Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
Why is it important to buy a spa cover as close as possible to the location in which the cover will be used?
Answer:
Covers are made to stand up to the local climate demands in which it is being used, and you can have it repaired easily, should you have a problem later.

Question:
What are the important things to look for in a Spa Cover?
Answer:
The 4 most important parts of the Spa Cover are:

• The outer skin should be heavy marine grade vinyl tested for outdoor use.
•  The interior insulation should accommodate the climate’s demands year round.
• The backing should release water to prevent water retention and eliminate heavy weight problems for consumers.
• The synthetic threads should hold up to the freeze and thaw cycles.

Question:
Will my COT Spa Cover get heavy like my old cover?
Answer:
Cot Spa Covers use a continuous drip backing material that allows steam to be converted to water and recycled back into the spa, rather than absorbed by the foam.  COT covers stay lightweight much longer than other covers.

Question:
How is the foam protected from water?
Answer:
The foam is sealed in 6mm thick polyethylene, a thick grade of clear plastic, keeping the foam drier and lightweight for years to come.

Question:
Is it important to have steel in the hinge of the cover?
Answer:
Yes.  The hinge is the most vulnerable part of the spa cover, therefore, the steel is a very critical part.  We use 4” galvanized steel to reinforce the hinge along with synthetic threads to sew. Water drains from the top and bottom of the Spa Cover.  We use a close mesh that does not hold water.

Question:
Does COT Spa Covers have a warranty?
Answer:
We offer a 3 or 5 year limited warranty against manufacturer defects and it is one of the best warrantees in the industry to date.
