When Should You Replace Your Hot Tub Cover?

Sure, your hot tub cover is attractive. But it’s so much more than a spa accessory.

It holds a very important job and that’s helping keep your hot tub clean and costs low by keeping the heat in.

The cover also prevents excess evaporation, helping you conserve water. It prevents debris and objects that could clog the hot tub filters from falling into the spa. Maintaining the cover in good condition is one of the easiest things you can do to keep your spa operating at its very best.

Yet, sometimes it’s time to replace the cover. In this article, we answer the question, “When should you replace your hot tub cover?” (more…)

The Benefits of Salt Water Hot Tubs

Did you know salt water hot tubs exist? They do, and we have them at Ultra Modern! Surprise your family with very own new spa!

You’ll find that these spas are easier for you to maintain than hot tubs using traditional chlorine sanitization. What’s more, they’re more relaxing because you spend less time maintaining your hot tub.

In this article, we look at the benefits of salt water hot tubs.

Don’t Drain Your Above Ground Pool for Winter

Do you own a Doughboy above ground pool? Have you ever heard that you shouldn’t drain your above ground pool before you get ready to close for the winter? Well, it turns out you don’t want to drain your above ground pool for winter. Why?

Let’s talk about the reasons you shouldn’t drain your above ground pool before you close it.

Keep Damage Your Pool

You don’t want to drain your above ground pool because you want to keep it structurally sound.

If you drained, and it sat empty in your backyard, it would fill with dirt and debris. It would also be filled with snow and ice.

Worse yet, it’s very expensive and time-consuming to refill and then chemically balance your pool in the spring if you have to refill the whole thing!

How to Close It

You can find all the instructions for closing your above ground pool on our website.

Use Air Pillows

Air pillows, also found at Ultra Modern, are another must-have accessory for closing your above ground pool!

Before you put your winter cover on, you want to put an air pillow in the center of your pool. Then, when the water freezes and expands, you won’t harm your pool wall, the cover, or the liner.

Your air pillow helps absorb the expansion of the water, keeping your above ground pool safe.

Use Water Bags

Water bags are a cost-effective and easy way to hold down the pool cover on your above ground pool. You can find them at any of our three stores.

Water bags can withstand the cold, and you can trust that they’ll secure your pool cover all winter!
