Okay, so maybe you’re wondering what a R-Value is anyway. R-Ratings score how a material resists the flow of heat. For hot tub and swim spa covers, the R-Value indicates how well the cover will contain the heat of your spa. When comparing End2End Swim Spa Covers to a three-inch foam hot tub cover (R-19 rating) and a five-inch foam cover (R-30 rating) in a climate controlled test chamber, End2End out-performed them both.
End2End Swim Spa Covers use a full layer of Radiant Barrier that reflects infrared heat waves back into the swim spa water. This prevents radiant heat loss, saving swim spa owners quite a bit of money (and effort) over time.
Also, because End2End Swim Spa Covers are all one piece with no seams or sections – unlike a conventional hot tub cover – convective heat vapor and air are locked in and doesn’t escape through any cracks or crevices. To take full advantage of the heat locking design of End2End Swim Spa Covers, the covers end-straps must be pulled tightly and latched down to ensure a proper heat seal and the domed effect to function properly. As you put the cover in position, the reinforced end-straps are the best way to maneuver it so that you don’t damage the cover over time. It’s because of the radiant barrier and seamless design that End2End Swim Spa Covers out-perform conventional swim spa covers and save consumers time and money, and why Pool Tech Plus is proud to offer them.
