Spa Covers Stink ?

Is your spa smelly?

Does it smell like mildew even though your chemicals are right? Have you changed your spa water, shocked your spa chemicals and still you have that moldy smell?

It’s not the water, it’s the Spa Cover. Really. What you are smelling is the mildew that has grown in that foam spa cover. No matter what you do to the water that smell is going to stay. If you want to prove it to yourself, try this... Go out and take that old spa cover off your hot tub. Take it off and set it far away from the spa. Now check your spa chemicals. Now go back in the house. After a day or so go out and take a whiff of your spa. Smell any mildew? Now put the old rigid foam spa cover back on the spa. Go back in the house. In a couple hours, that’s right Hours, go back out and take a whiff. The smell is back, as strong as ever.

So are you doomed to a smelly spa? What if you buy a New Replacement Foam Spa Cover? Would that help? Well, it would if you don’t put water in your spa. But that sort of defeats the purpose doesn’t it. Why? Because rigid foam covers are almost perfect laboratory conditions to grow mold and mildew when you put them over a warm source of moisture. Foam is actually pretty good insulation IF and I mean IF you keep it dry. Once it starts to saturate with water, the little air spaces in it that do the insulating are gone. When that happens, and it always does, your foam filled spa cover has about as much insulation as a wet piece of plywood.

So what’s the answer to this dilemma? Get rid of that heavy foam spa cover and get something different. Get outside the rigid foam spa cover box and get a SpaCap.

How is a SpaCap better? The SpaCap Spa Covers don't use foam to insulate. Instead of foam the SpaCap uses air chambers like your storm windows do. Layers of air. blanket your spa right from the water level. Laying right on the water, the air filled spa cover insulates the water not the steam above the spa water. Since it doesn’t use foam, the SpaCap doesn’t have any place for the mildew to grow. So your spa chemicals stay more consistent, your water stays warm and you don’t end up with a foul smell. You can get back to enjoying your spa.
