So I Bought A Hot Tub, What’s Next?

After you have gone through the process of purchasing the Arctic Spa of your dreams, with customized seats and customized jets, fully equipped with Spa Boy® and Smart pH, what more do you need to make owning a hot tub a wonderful experience? The answer is simpler than you can imagine, a hot tub cover. But not just any hot tub cover, a Mylovac™ cover specifically designed by Arctic Spas® to make your life easier.

Maintenance and Water Evaporation

A hot tub cover is an essential part of maintaining your hot tub because just as an Arctic Spas® hot tub is Engineered for the World’s Harshest Climate, the Mylovac™ cover is engineered to protect your hot tub in the world’s most diverse climates. From windy weather, where your body weight is barely grounding you from being blown away and the gust of dirt and debris blows into your hot tub, to summer heat that leaves you overstimulated but also overheats your hot tub to the point of evaporation. With a hot tub cover, you know that come rain or sunshine, your hot tub is protected.

In addition to this, the Mylovac™ cover utilizes downward sloped edges and a raised center to allow for exceptionally easy snow and rain runoff, providing a weather-proof and water repellant outer shell.

Energy Efficiency

You have just purchased this new hot tub and are now thinking of the implications of this decision on your electricity bill, a thought that only barely skimmed your mind during the purchasing process. The good news is that an Arctic Spas®  hot tub costs about a dollar to run per day, but did you know in addition to that, your Mylovac™ cover can help you save even more? The Mylovac™ cover is fully equipped with dense foam insulation that works in combination with locking straps, insulated baffle, and protective wind flaps to seal warmth in, lowering running costs and preventing heat loss. So not only does it provide a covering for your spa, it also decreases the energy consumption of your spa making it the most sustainable and economical choice for your hot tub.

Why Buy a Mylovac™ Cover?

While there are many different hot tub covers on the market right now, the Mylovac™ stands out the most with its tapered vacuum-sealing design, extremely high thermal resistance, longevity, custom-fit build, and relatively lightweight construction.

Tapered Vacuum-Sealed Design 

With a traditional hot tub cover, over time the cover absorbs a lot of moisture

which can lead to molding, loss of insulation and can get heavy. However with the Mylovac™ cover, because of the vacuum-sealed design, over time it stays relatively the same weight and keeps its high insulation function while also reducing water absorption allowing you to use your cover for years to come. By utilizing durable materials, Mylovac™ completely prevents sagging, molding, or collapsing of your hot tub cover. The dense foam and metal ring offer integral support for thousands of pounds, making heavy snow, rain, or weight unproblematic.

Insulation and Longevity

The Mylovac™ is made with an extremly high thermal resistance which allows it to retain heat better, leading to better energy efficiency. And as a result of the vacuum-sealed design, the cover is known to last an average of 7 years, which means you are saving on energy as well as replacement costs on your cover.

Custom-Fit Build

With Arctic Spas® being the leading pioneer in harsh climate design, the Mylovac™ cover takes it a step further as it provides covers in different shapes, sizes and colors. What better way to care for your hot tub than by purchasing a cover that fits your hot tub perfectly? This makes sure that your hot tub is protected and leaves no chance for heat to escape or for debris to enter which are risks that exist with an ill-fitting cover.

An integral part of owning a hot tub is knowing how to maintain it, and a hot tub cover is one of the easiest ways to do that. It saves you time, money, and effort — and the most underrated reason of all? It keeps the bird poop out in the summer.
