Need a replacement or thinking about an upgrade? Tell us a little about your hot tub and what you're looking for. Our team will help you explore your options.
Your hot tub cover does more than keep leaves, snow and debris out. It plays an important role in keeping heat in and protecting your spa when you're not using it. But hot tub covers don't last forever.
If yours has become heavy, waterlogged, sagging, warped, cracked or difficult to lift, it may no longer be insulating and protecting your hot tub the way it should.
A completely waterlogged cover can lose an estimated 50% to 80% or more of its effective insulation, allowing more heat to escape and potentially making your hot tub work harder to maintain temperature.
Liverpool Pool & Spa is your replacement hot tub cover specialist in East Syracuse, Baldwinsville, Rome and throughout Central New York, with options for virtually every need and budget. Choose a traditional foam replacement, upgrade to the durability and convenience of SmarTop, or discover the premium automated experience of Covana.

If your traditional foam cover feels considerably heavier than it used to, it may be absorbing water. A waterlogged cover can become increasingly difficult to lift and lose insulating effectiveness.

Snow load, moisture and age can cause a cover to sag or warp. Once it stops fitting properly, it may allow more heat to escape.

Cracks, tears and deterioration aren't just cosmetic. Damage can allow moisture into a traditional foam cover and compromise its performance.

Your hot tub should be something you look forward to using. If wrestling with a heavy cover has become part of the routine, it may be time to replace or upgrade it.
If your current cover is heavy, waterlogged or simply difficult to use, this is your opportunity to find a better fit. Replace it with another traditional foam cover, upgrade to SmarTop or completely change your hot tub experience with Covana.
We’ll help you compare your options.

From traditional foam replacements to SmarTop and Covana, here's what to know when choosing your next hot tub cover.
Weight is one of the biggest clues. If your traditional foam cover has become significantly heavier or increasingly difficult to lift, the foam may be absorbing water. Sagging, warping and poor fit can also indicate it's time for replacement.
