Heavy Hottub Covers Got You Out In The Cold?

Did you know that all rigid foam Hot Tub Covers eventually end up either broken or saturated and heavy.

Back in the 1970's there was a woman who because of a severe back injury needed to get into her hot tub to get the therapy she needed. Since her doctor had told her not to lift more than ten pounds she could not get her own hottub cover open. She recognized that without a significantly lighter cover she was never going to get into her hottub. She was motivated to find a solution.

After a lot of trial and error she developed a design that was both easy to use and durable.

For her the real goal was to be able to use the hottub. Insulation was less important to her than ease of use. During the development and testing of her new design she was pleasantly surprised to find the new design had better insulation than the typical rigid foam Hottub Covers.

Her improved Hottub Cover design allowed for the bottom of the cover to rest on the surface of the water so it drastically reduced heat loss from evaporation. With less evaporation the chemicals used to keep the water clear and clean stayed more consistent. With the cover laying right on the water insulation began at the water surface which is important since that is what you’re trying to keep warm.

Using the water to support the Hottub Cover allowed the new design to be able to withstand more weight as in snow loads, without collapse as rigid hot tub covers do. Since it uses air to insulate rather than the foam found in typical Hottub Covers, the improved hot tub cover could absorb impact better too. So in areas that get brutal hail storms, her hot tub cover would not be damaged while traditional Hottub Covers were pummeled.

Since her design used air to insulate rather than foam the hottub cover created a natural dome while on the spa causing wind to blow over without creating lift. If you live in an area that gets strong winds you already know that rigid foam Hottub Covers will fly. We get pictures of all the things people use to keep their foam covers on from cement blocks to heavy webbing straps.

Now, thanks to the World Wide Web, you can find out all about this innovative design from the comfort of your home. Available right from the factory you can order a cover custom made for your hottub. If your tired of replacing your hot tub cover with the same old thing, look for the next generation in Hottub Covers.
