Spa Cover withstand Bad Weather

What are the characteristics of a traditional home spa cover? To begin with, they are made of rigid foam material that does not absorb strong forces or impact very well. Because of the rigid make, traditional spa covers easily break due to being hammered or experiencing strong impact from falling debris, heavy rainfall, snow and hail. If it has been some time that hail or other types of solid debris has been pounding on your cover, then it is about time to buy Replacement Spa Covers.

If you are living in a location where there are frequent hail storms and snow fall is quite heavy, then you should opt to buy a home spa cover made of aluminum. This type of material for your spa cover is sturdier than the traditional rigid type make and is able to withstand the force brought by heavy rain and snow. You won't also have to worry about rusting because aluminum is rust proof.

An important reminder when you decide to purchase the aluminum cover is to seal it well when covering the hot tub. The reason is because it may prove to be dangerous when blown by heavy winds if not tightly locked to the hot tub. A disadvantage of having an aluminum spa cover is that it also may be bulky when not in use because you will not be able to fold it and store it in a tight place.

Another material you could select as one of the options for buying Replacement Spa Covers for Apollo Spas is covers made of vinyl or tarpaulin type material. These are very flexible and foldable which is most convenient to use. There are several sealing options for this type of cover but usually does not provide very good insulation for the water in your hot tub.

From the traditional rigid foam spa covers is the reinforced rigid foam hot tub cover. The rigid foam is now placed inside the inner core of the foam spa which is reinforced by a more sturdy material like PVC. This adds to the strength of the cover and will make it able to withstand strong winds and storms. Still, everything gets to experience wear and tear therefore, when the outer plastic of the cover breaks, you will need to replace it with a new one because water will seep in the inner foam core. Water logging should be avoided at all costs because this will harbor bacteria that may cause diseases.
