Hot tub covers
Hot tub covers are essential for responsible hot tub owners.
Covers keep out debris and pests, they prevent drowning, and they also
reduce operating costs. Most spas come with a cover, but often these
covers lack essential features.
To best provide safety hot tub covers should have a locking
mechanism or they can have tie downs. The cover should also be able
to bear the weight of a small child without collapsing. Children should
be discouraged from the climbing on the cover even if the cover can
hold the weight to prevent falls and other injuries.
Hot tub covers reduce operating costs because they help
retain heat and prevent evaporation. Covers have an R-value which denotes
how well a cover will retain heat, the higher the number the more heat
it will retain. The owner will go through fewer chemicals when a cover
is used because evaporation is reduced.
