Hot Tub Covers And Snow Loads

We live in Northern Michigan and our Hot Tub is outdoors. Is there a Hot Tub Cover that is easy to use even in the snow?

I use my Hot Tub all year ‘round often with freezing rain and snow, often in combination.  I am tired of struggling with heavy Hot Tub Covers…

I live in Connecticut and I need a Hot Tub Cover that can handle snow.

There are no Hot Tub Covers that use rigid foam inserts that can handle snow.  But there is a Hot Tub Cover that can handle any snow load. 

This type of Hot Tub Cover has been sold and used all over the world for nearly thirty years in places that get all types of weather including snow.

Places like Alaska, The Colorado Rockies, the ski country in the Alps of France.

In Washington State, Mount Baker still has the record for the most snow fall in a single season and yes this type of Hot Tub Cover is in use on the mountain.

Even a new foam hot tub cover will be crushed by snow if you get enough.

But SpaCap Hot Tub Covers are different. Because the bottom of the SpaCap hot tub cover rests on the water surface, it isn’t trying to make a bridge over the spa. The same reason foam hot tub covers end up broken if someone steps on them is the reason they crush under a snow load. Even with ten feet of wet snow on it an air filled Hot Tub Cover won’t be crushed. An air filled hot tub cover just transfers the weight of the snow on to the water and hot tub.

A few years ago there was a snow storm that closed the airport in Denver for more than a week. The storm dumped so much snow that roofs were collapsing. Depending on where you were it was six to ten feet of wet snow. Rigid foam hot tub covers from Denver to Colorado Springs were crushed.  But none of the hundreds of SpaCap Hot Tub Covers in use throughout the area were damaged.

If you’re tired of replacing hot tub covers because they break under a snow load, check out the only hot tub cover that has never been damaged by any snow load in thirty years at SpaCap.com.
