Some people may love using a hot tub during rain, sitting in the warm water, feeling the rain on your head. But others are worried about rainwater pooling in their hot tub, also when it is not used. Luckily there are several solutions how to stop this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I stop rain pooling in my hot tub?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stop rain from pooling in your hot tub, you must use a good quality water-resistant hot tub cover. Such a cover will ensure that no rain will find its way to the water in the hot tub. If you want to stop rain from entering your hot tub when using it, you need to cover it. Or place it in a covered location.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, I will further explain what to do to stop rain pooling in your hot tub. Some other questions will be answered, like what to do if your hot tub cover gets waterlogged and how to maintain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I stop rain pooling in my hot tub?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To stop your tub from getting rain pooled, you need to use a durable hot tub cover along with other essential accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to keep the rainwater off your pool is to have a hot tub cover, umbrella, and cover lifter. Usually, a good-quality hot tub will come with an efficient cover. Cover the hot tub whenever you don't use the tub. Make sure that the straps of the cover are fastened. The tub cover also protects your hot tub from harsh sun rays and snow. Ideally, a durable tub cover will be made of weather-resistant materials like heavy-duty vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a roof over your hot tub or installing the tub under a gazebo will also avoid rainwater pooling in your tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Use a water-resistant Hot Tub Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In cheaper inflatable tubs, the spa cover is often not water-resistant and only keeps debris out. In such cases, you will see that an outdoor tub will increase water levels after rain. It is because those covers are letting the rainwater slowly seep into the tub. To avoid this, you need to stuff it with a thick water-resistant foam or other water-resistant material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hot tub without an efficiently insulating cover also consumes more electricity because the heat loss will be bigger. Without a cover, you'll end up cleaning and draining the water every time, especially during rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Cover your hot tub<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another method to stop rain pooling in your hot tub is by adding a cover. You can add a fixed roof above your hot tub that protects it from rain, snow, and debris. If needed, you can add a sidewall to protect it from the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another solution is to use a flexible cover that you hand between poles. Ensure that the cover you use is really waterproof, as some of them are more to keep the sun out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last solution I want to mention is to place the hot tub in a covered location. This can be on your deck, or other place with a roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Use the hot tub filter twice a day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ensure to run your filter twice a day, at least for one hour, if your outdoor tub is taking too much rain and your tub cover is not water-resistant. Do it frequently to eliminate any contaminants or debris brought into the tub by rainwater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is my hot tub cover filling up with water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your hot tub cover will fill with water if it is not water-resistant or damaged and has a leak or crack. Hot tub covers usually become heavy because the foam gets waterlogged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your tub cover may fill with water in certain other instances too. In certain spas which come with the waterfall feature, water may creep into the tub cover, eventually leading to waterlogging. Tub covers with a small tear underneath may get water-soaked from the steam and moisture coming from the hot water in the tub when it is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
