Waterlogged Hot Tub Cover - Time For a New Spa Cover

waterlogged hot tub cover canada
Do you have a waterlogged hot tub cover?


If you discover the problem at an early stage, the simply open the spa cover zippers and remove both of the foam insert elements to let them dry out.


You can dry out your inserts every 3-4 months to make sure they are not getting waterlogged due to tears in the vapour barrier, a protective layer around the actual foam core inserts.


There are 1 1/2 pound foam cores and 2 pound foam cores. The reason you cannot just replace these with foam panels from the local Home Depot is because they have a sealed vapour barrier around them to keep moisture out of the core and prevent the cover from becoming waterlogged.


Having a waterlogged cover not only makes the cover much heavier and more difficult to remove, but also is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. Once the mold gets to the inside of the cover elements, it is best to just replace the spa cover rather than trying to kill all of the mold. If you only have a mild case of mildew buildup with condensation, you can try drying out the inserts, spraying the affected area with an anti-mold agent and making sure it is completely dry before finding and sealing the hole in the vapour barrier.
