We've heard people ask, "Do I Really Need a Hot Tub Cover?"
The short answer is "yes", and there are some really good reasons:
- Safety - If you have children or pets, you absolutely don't want a huge vat of warm water left open, tempting them into an accident. An open spa can pose a real danger of accidental drowning to children and pets. A quality hot tub cover can literally save someone's life.
- Cleanliness - Without a cover if your hot tub is outside it will accumulate dirt, leaves, rain, bugs and sometimes even thirsty animals that are unfortunate enough to slide in.
- Appearance - An attractive hot tub cover will adds to the finished look of your spa and also protect the tub itself from the deteriorating effects of sun and weather.
- Money - It takes a lot of energy and costs a lot of money to heat several hundred gallons of water to 104 degrees. A good hot tub cover acts as an insulator to hold in the heat and it also keeps the water from evaporating. Think of trying to heat your house without a roof. A hot tub cover serves a similar function.
As with most consumer items you can find lower quality cheap hot tub covers as well as expensive top of the line ones. There are a huge variety of styles and types as well. We'll introduce you to many of these so you have the information you need to make the decision that is best for your situation. So whether your present hot tub cover is a wreck and you need a new one or if you bought a used tub or spa and it came without a hot tub cover we've got some great information here to help you make the right choice.
Just a quick note here on terminology. Some people will argue there is a difference between "spas" and "hot tubs". We'll leave the arguing to them and will use either term to just mean a big container of warm water that feels great to soak in!
