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.
The air filled cover that insulates better and lasts longer than any
rigid foam hot tub cover. The cover designed by a woman so she could
use her hot tub by herself.

All this talk about going green, a big part of saving the
environment is to avoid creating more waste that will just end up clogging
our land fills. Before you replace your hot tub cover think about this, there are 10 million
spa owners in the USA, if each one of them uses a typical rigid foam
spa cover on their hot tub how much waste are they creating?

Let’s figure that each
foam hot tub cover is only two inches thick and every spa is eight feet by
eight feet. That would mean each spa cover contained about 10.666 cubic
feet of foam per spa cover. For the rest of this article we will use
10.5 cubic feet per cover even though the industry has gone to thicker foam, tapered foam which would add a lot to these calculations.

If each cover on every hot tub becomes saturated or broken within two years and
needs to be replaced that would mean that we would be adding 52.5
million cubic feet of waste to our landfills in just spa covers every
year.
If it takes two and a half Hot Tub Covers worth of foam to make up
one cubic yard that translates to 4 million cubic yards of waste added
to our land fills every two years just in hot tub covers.

If there are 11 million Cubic yards of stone in the Great Pyramid at
Giza, we are adding enough foam to build a duplicate of it to our
landfills just from used hot tub covers every six years conservatively.
There are four and a half million cubic yards of concrete in Hoover
Dam. We could build a two lane highway of discarded foam filled hot tub
covers from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida every two years.

In case you have not noticed most foam filled Hot Tub Covers are not two
inches thick anymore. If all those old foam hot tub covers were four inches
thick all these calculations would be double.
But we are just
being conservative so we want to stick with two inches thick. If we
ripped the hot tub covers in half and laid those pieces end to end we could
circle the earth at the equator on used spa covers every two years.

Don’t worry about burying the planet in pavement, in a few years we could bury the entire
planet with foam just from saturated foam hot tub covers from the USA
alone.

So what is the solution? Well shop for a better hot tub cover. There are
options available on the internet that your local spa dealer probably
does not offer. You do not have to quit using your spa to save us. You
just need to get a Spa Cover that does not use foam to insulate. There would be two major advantages
to doing so. First the spa cover that did not use rigid foam to
insulate would last longer. Since what always fails in the typical hot tub
cover is the foam, either breaking or getting so saturated that you
cannot lift it, a hot tub cover that did not use foam would tend to last
longer.

Second, if the new type of Hot Tub Covers don’t use rigid foam they will
also be a lot more friendly to the environment when it does come time
to discard it. Less trash, less waste, less land fill, not that is what
going green is all about.

How dangerous are overweight foam Hot Tub Covers? Recently a friend was
checking the chemicals in his hot tub. Rather than attempting removing the
entire hot tub cover, he decided to just lift one side enough to get at the
water long enough to get a sample. He bent over and supporting the
heavy hot tub cover with his left arm while attempting to fill a sampling
bottle with water from the hot tub to check the chemical levels.

As he leaned over further, the weight of the water logged hot tub cover
dislocated his left shoulder and allowed the cover to hit him on the
back knocking him into the hot tub. He was now face down in the water with
his legs pinned by the weight of the hot tub cover. His shoulder was
dislocated and he was
in extreme pain. He tried to move but could not budge
the weight of the waterlogged hot tub cover.

He began to choke as he swallowed water and tried to rise up but
could barely get his head out of the water. With what could have been
his last breath, he screamed for help. Fortunately he had left the door
from the house to the deck open. His daughter and her boy friend heard
the commotion and looked out to see his legs sticking out from under the hot tub
cover.

His daughter and her boy friend were able to lift the cover off of
his legs. His daughters boy friend jumped into the hot tub and pulled
him up from the water. They took him to the emergency room where they
put his shoulder back in place and treated him for shock.

My friend had owned a hot tub for 12 years and had replaced 3
conventional rigid foam core hot tub covers, each when they became too heavy and saturated to lift. Regardless of manufactures
claims, all the hot tub covers became waterlogged. He has since bought a Hot Tub
Cover that uses air chambers to insulate rather than rigid foam. He is
certain that the air filled spa cover will not try to kill him as the
other foam cover did.

Here is something you will never hear from dealers who sell foam Hot Tub Covers, every year people are injured by foam hot tub covers. Most of the
injuries have come from a gust of wind blowing the heavy foam cover
onto people as they use their spa. Sometimes people attempting to
carefully maneuver a saturated foam cover off their spa, have lost
their grip and had the hard foam cover slam down causing injury.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission people have
even been drowned when they have become trapped under heavy foam
hot tub covers.

Maybe now is a good time to search for a better Hot Tub cover. With
the World Wide Web, you can literally have the world to shop from. Do
you really want to risk injury or death trying to use your spa?

Heavy Broken Hot Tub Covers Waste Energy. I saw this advertised on line
the other day. When I went to check out the guys website, guess what
he’s selling? Rigid foam hot tub covers that will end up heavy or broken,
usually within two years.

Instead of selling you something that won’t get heavy or broken he
keeps selling the same thing, hoping you won’t notice. If you have had
to replace a hot tub cover because it got heavy, maybe the question you
should ask before you buy the next one is, Why?

What causes the foam Hot Tub Covers to get heavy is that it traps
moisture inside. Rigid foam board is used in lots of insulation
applications. It can be used around refrigeration storage areas like in
a super market. Layers of foam board can insulate the cool storage area
while the customer area can be kept comfortably warm. But in this type
of installation the foam is not subjected to hot moist air. As long as
the foam stays dry it has a predictable insulation value. But if the
foam were to have moisture in it instead of the little air spaces it
uses to insulate, it would have no insulation value at all.

If you wanted to produce the perfect environment for a rigid foam
board to become saturated it would be to put it over a source of warm,
humid, steam. You couldn’t get water into it faster even if you tied it
to the bottom of your swimming pool. Why? Because water molecules are
bigger than steam molecules. Steam can get into smaller spaces faster
than water. And once the steam cools, it condenses back into water,
displacing air in the foam as it does.

Long before you notice the hot tub cover getting heavy, moisture has
begun to replace the air spaces in your cover. When it does, the little
insulation value that cover might have had, goes down dramatically.
From whatever it may have been when you first put it on your hot tub it has
gone down to as much insulation as a wet piece of plywood by the time
you actually notice it got heavy.

You might get fooled into thinking that it is still insulating well
because snow won’t melt off it. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. Snow
won’t melt off a frozen pond either but it doesn’t mean the ice is
insulating the water. When snow falls on a saturated foam hot tub cover, it
freezes the moisture in the cover because it is laying directly on the
cover. The water of your hot tub is never in contact with the foam since
the foam is resting way up on top of the acrylic of the hot tub, usually
about a foot above the water surface. What’s happening is the warm spa
water is evaporating into steam. That steam is rising, because that is
what heat does, until it hits the bottom of the frozen hot tub cover. Then
the steam cools and turns back into water. The water, now cooled,
falls, because that’s what cold does, back into the warm spa water,
cooling it off.

So if you wanted to invent a radiator to cool off your warm hot tub
water this would be the perfect design. Put a block of frozen foam over
the water. Load it up with snow so it will keep the spa cover frozen
and stand back and watch the power meter spin. Instead of buying
another rigid foam spa cover that will positively end up like the one
you are replacing now, shop online for one that is designed better.
Look for Hot Tub Covers that will insulate the water from the water surface, without rigid foam.
