Possible Causes
Torn or failed vapor barrier around foam, Cracked cover skin allowing water ingress, Age-related deterioration of Bullfrog cover
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use proper lifting technique to avoid injury; a waterlogged cover can be very heavy.
- Inspect cover skin: Look for tears, cracks, or open seams in the vinyl cover that would allow water in.
- Check vapor barrier: If you unzip the cover (if possible), inspect the plastic vapor barrier around the foam. If it is torn, the foam will absorb water.
- Replace cover: Waterlogged foam cannot be effectively dried. Order a replacement Bullfrog spa cover sized for your model.
- Install and maintain: Install the new cover and use a cover lifter to reduce stress. Clean and condition the vinyl regularly to extend its life.
