Floating Thermal Blankets
|
The advantages of a simple floating blanket are rather amazing. The most important thing a floating blanket does is to almost eliminate evaporation. By eliminating the evaporation a floating blanket can reduce the operating costs of a spa or hot tub in numerous ways.
- Heat travels through moist air much quicker than dry air and reducing the moisture between the water surface and your insulating cover will cut down greatly on heating costs....less evaporation, lower heating costs.
- Chlorine, and to some extent bromine evaporate form the water, simply dissipating into the air and bleaching out the underside of your insulating cover (or eating away the underside of some covers)....less evaporation, lower chemical costs.
- Most insulating covers eventually absorb water and get very heavy. Much of this water can come from the rising steam....less evaporation, longer cover life.
By eliminating the evaporation you'll also find that the chemical balance of your water will remain more stable thereby allowing you to go longer between water changes (oh yeah, water cost money too....more savings)
Floating Thermal BlanketsDesigned to float on the water's surface, the floating spa blanket is lightweight and durable. It protects and extends the life of your spa insulating cover while significantly reducing heat loss and chemical evaporation/consumption. Light gray in color and made of ¼" thick closed-cell polyethylene foam, these blankets are easily cut to size, and much more resistant to "bunching up" than the bubble blankets. Blankets over 5' wide consist of two pieces of foam "welded" together.

Bubble BlanketsFor a lesser expensive (and slightly inferior) floating blanket, we also offer the standard type Bubble Blanket. Looking similar to 'bubble wrap', these thick blue covers do an excellent job of eliminating evaporation. These 12 mil thick, square blankets are easily cut to size with a pair of scissors.

Floating Blanket LeashIf you use a cover lifter and a floating blanket this is something you wont know how you ever did without. The Floating Blanket Leash attaches your floating blanket to your spa cover so that when you open your cover, and remove it with the cover lifter, the floating blanket is automatically removed at the same time. No longer will you need to manually remove your floating blanket, and figure out where to put it when you use your spa. Your floating blanket will also remain clean since it will be gently hanging over your insulating cover on top of the cover lifter. Works on all types of floating blankets, bubble or foam. |
