Ice Under Cover


Hotsprung

Recommended Posts

I Have a 3 mth old Hotspring Sovereign. We are in the middle of the first cold snap of the winter (nothing by US standards, but still cold.

I noticed yesterday that there is frozen water under the vinyl cover. Its around the top seam and extends about 3" from the seam.

I've been studiously applying 303 protectant as recommended and I'm reasonably sure the water hasn't got into the insulation.

Is this normal?

I'm having a tough time understanding where the frozen water is. Is it icycles hanging from the cover skirt? Can you take a photo?

That's normal when on top and indicates that the cover is doing a very good job at insulating the spa.

Roger, It's directly under the top layer of vinyl, water has seeped through the cover stitching. It's not icycles!

Thanks anyway
