Floating Spa Cover

Benefits of Floating Spa Covers

Floating spa covers add a lightweight thermal layer that sits directly on the water’s surface under your hard cover. This addition helps reduce evaporation, support heat retention, make day-to-day spa upkeep easier and can help reduce energy waste over time.

• Evaporation: It limits evaporation, which can mean less water loss, less heat loss, and less chemical depletion. By limiting evaporation, you can help keep water levels steadier between top-offs.
• Efficiency: This supports water temperature and energy efficiency by reducing heat loss under the hard cover.
• Protection: It adds a protective layer under the cover to help guard against chemical wear and direct water exposure.

How Floating Spa Covers Work

Floating spa covers work by creating a crucial barrier between the spa water and the air. This barrier is the key to maintaining your spa’s temperature and water quality. The cover helps retain heat by reducing heat loss from the water’s surface, which can reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain temperature. Additionally, a floating cover helps reduce water evaporation. By minimizing evaporation, you conserve water and reduce the amount of chemicals needed to maintain your spa’s water chemistry. Our floating covers are designed to complement our traditional hot tub covers for maximum efficiency. Used under your hard cover, a floating blanket adds an extra insulating layer between soaks.

Which Floating Spa Cover Should You Choose?

Choosing the right floating spa cover depends on your specific needs and budget. We offer two floating spa cover options—our lightweight Solar Blanket 7×7 and our premium foam Thermal Blanket 7 Ft—so you can choose the level of insulation and handling you prefer.

For Budget-Friendly Evaporation Control

A solar blanket uses a lightweight bubble-cell design to help retain heat, reduce evaporation, and support energy efficiency—while staying easy to handle and remove.

For Stronger Insulation + Cover Protection

Our premium foam thermal blanket floats beneath your hard cover to form a solid thermal barrier that preserves heat, minimizes energy loss, and helps guard your cover against chemical wear. It comes in a 7′×7′ size and can be cut to fit smaller spas as needed.

Floating Spa Cover Installation & Setup Guide

Installing your new floating spa cover is a straightforward process that requires no special tools. These simple steps will have your cover in place and working for you in no time at all:

1. Prepare: Unpack your new floating spa cover and lay it out flat to allow it to settle.
2. Position: Carefully place the cover directly on the surface of your spa’s water, ensuring it is centered.
3. Trim: If needed, the 7′×7′ Thermal Blanket can be cut to smaller sizes for a better fit.

To make your spa experience even more convenient, we suggest pairing your setup with a cover lifter. A cover lifter will make opening and closing your hard cover easier and will reduce strain on both you and your cover during daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do Floating Hot Tub Covers Work?

Yes. Floating spa blankets help reduce heat loss and evaporation by sitting directly on the water’s surface under your hard cover.

Do I Still Need My Regular Hard Cover if I Use a Floating Spa Cover?

Yes, you should always use a floating cover in conjunction with your regular hard cover. A floating cover is designed to be an extra insulating layer and is not a replacement for the safety and structural protection that a hard cover provides.

What’s the Difference Between a Solar Blanket and a Thermal Blanket?

A solar blanket is a lightweight, bubble-style cover that primarily works to reduce evaporation and retain heat using a bubble-cell design. A thermal blanket is a thicker and denser option, providing superior insulation and heat retention for greater energy savings.

How Do I Choose the Right Size Floating Spa Cover for My Hot Tub?

For a floating spa cover, focus on the water surface area it will sit on. If you need to size down, our 7′×7′ Thermal Blanket can be cut to fit smaller spas.
