Cover Care & Maintenance

​Covers are an important component of your spa. They not only keep out debris, but help keep the water insulated and keep heat in. This helps to save on your power bill. Thus, it is important that your cover works efficiently. This can be a challenge since your cover takes the brunt of the beating from the elements. If left uncared for, the vinyl and stitching on your cover can become brittle and begin to crack and break down. Here are a few easy steps from our Service Center to help prolong the life of your cover and keep it working efficiently.
  1. Spray your cover with a hose to loosen debris and dirt.
  2. Use a sponge or soft bristle brush with diluted or mild soap to clean the top and sides of your cover. Do not use soap on the underside of your cover. A solution called  CitriBright works well on the underside of your cover. Rinse clean, leaving no soap residue on the cover.
  3. FINAL STEP. The number one recommendation for vinyl conditioner is  303 Aerospace Protectant. Fabric Covers (like Sunstrong and Prolast) use 303 Fabric Guard.  Condition your cover using these non-petroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple and threads/stitching from drying out and becoming brittle. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.
Following these steps will leave your cover in a like-new condition and will add years to the life of the cover skin. Without this maintenance, your cover will crack, rip, and will make you less inclined to use your spa!

It was helpful when you said to loosen debris and dirt by spraying it with a hose. My husband and I are wanting to look into getting a hot tub cover for our hot tub since we won't be using it as much, and we want to make sure that we know how to keep it clean. We'll make sure to keep these tips in mind as we search for a hot tub cover to get!

I like how you mentioned the care and maintenance of a spa. I've been wanting to have my spa repaired and care for. I'll need to look into seeing a spa and pool professional to see if it this would be abble to help me with the care of my spa.
