. The first thing to look at is the child safety locks. Even if you don\u2019t have kids. It doesn\u2019t matter how unlikely it is that there will ever be children around your hot tub, it\u2019s the kind of situation where the potential consequences are so severe that no\u00a0one should take the chance. Make sure the cover comes with new hardware\u00a0for both the cover and the tub. Two locks are good but four locks are even better and will also help with the wind lifting your spa cover.<\/p>\n

The next thing to consider is the quality of the materials used in the construction of the cover. The best design and workmanship in the world can only do so much with poor quality materials.<\/p>\n

Hot Tub Covers for Different Climates<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The biggest variable in covers designed for different climates is the thickness of the cover. All covers designed for outdoor use are tapered so that rain, snow, and debris will slide off and not place undue strain on the materials. Good covers are also as waterproof as possible so they don\u2019t get waterlogged and compromise their heat retention capabilities.<\/p>\n

<\/img>Indoor Tubs and Outdoor Tubs in Temperate Climates.<\/strong>\u00a0For an indoor tub or for an outdoor tub in a milder climate. The Cover Guy\u00a0Standard cover, which tapers from 4\u201d at its thickest down to 2\u2033 at its thinnest is adequate hot tub cover thickness. Thick enough to provide heat retention given the warmer temperatures outside the tub. And perfect to keep debris out of the tub.<\/p>\n

<\/img>Most Other Climates in North America.<\/strong>\u00a0Our best selling hot tub cover thickness is the\u00a0Deluxe cover which tapers 5\u201d to\u00a03\u201d is great for any climate you\u2019ll find in North America. It is great for\u00a0the hottest and the coldest areas. The Deluxe can\u00a0withstand all lot\u00a0of snow resting on it if it needs to. And can better handle the weight of a person should that be necessary, too. Regardless of climate, if you have children or animals around the house regularly, you should get a cover at least this thick just to be safe.<\/p>\n

Anywhere with Lots and Lots of Snow<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/img>If your area occasionally receives mind-boggling amounts of snow (anything over 50\u2033 annually), or extremely cold cold-snaps in the winter, you will probably want to invest in something a little sturdier, like our Extreme cover, which hot tub cover thickness tapers from 6\u201d to 4\u201d, and can generally stand up to anything Mother Nature cares to throw at it.<\/p>\n

Making It Last<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Probably the best thing you can do to make hot tub covers last as long as possible, aside from buying the best quality cover you can.\u00a0Is to invest in a hot tub cover lifter. A cover lifter is a frame that attaches to your spa cover and makes it much easier to lift it off and put it back on. This not only makes your hot tub easier to use.\u00a0It also reduces the strain placed on the cover when you move it. A Lifter is the single biggest difference you can make to the spa cover\u2019s longevity. Next make sure to keep your cover clean from debris, snow and ice as much as possible. Make sure to clean the cover\u00a0regularly and condition it with the proper agents made for this purpose.<\/p>\n

By choosing your replacement hot tub cover carefully. By looking after it. And using a good quality cover lifter.\u00a0You can expect to be using it, and to be saving both energy and money, for many years.<\/p>\n
