Got an Unpleasant Odor?

Emulating From Your Spa?

Bet you didn’t think about the fact that it’s probably not coming from your spa itself, or the water.  If you’ve experienced a smell like this and you thought to yourself, it must be time to change the water again.  Or maybe your significant other got out of it the other night and so easily pointed out, it’s your turn to empty the spa and put new water in, because it smells.  I bet you though to yourself, er…I just changed it not that long ago.  Anyway—after you changed the water, you notice a couple days later, it still smells.  So you think, maybe I should give the water a chemical shock to eliminate any kind of bacteria causing the spa to smell.  And to no avail, just a few short days later you notice, it’s still there.  Frustrating you to no end. 

It’s because you’re remedying nothing, the problem doesn’t lie with your water being old or your chemicals not being strong enough.  Its happening because water from the rain or steam evaporation has been allowed to seep in to your cover and rest in the foam, you might not have noticed this yet, because, lets be honest, you wouldn’t—not until your cover was heavy, too heavy to lift off, and maybe not even then because you’ve got a fancy lifter, that saves you the trouble.  Regardless, the smell is coming from mildew within your foam.  If you don’t believe me.  You could take your cover off for a few days and set it away from your spa.  I bet you notice that the smell is no longer around your spa.  Then you put your cover back on your spa, and only a little while later, the smell returns.

So what to do about your smelly issue?  You could buy new foam inserts and place them in your existing cover, fresh foam, no smell of mildew.  Except you may be forgetting that the water got in there somehow, so there much be some (even the slightest) imperfection on your cover, which has allowed water or steam to seep in.  So, you decide, you’ve got no choice you have to buy another hard foam cover.  After all—you have experience with foam covers, they are the only covers you’ve ever seen on a spa, so they must be the only choice.  Wrong.  There is the perfect solution out there; you just need to be willing to go for something different.  This shouldn’t be that hard, since you loath your hard foam cover, especially at this point, it smells. 

The answer is a SpaCap spa cover.  A cover that is designed with you in mind; it insulates with air, instead of foam, and rests right on the waters surface.  It doesn’t get heavy, because there is nothing inside the cover to become saturated with water.  It insulates exactly like storm windows, trapping layers of air, that insulate right on the waters surface—which allows the air chambers to insulate with the temperature of the water, instead of insulating with foam 4 inches above the water which uses the steam evaporating from the spa to insulate.  Since the SpaCap does not have anything inside the chambers, there will be no science experiments causing smelly odors you’ll have to fight with later; and you can get back to enjoying your spa, without worries.
