Have you found out yet that those fancy Hot Tub Cover Lifters don’t help a bit when the rigid foam Hot Tub Cover is so saturated and heavy that you can’t flop even half of it back without four full grown men?
Your not the first and unfortunately, you won’t be the last.
The truth is all rigid foam Hot Tub Covers eventually end up either
broken or saturated and heavy. Too heavy for a cover lifter. Even if you were strong enough to fold the saturated foam hot tub cover back over the bar, and even if you had it reinforced enough not to rip the lifter off the sides of your spa, the hot tub cover itself is not designed strong enough to support itself from the hinge flap once the foam is saturated.
Years ago, after a severe back injury, a woman who
needed to get into her hot tub was faced with a dilema. Her doctor had told her not to
lift more than ten pounds and that she needed hydrotherapy every
day. Looking at her own hot tub cover she realized she would have to
think of a better way. Necessity being the mother of invention she set
out to build a Hot Tub Cover she could use herself.
What she came up with was a design that was both easy to use and
durable. Initially she would have been happy with something that kept
the leaves out of the hot tub that she could manage herself. For her needs the insulation
was less important than ease of use. However testing of these newly designed Hot Tub Covers
showed the added bonus of better insulation than the typical rigid foam
Hot Tub Covers. The new design allowed for the hot tub 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 Hot Tub 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 Hot Tub 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 Hot
Tub Covers were pummeled.
The new hot tub cover design created a natural dome shape 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 Hot Tub
Covers will fly.
She figured that she was not the only spa owner that was sick of heavy Hot Tub Covers, so she patented the idea and
began to market her new hot tub cover. Unfortunately, this was in the
days before the internet. Getting the word out required actually
getting out and meeting people. She traveled the country doing home
shows and fairs. She travelled to hot tub dealers all over the country
trying to convince them to sell her covers.
Most Hot Tub dealers were not interested. They make a lot of money
selling rigid foam filled hot tub covers that need to be replaced every couple years. Others did
not want to dedicate any of their limited floor space to show just a
cover, especially one that cost more to them than the cheap covers made
overseas.
Fortunately, thanks to the world wide web, you can research for
yourself and 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 hot tub. If your tired of replacing your hot tub
cover with the same old thing, look for the next generation in Hot Tub Covers.

use her hot tub by herself.
