Do I Need a New Hot Tub Cover?

Order Your Hot Tub Cover

By Laura Varnon, Marketing Coordinator

Is your hot tub cover over a few years old? Is it starting to look a bit worn from the weather and sun exposure? It might be time for a new hot tub cover!

And, we have developed a few indicators you can look for to see if your hot tub cover does need replacing.

Hot Tub Cover Condition

Hot Tub Covers degrade over time, and that’s normal. Hot Tub Covers are designed to last for about 3 to 5 years.

If you add a Cover Cover, which is available for purchase here, you can add years of life to your cover. You can also regularly treat your hot tub cover with 303 Protectant, to protect it from the sun’s UV rays. 303 Protectant also keeps dirt off of your cover and keeps it looking fresh. 303 Protectant can be purchased at any of our showrooms.

We sell replacement hot tub covers at all of our locations in Reno, Sparks, San Jose and Santa Cruz. If you are looking for a replacement cover, click here and select where your cover will be delivered to, fill out the form and one of our team members will be in touch to help you get a replacement hot tub cover.

Vinyl

Check your vinyl for signs of: Dryness, Brittleness, Dirt, Tears, Cracks.

Any and all of these symptoms might mean that it is time for a new cover. Changes in these conditions will affect the look, safety and heat retention abilities of your cover.

Hinges and Hinge Gaskets (or Shoes)

Heat can escape from a torn hinge, which might result in heat loss from your hot tub. A new cover keeps your hot tub hot and ready to use at any time.

If your hinge gasket, or shoes, are torn, damaged or missing, heat will leave your hot tub rapidly. Be sure to get that repaired or replaced, especially if you want to get into a nice, hot, hot tub during the long Reno/Tahoe winter months.

Straps and Locks

If your hot tub cover straps and locks are torn, broken, rusted or even missing, that is something you should take care of right away. Not only is it unsightly, but it can be a safety concern, especially around children and pets.

Foam Cores

This is the most important part of your hot tub cover. Over time the foam core can sag, which will create a gap in your heat seal, leaving your hot tub less hot).

Here are a few things to look out for related to your foam core, and indicating that you need a new hot tub cover:

You see puddles on top of your hot tub cover.

You notice that your hot tub cover has become much heavier over time.

There might even be an odor, if your cover has absorbed water.

How to Keep Your Hot Tub Cover (and your Hot Tub) Healthy

Treat your hot tub cover to a regular dose of 303 Cover Protectant. This will keep the Vinyl healthy. You can do this about once a month, when you change your filter. Caring for your hot tub cover properly can extend its lifespan.

Be sure to get a new hot tub cover every 3 to 5 years, or if your hot tub cover has been damaged. Caring for all of the parts of your hot tub, including the hot tub cover, will create a more enjoyable hot tub experience.

Get Directions to Our Sparks Showroom!

By Laura Varnon, Marketing Coordinator

The Spa and Sauna Company now has Clearance and Scratch and Dent Hot Tub Covers available at our Sparks Showroom, at 250 E. Glendale Ave., on the corner of McCarran Blvd. and Glendale Ave.

The Spa and Sauna Company gets Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers from a variety of places and we are always getting more. If you are looking for a specific color or size, check back in with us every so often.

How We Get Clearance Hot Tub Covers

Some of the ways we get these covers are:

  • When we do “haul-aways” where we remove someone’s hot tub (often to replace it with a brand-new one) and they no longer need their cover.
  • When people decide to get a Cover Replacement, and if their old cover is in decent condition, we evaluate it for resale.
  • When new Covers get lightly damaged in our warehouses. They’re practically new, but might have a small blemish or tear.

Regardless of where we got the cover, all our Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers go through a thorough Spa and Sauna Company evaluation by our Inventory Specialist. If a hot tub cover doesn’t meet our standards, it is thrown away.

Hot Tub Cover Grading System

We have developed a grading system for our Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers that allows us to price them between $100 to $400. This can be a steep discount from a new factory replacement cover, which typically start at $499.99. Deluxe covers for larger hot tubs or those with additional features or customizations can be over $599.99, when purchased new.

Our grading system includes:

  • A level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $400 and are like new.
  • B level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $300 and might be slightly worn.
  • C level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $200 and are typically moderately worn.
  • D level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $100 and are typically very worn or have minor rips.

Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers are sold as a “cash and carry” item. We want to make sure you have seen the item first and assessed it thoroughly to make sure you are satisfied with its condition. Should you need your Clearance or Scratch and Dent Cover delivered, we would be glad to do that, for an additional fee.

A Clearance or Scratch and Dent Hot Tub Cover might be right for you if:
