4. Steam Loss / Venting Around Spa Cover
a. It is normal to see an occasional burst of steam
from around the cover due to pressure releasing
from a high to low area. However heat loss can be
greatly impacted by use of the spa
i. Control valves should be turned off when
getting out of the spa in a cool climate.
1. Air injects from the cabinet and enters into
the water area. That air not only will cool
the cabinet area, but will also greatly in-
crease the pressure under the cover and
cause more steam to release.
ii. Surfaces are different for all spas, and cov-
ers may provide a better seal is spun differently.
1. If the folding seam goes over the controller
area, often more steam will be able to es-
cape. Try to position the cover so that the
fold seam goes over the wider top surface
areas on the adjacent sides.
Proper Spa Cover Use
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
• Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining
your set temperature.
• Covering your spa will protect your spa’s finish
from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
• You are required to keep the spa covered to main-
tain warranty coverage.
• Covering your spa helps prevent children from
drowning in the spa. See the photo for instructions
on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock
the cover.
• In addition, while a soft spa cover is rigid, it is not
designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a
safety precaution and to preserve the life of your
cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor
should you place objects of any kind on top of it.
