Since we opened our first showroom in Farmingdale, Best Hot Tubs has included a hot tub cover with all our basic spa packages. We do this because a quality hot tub cover will not only keep unwanted things out and reduce the amount of chemicals needed to keep clean water, but a cover also keeps in the heat — saving energy.
However. While our spa covers are well made, they still need some care. For one thing: when opening your spa, don’t pull too hard on its handles — especially in winter if it’s covered with snow.
Keeping your cover cleaned according to manufacturer’s directions is another helpful bit of advice. I’s also very wise to keep your hot tub cover clear of debris: fallen limbs, wet leaves, snow, ice, etc. Because even though the whole purpose of a cover is to keep all that out of your clean spa water, and not thereby messing up your pH balanced, etc., even a cover can deteriorate over time if not kept free of contaminants.
Hot Tub Safety
When it comes to safety, a quality hot tub cover will hold the weight of a child, or family pet, and keep them from getting into the hot tub unattended.
That said, an excellent article in aquamagazine.com previously warned, “Other misguided hot tub owners step in and then sit on the cover (an especially common habit when hot tub guests take a photo together). So, no sitting on your cover.
Hot Tub Safety Locks
Our safety covers do lock into place when not in use. However, for an extra layer of safety when there’s no supervision around, the hot tub cover can be completely locked down with this additional cover lock. Photo: Bullfrog Spas.
Hot Tub Cover Lifters (Long Island/NY):
Another key amenity we include as part of our standard package is a cover lifter. This bar helps you do what the name implies: lift the cover — and in a matter of seconds.
Let’s face it, if it’s easy to use, you’ll use it — and this makes it easy. It also will hold the cover up for extra privacy, not to mention it makes storing your cover the simplest of tasks. Cover lifters help the cover to take up little space and keeps it off the ground, ensuring it will last longer.
How’s This for a Great Hot Tub Cover Story
Hot Tub Cover as Superhero!
According to news reports awhile back, a three-year-old in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, fell from his home’s third-floor balcony onto an unusual Safety Net — the family’s hot tub cover.
Apparently unhurt, he nonchalantly walked back into the house and told his grandfather what happened, who quickly called paramedics. In an abundance of caution, he was taken in an ambulance for tests, where it was learned that the hot tub cover not only saved his life but completely protected him from injury.

To Sum Up
Bear with Margarita
USA Today: Bear takes a dip in hot tub, sips a margarita.
While you have to appreciate a bear that knows a good thing, your hot tub cover, with its secure locks, should keep all uninvited guests like him from your hot tub.
And besides catching falling kids, it also keeps children safely out of the hot tub unless you’re with them.
Your hot tub will also help you save energy and keep your water clean. So your cover is worth caring for, don’t you agree?
