Why You Really Need a Hot Tub Cover
Owning a hot tub in Ontario means enjoying it through all kinds of weather — blazing sun, freezing snow, pouring rain. A hot tub cover isn’t just “nice to have”; it’s essential.
Here’s what a good cover does for you:
- Keeps the water warm – which means lower heating bills
- Prevents debris buildup – leaves, bugs, and dirt stay out
- Adds safety – especially important if you have kids or pets
- Protects against UV damage and snow load
- Reduces evaporation – you won’t have to keep topping off your water
Without a cover, your hot tub works overtime — and costs you more. And in winter? It might not work at all.
Key Features of a Good Spa Cover
We’ve seen what happens with cheap or poorly made covers: they sag, soak up water, crack, and break down after just a couple of seasons. That’s not what we do.
When we design and build hot tub covers for sale, we focus on:
- Custom fit – measured for YOUR spa model
- Tapered foam cores – so rain and snow slide off, not in
- Marine-grade vinyl – strong, UV-protected, and weather-resistant
- Double-stitched seams – made to last, no tearing
- Aluminum reinforcement – keeps the cover from warping or dipping
And here’s the big one: vapor barrier protection. This stops your foam from absorbing water over time. Lightweight covers are easier to lift, more energy efficient, and last way longer.
Built for Ontario: Covers That Handle Real Weather
Ontario doesn’t mess around when it comes to weather. Between -30°C nights, wet spring storms, and heavy snowfall, your spa cover needs to be tough.
That’s why we created two levels of cover protection, both made here in Canada:
Ultimate Series
Our thickest, most insulated option with a 5” to 3” taper. Built for areas with heavy snow and deep cold. Great for Northern Ontario and winter warriors.
Premier Series
Still strong, but a bit lighter with a 4” to 3” taper. Perfect for more moderate climates or spa owners who want a balance of protection and affordability.
Both come with reinforced handles, lockable straps, and a 5-Year Pro-Rated Warranty.
Tips to Make Your Cover Last
Buying a quality hot tub cover in Ontario, Canada is the first step — but a little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep it going strong:
- Clean it monthly – wipe with mild soap and water
- Apply UV conditioner – keeps vinyl flexible and prevents cracks
- Don’t let snow pile up – sweep it off with a soft brush
- Let it breathe – prop it open every now and then to prevent mildew
- Avoid placing anything on it – no plants, furniture, or snow shovels!
With just a little upkeep, your hot tub cover can last well over five years.
