For most basic foam core spa covers, you can expect a useful working life of about 3-8 years. Many factors affect how long a spa covers lasts – everything from amount of sunlight and rain slowly wearing away stitching that holds the vinyl together to snow loads and chemicals deteriorating the materials. What usually happens is that accumulated water inside the foam makes the cover heavier and heavier, which also leads to damage on the seams and stitching. In any event, your foam spa cover WILL NOT last a lifetime. Clean it regularly, both the top and underside, remove it with care and do not drag it across rough surface or sit or stand on it, and it will last as long as possible. It’s also a good idea to keep the cover off when you shock your water for about 1 hour or so, since the oxidizing chemicals can do long term damage to the cover.
