Why would you buy a different kind of hot tub cover than the one your spa came with? Because Every traditional foam-filled hot tub cover is going to end up the same as the one you need to replace right now! No matter how big the taper, no matter what the foam is wrapped in, no matter how it is reinforced, Every Foam Hot Tub Cover WILL end up saturated, heavy or broken.
That is exactly the reason that we developed the SpaCap hot tub cover. The SpaCap was developed by a single woman that needed to be able to get into her hot tub by herself for therapy after a severe back injury. In the late 1970s, we were basically a small canvas shop doing everything from boat upholstery to truck tarps.

All traditional rigid foam hot tub covers will end up saturated or broken. It's not you, it's them. Bad enough on a regular size hot tub, on a Swim Spa a Heavy covers can be downright dangerous. That's why SpaCap swim spa covers were designed. Rain is not what makes the foam heavy. It's the steam coming off the hot tub water under it.
We are also the only spa cover that uses Sunbrella marine grade fabric. Where other spa covers utilize vinyl from China rated by hours outdoors, Sunbrella is Made in the USA and rated by years outdoors. SpaCap Swim Spa Covers tend to last ten to twelve years, still lightweight and easy to use. That's about five times longer than most foams filled spa covers.
Short answer: Yes, only better. Long answer: When we were designing the original spa cover, we were mainly concerned with making it easy to use. The first covers we built had a thin layer of closed-cell foam about a quarter-inch thick that actually insulated as well as the typical rigid foam covers regardless of how thick their foam was.
For hot tubs up to 96" x 96" our prices start at $595.00 plus options and shipping. The outer fabric is Marine Grade Sunbrella in any of the more than 100 colors it is offered in. The reason we use Sunbrella is that it is rated by YEARS outdoors rather than HOURS like vinyl. The SpaCap Premium gives you your choice of over 100 Marine Grade Sunbrella colors.

Crappiest hot tub cover ever; does NOT outlast the others, the membrane fails and it fills with water, the customer service S U C K S (supposedly I was speaking with the owner.... 'Jeff' via chat), they have no suggestions other than to drain it and maybe put one of those solar bubble covers on it before the water-logged air bag of theirs..... And it stinks! It is very mildewy smelling and takes away the enjoyment of tubbing. I'm going back to a traditional cover now that they make them tapered. Do NOT spend your money here; it is all custom and wayyyyy more expensive for the same

Not a happy customer...I would NOT buy a Spa Cap. I used mine for 3 years and it started to take in water. I sent it to them for evaluation and they told me the cap is not repairable. They state there are cracks that are taking in water which they said is my fault due to adding too many chemicals to the spa. I religiously check my ph levels weekly, only adding chemicals when the ph is off. Who wants to sit in a tub of water full of chemicals? Our philosophy is less is better. I asked Marlis Sliger, "so basically what you are telling me is that I am S.O.L.?" She responded, "yup."
