Spa cover is excessively heavy and waterlogged, making it difficult to open and close.

Safety: A heavy cover can strain lifters and hinges. Lift carefully to avoid injury.

• Step 1 – Inspect cover skin: Look for tears, cracks, or seam separations that allow water to enter.
• Step 2 – Test weight: If the cover is significantly heavier than when new, the foam cores are likely saturated.
• Step 3 – Replace cover: Order a Catalina-sized replacement cover with proper taper and R-value. Dispose of the old cover according to local regulations.
• Step 4 – Prevent recurrence: Keep the cover clean, conditioned, and latched when not in use to extend its life.
