Traditional hot tub covers often fall short when it comes to retaining heat. Over time, foam covers absorb water, become heavy, and lose their insulating power — leading to higher energy bills.
The patented AIRCAP 1™ hot tub cover has no foam core at all. Engineered with our AirLoc™ heat-welded drop-stitch technology, it insulates with sealed, still air that has nothing to soak up, so it doesn't lose insulation the way a waterlogged foam cover does.
- 0%Water absorbed by the core — a foam cover gains weight and loses insulation as it soaks
- 5–10+ yearsExpected life with proper care, with no foam core to take on water
- 3"Insulating AIRCAP 1™ core
How the AIRCAP 1™ outperforms traditional covers
1. Maximum Heat Retention
- Drop-stitch construction: unlike foam, our high-pressure woven core resists waterlogging and maintains its insulating properties for years.
- All-weather performance: our AirLoc™ airtight design keeps the air core sealed, so rain and steam have no foam to soak into.
2. Efficient
- Efficient insulation: less heat escapes, so your hot tub maintains your desired temperature more efficiently — meaning lower costs and more relaxing.
- Consistent warmth: enjoy spontaneous soaks without the frustration of water-temp spikes.
3. Value Over Time
- Lower utility bills: by reducing heat loss, the AIRCAP 1™ can lower your hot tub's energy consumption compared to aging foam covers.
- Long-term value: traditional covers degrade quickly, requiring frequent (and costly) replacements. The AIRCAP 1's™ durable design means fewer replacements and more savings over the life of your spa.
Foam vs. the AIRCAP 1™ over time
| Cover type | Absorbs water? | Replacement cycle | Weight over time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional foam | Yes, over time | 3–5 years | Gains weight as it waterlogs |
| The AIRCAP 1™ | No — no foam core | 5–10+ years (expected)* | 35–40 lb for life |
*Lifespan is an expectation with proper care, not a guarantee. The AIRCAP 1™ carries a 3-year limited warranty.

The AIRCAP 1™ and dead air-space insulating
The best way to understand dead air-space insulation is to think of multi-pane windows. Dead air-space insulation is a method of trapping air between two spaces to create insulation. In practice it's difficult to achieve a completely sealed dead air space, which makes it an imperfect insulator — however, we are able to attain a dead air space within the AIRCAP 1™.
How it works
- Air is a great insulator when kept still, similar to the windows in your house.
- Engineered with our AirLoc™ advanced heat-welded drop-stitch technology.
Real-world application
- Dead air-space insulation is often used in double-wall construction.
- It's also used in storm doors and windows, where air is trapped between panes of insulated glass.
Foam covers vs. the AIRCAP 1™
Foam covers insulate best when they are new. As the foam takes on moisture, its insulating value drops and its weight climbs — which is why foam covers are typically replaced every 3–5 years. The AIRCAP 1™, designed with a 3″ core, has no foam to take on water, so it doesn't lose insulation the way a waterlogged foam cover does. With proper care it is expected to last 5–10+ years.
