The AIRCAP 1™ Small is a foam-free replacement hot tub cover for square spas that measure 83" to 85" on the longer side (an 84" x 84" spa, say); up to 1" between sides still counts as square. No foam core: welded drop-stitch air construction with AirLoc™ insulation gives a 35 to 40 lb cover that never absorbs water and stays that weight for life; one person can handle it. Color Deep Grey™. Engineered to comply with ASTM F1346-23. Not for rectangular, round or oversize spas.

Of the 1073 models across 60 brands on the Spa Fitter, 340 models from 50 brands take the Small, roughly one in three, so it is worth checking your model there before you measure; the longer side across the top decides it. Master Spas' TS 7.2, Balance 7 and LSX 700, Superior Wellness' Aqua Solus Harmony and Eden, Clearwater Spas' Liberty Lake and Myrtle Beach, Cal Spas' Platinum Pismo and Escape Baja, Artesian Spas' Island Spas Antigua and South Seas 748L, and Jacuzzi's J-235, J-245, J-335, J-345, J-435 and J-445 all measure 84"; Superior Wellness' Platinum Sicily and Santorini are 83".

Take the longer side of the spa. Anything from 83" to 85" is a Small, and an 85" x 84" shell is a Small too. Round up when the longer side falls between two sizes: 85.5" takes the Medium. The cover is built to overhang its band slightly at every measurement in it, which is how a cover is meant to sit, so an 85" spa does not step up to the Medium. The box holds the cover, three Ziptech™ modular skirt sizes (zip on the one that fits the cabinet), the pump and four keyed locking tie-down straps, and one person can unpack, inflate and fit this lightweight hot tub cover.

The big US foam-cover sellers' own pages put custom foam covers at 35 to 55 lb dry, list them as final sale at several of those sellers, name the cover getting heavy as the first sign of failure, and at their low tier build the core from 1 lb base foam. With the AIRCAP 1 the insulation is air held inside welded drop-stitch panels, inflated with the included pump, so there is no core to saturate and it is a hot tub cover that doesn't absorb water. It does not gain weight of its own: the cover you lift in the first season is the same weight in year three.

This foam-free hot tub cover is $1,195 with free shipping to all 50 US states; it ships in 1 to 2 business days. 30-day returns, no restocking fee (you pay return shipping); 3-year limited warranty. Look up your model on the Spa Fitter, the brand-by-brand fit index on thrmltech.com, or measure with the SureFit™ guide on the same site. Available in over 100 authorized hot tub showrooms across 32 states.

AIRCAP 1™ Small FAQ

What size hot tub does the AIRCAP 1™ Small fit?

The AIRCAP 1™ Small fits square hot tubs measuring 83"-85" across the top. Measure your spa side to side across the top of the cabinet. If your measurement falls between two sizes, round up — an oversized cover overhangs slightly, which is how a spa cover is meant to sit, while an undersized one will not seal along the edges.

Does the AIRCAP 1 absorb water like a foam cover?

No. The AIRCAP 1 uses an AirLoc air-cell core rather than foam, so it does not absorb water. It will not gain weight or lose insulating value over time the way a waterlogged foam cover does, which is the usual reason a spa cover has to be replaced.

How much does the AIRCAP 1 weigh?

35–40 lb depending on the size, and it stays at that weight: the AirLoc air core cannot absorb water, so there is nothing inside to get heavier. Foam-cover sellers list new covers at 35–55 lb dry, and a waterlogged one is commonly reported at 100 lb or more.

How much does the AIRCAP 1 cost?

The AIRCAP 1 costs $1,195 in every size, including the pump, three Ziptech skirt depths, and tie-down straps. A foam cover typically runs $400–700 and needs replacing every 3–5 years; the AIRCAP 1 has no foam to waterlog.

Does the AIRCAP 1 ship free?

Yes. Shipping is free to all 50 U.S. states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Orders ship in 1–2 business days and typically arrive 3–5 business days after that; Alaska and Hawaii can take a little longer.

Do I need to measure the corner radius of my hot tub?

No. Rigid foam covers need a corner radius; the AIRCAP 1 does not. Two straight measurements across the top of the spa are all that is required.

What warranty comes with the AIRCAP 1?

Three years, or 36 months, from the date of delivery to the original purchaser, against defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

Can I return the cover if it does not fit?

Yes. Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in like-new condition with all original parts included. There is no restocking fee. You are responsible for return shipping; if you request a prepaid label the cost is deducted from your refund. Refunds are normally processed within seven business days of the return arriving. Bought from an authorized retailer? That retailer's return policy applies.

How do I know which AIRCAP 1 size fits my brand of hot tub?

Look your spa up in the Spa Fitter, which lists the current models of every major manufacturer with the AIRCAP 1 size each one takes. If your model is not listed, the SureFit guide walks through the two measurements needed for any hot tub.

Awesome product, my kids don't complain about the cover anymore it fits and looks great, set up was super easy and took about 15 min total. Packaging was also great did not need a sharp object to release the AIRCAP and there was no Styrofoam.

My old foam cover had become completely waterlogged and I was tired of buying a new cover every couple years. I purchased the thrml. AIRCAP and the difference is night and day. Super lightweight, will never get waterlogged, and it looks great!

Great customer service still matters, and frankly, not enough companies deliver it anymore\. This company does, and that deserves recognition\.

Nice and lightweight

When I saw this online, I was so excited. For a reasonable price, I can cover my spa with a top that won't get musty. It stays light and easy to move, instead of getting waterlogged and heavy. It looks clean and it fits well. Installation was a breeze and we love it already!

It is incredibly rare these days to experience customer service that actually cares, that responds immediately and goes the extra mile to care for the customer. What this company has created in terms of an original and revolutionary product is nothing short of amazing. Do not wait to buy one. And if you need help, they'll be there every step of the way.

Great fabric. Loved the quick delivery
