Why a hot tub cover is important
A whirlpool in your own garden is a true oasis of relaxation and recreation. However, the enjoyment can be affected by weather conditions such as thunderstorms, storms or rain. It is therefore advisable to include a cover when purchasing a whirlpool. In this article, we will look at the different aspects of a hot tub cover and highlight its benefits.
Protection from dirt and weather
A whirlpool cover not only serves as protection against dirt and weather influences, but also as an efficient heat store. It helps save energy and ensures that the water stays warmer for longer. In addition, a closed cover can be used to create additional lying space in the garden.
Protection against dirt
Covering the whirlpool prevents the entry of dirt from flying leaves, insects and other particles. This keeps the water clean and makes cleaning the hot tub easier.
Heat storage and energy saving
The water stays warm much longer under a closed hood. This has the advantage that after a thunderstorm you can quickly jump back into the bubbling water. The energy saving effect of the protective pad is obvious. Because less water evaporates, less water is needed, and because the heat lasts longer, there is no need to reheat as much.
Hot tub cover models
There are different models of hot tub covers: from thick sheets that are placed over the spa, to hoods that are pulled over the pool, to folding features where the cover is folded and placed on the brackets attached to the hot tub.
Foil cover
Foil covers are usually thick and robust. They are simply placed over the whirlpool and offer good protection against dirt and weather influences.
Hood cover
A hood cover is pulled over the pool and provides similar protection to a liner cover. However, it is often more dimensionally stable and therefore offers better protection.
Folding function
For covers with a folding function, the cover is folded and placed on the brackets attached to the spa. This model is particularly comfortable to use and creates additional space in the garden because the folded cover can be used as a lying surface.
Fully automatic coverage
The most convenient to use is the fully automatic version, which opens and closes at the push of a button.
Important considerations when choosing a hot tub cover
When choosing a hot tub cover, there are a few things to consider. Here are some points to consider:
handling
The cover should be easy to use. Ideally, it should be able to be opened and closed with just a few simple steps and in as short a time as possible.
material
The material of the cover should be robust and weather-resistant. It should be able to protect against sunlight as well as against rain and snow.
Size
The cover should be a perfect fit for your hot tub. This ensures optimal protection.
Price-performance ratio
Of course, the price-performance ratio also plays a role. The cover should be worth its price and do its job reliably.
A hot tub cover is a wise investment that helps save valuable resources such as energy and water. It protects the whirlpool from dirt and weather influences and keeps the water warmer for longer. With the right cover, you can significantly increase the comfort and longevity of your hot tub.
