SAFETY HARD COVER
When a hot tub is uncovered, over 90% of heat is lost from the
water surface. This evapora on also affects the chemical
balance and could create humidity problems indoors.
HYDROPOOL Safety Hard Covers are engineered for maximum
thermal efficiency and appearance. They are hinged in the
middle for easier handling, and the zip fastener allows the
tapered foam inserts to be changed if damaged. The skirt of the
safety hard cover hugs the lip of the hot tub for a ght fit. The
locks, with one part fastened to the deck or skirt, prevent small
children or animals from entering the hot tub.
Do not drag the safety hard cover across the hot tub or
decking. Standing on the hardcover could cause the tapered
foam inserts to crack, which will lead to water absorp on.
NEVER LEAN OR STAND ON YOUR HARDCOVER.
The cover should be cleaned at least twice a year with a vinyl
moisturizer and protector.
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THE SAFETY HARDCOVER IS IN PLACE
AND LOCKED WHENEVER THE HOT TUB IS NOT BEING USED.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR CRACKING OF
THE ACRYLIC SURFACE NOT COVERED UNDER THE
WARRANTY.
