Remember to get a new hot tub lid this Spring
You should keep a couple of things in mind when searching for a new hot tub cover: the location and your weather. If you keep your spa hot year round, you will want a spa cover that will minimize your heating bills, especially if you live in a chilly climate. Consider the levels of sun, cold, rain, wet snow and snowfall your hot tub cover will receive. All these variables should impact what type of hot tub cover you get, and just what options you should choose when buying one to ensure you receive the best cover possible.

Perhaps the most significant misunderstanding would be that the foam core thickness is an essential piece of the cover for keeping your heating bills low. In fact, this is simply not entirely correct. For efficient insulation, make sure you look for the thickest possible foam cover. This is because of the way the insulation value, also called the "R-value" is determined. This value can be found if you take the insulating value of the foam and multiplying it by the cover's thickness. The R-value per dollar is greater for a thicker cover than a cover with more dense foam.

If you are indeed replacing your hot tub cover because your current cover is water logged and weighs a ton, be sure the cover you select has the best water logging protection available. In the industry, the water logging protection component of the cover is termed the vapor barrier. It's referred to as the vapor barrier because heavy steam from the hot water is what will eventually permeate the cover, which makes it heavy. Even though a lot of people believe it's designed to keep rain and snow out of the cover, this is not true.
