We all agree that not taking proper care of our hot tub cover implies letting a significant amount of money go down the drain. With only a little effort, you can increase the life of your hot tub cover, saving you a lot of time and energy in the long run. Here are some expert tips to protect your hot tub covers.

• Avert chemical damages
  Chemical damage can be labeled as one of the most common reasons that cause hot tub covers to break down.

Often, water laced with acid and disinfectants such as chlorine and bromine causes these damages. However, the good news is that these instances are preventable. Regular checking of chemical levels in water not only ensures a clean bath but also saves the cover from spoiling.

Keep all weight off the cover
No matter how tempting the cover of a hot tub looks, it’s no place to sit. Additionally, you need to ensure that you don’t store or rest anything on top of the cover. Any unwanted weight on a hot tub cover can result in sagging or breaking of the foam. With cracked foam, no cover will work efficiently.

Remove the cover with care
Careless removal of hot tub covers can leave you with a torn or broken one. Make sure you use proper handles on the sides of the cover. Avoid dragging, pulling, kicking, or grabbing the cover by the security straps.

Allow it to dry
Let your hot tub cover be as dry as possible. Make sure you shove the snow off the top in the months of winter and wipe off unwanted water after a heavy rainfall. A waterlogged cover is equal to a damaged one and will need to be replaced.

Clean it often
It’s important to keep all dirt and debris off your hot tub covers. Use of warm water and mild soap is recommended for cleaning the tub cover.

We hope that these tips to protect your hot tub cover will be useful in ensuring the health of your pool.
