Extend the life of your spa cover with this weatherproof, lightweight cap designed for UK conditions.
💧 Product Overview
The Pure-Spa Cover Cap is a heavy-duty protective layer designed to shield your existing hot tub hard cover from the elements.

Measuring 210 x 210 x 30 cm, this square cover cap is ideal for hot tubs with covers up to approximately 200 x 200 cm.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a cover cap and a spa cover? A: A spa cover (also called a hard cover) is the insulated foam-core cover that sits directly on your hot tub to retain heat and provide safety. A cover cap is an additional protective layer that sits on top of your hard cover to protect it from weather damage, UV exposure, and debris, thereby extending the lifespan of your more expensive hard cover.
Q: Do I still need my hard spa cover if I buy this cover cap? A: Yes, absolutely. The cover cap is designed to protect your existing hard cover, not replace it. You need a foam safety cover underneath for insulation, heat retention, and safety. The cover cap simply provides additional protection on top.
Q: What size hot tub will this cover cap fit? A: The COV-12279 (210 x 210 x 30 cm) is suitable for hot tubs with hard covers measuring up to approximately 200 x 200 cm. The elastic corners and drawstring will accommodate slight variations in size.
Q: Will this cover cap stay on in windy conditions? A: Yes, the Pure-Spa Cover Cap features multiple securing mechanisms including elastic corners, a drawstring closure, hook-and-loop fastening, and a D-Ring belt system. When properly secured, it should remain in place even during British storms.
Q: Is this cover cap waterproof? A: Yes, the fabric is 100% waterproof and will repel rain, snow, and moisture to keep your hard cover dry and protected.
Q: Can I use this cover cap with a cover lifter? A: The cover cap is designed to be removed before you use your cover lifter. Due to its lightweight design, it can be quickly taken off and set aside each time you use your spa, then replaced afterwards.
Q: How long will this cover cap last? A: Please refer to manufacturer documentation for expected lifespan. Lifespan will vary depending on usage, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Regular cleaning and proper storage when not in use will help extend its useful life.
Q: What colour options are available? A: The Pure-Spa Cover Cap (Square) COV-12279 is available in black.
Q: What if my spa cover is larger than 200 x 200 cm? A: If your hard cover is larger than 200 x 200 cm, consider the larger 230 x 230 x 30 cm option (COV-12280) for proper coverage.
