Water-resistant & lightweight
AirLoc™ panels have no foam core to soak up water, so the cover weighs the same out of the box and years later: 35–40 lb, depending on size.

Watch it open and close on a cover lifter
The AIRCAP 1™ comes in six sizes covering square spas from 77" to 94". Each size is built to overhang its band slightly — that is how a spa cover is meant to sit — so the Small, which fits cabinets 83"–85", covers the Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum)'s 84" x 84" shell with the right overhang.
At 84" the Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum) sits mid-band in the Small's 83"–85" range, 1" off the bottom and 1" off the top. Within Hydropool Hot Tubs, the Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum) shares that 84" x 84" cabinet with Self-Cleaning 655 Gold (695 Gold), Self-Cleaning 679 Gold (670 Gold) and Self-Cleaning 679 Platinum (670 Platinum) — same footprint, same cover. The 20 Hydropool Hot Tubs models we fit sit on 7 footprints, and the Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum) is on number 2 of 7 from the smallest; together they span 5 of the six AIRCAP 1 sizes.
Cabinet dimensions can change between model years. Before ordering, measure your Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum) at its widest point across the top, in both directions, including any acrylic lip that overhangs the cabinet — the SureFit™ guide walks through it in two measurements. If a figure you have found elsewhere is larger than ours, an overhanging lip is the usual reason. If your spa measures between two sizes, round up.
Every spa in our catalogue that measures 84" x 84" is on one page: hot tubs that take an 84" × 84" cover — the same AIRCAP 1™ Small, at the same price.
Dimensions are taken from the Hydropool model pages, the 2026 Serenity technical specifications, the 2023 Signature collection specifications and drawings, and Hydropool’s 2013 specification sheets for the earlier models (September and October 2026). We publish the figure the maker publishes, and we say so — if your own tape disagrees with it, trust the tape and measure in two steps.
Instead of a rigid foam core wrapped in vinyl, the AIRCAP 1™ uses welded drop-stitch construction: a sealed air chamber with no foam to absorb water, so it does not become the waterlogged two-person lift that ends most foam covers. More on how it insulates, how it holds up, and why it is foam-free — or estimate what your current foam cover weighs.
What customers are saying
Awesome product, my kids don’t complain about the cover anymore…
Best $$ I ever spent!
What this company has created in terms of an original and revolutionary product is nothing short of amazing.
For a reasonable price, I can cover my spa with a top that won’t get musty.
Nice and lightweight
…set up was super easy and took about 15 min total.
Installation was a breeze and we love it already!
Great customer service still matters, and frankly, not enough companies deliver it anymore. This company does, and that deserves recognition.
Do not wait to buy one.
Thoughtfully engineered
Three practical reasons to rethink your next hot tub cover.
AirLoc™ panels have no foam core to soak up water, so the cover weighs the same out of the box and years later: 35–40 lb, depending on size.
Learn about water resistanceThe sealed AirLoc™ air core has nothing in it to absorb water, so its insulation stays consistent for the life of the cover.

The Hydropool Hot Tubs Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum) takes the AIRCAP 1 Small, which fits square hot tubs measuring 83"–85" across. The Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum)'s cabinet measures 84" x 84", inside that band. Measure your spa side to side across the top of the cabinet to confirm before ordering.
Yes — the Self-Cleaning 655 Platinum (695 Platinum)'s 84" x 84" square cabinet falls in the AIRCAP 1 Small's 83"–85" range, and the ZipTech modular skirt system ships with three skirt lengths so the drop over the cabinet adjusts without a custom order. Cabinet sizes can change between model years, so confirm with two quick measurements.
The AIRCAP 1 costs $1,195 in every size, including the pump, three ZipTech skirt lengths, and tie-down straps, with free US shipping and 30-day returns. Unlike a foam cover it has no foam core to waterlog, so it stays at its original 35–40 lb weight for life.
The AIRCAP 1 Small weighs 35–40 lb and keeps that weight permanently — its sealed drop-stitch air core cannot absorb water. A foam cover starts at 40–75 lb and gains weight as the foam saturates.
