I am in need of a new cover (8' square). I have had several of the std. "short term" covers over the years and found the option of SPACAP cover while searching online. I couldn't find much feedback from owners of this cover online so...
Owners please tell me of your experience with this SpaCap cover.
Tell me which options do you have on your cover (the 3rd bladder and/or the Reflective Insulation).

Please let me know why you would or would not recommend this cover based on your experience.

If I buy it, I'm thinking I would use my cover lifter so it would have a place to go when open, rather, than lay the cover on the deck or hang from the tub... would this work or what do you do? Any other tips?

Most of the older posts regarding the SPACAP cover were from new owners of the cover who didn't have it for a long period of time to evaluate...

Please let me know the great, good, bad and ugly... I want to make an informed decision.

Thanks!

One bad apple spoils the.... ?

I contacted Jeff Sliger of Another Company who makes the spacap.
I said I was interested in his cover but, due to the unique nature of his cap I was a little nervous. I asked him if I could see a copy of his R value testing. Or, was there customer near me that I could ask about it.

His response was that he would not give me any references and "Did you ask any hard cover dealers for customer references? No, because you know from personal experience they don't work." I replied , that I did in fact ask my spa maker for references on a spa cover with a radiant barrier. He gladly gave me a number of them.

I then , again, asked Jeff Sliger for a copy of their R-Value testing. Had he provided it and it verified his claims, I would have purchased it. His claims seem to be very high for just plain air. It contradicts all the information I found on R values for dead air spaces.

Jeff Sliger never replied. Very rude. This ticked me off a bit. At least tell me, NO you're not going to send it. Of course this peaked my curious nature and I did a little searching.

Spacap.com/ Another Company/ Owner Jeff Slinger have an unsatisfactor rating with the Better Business Bureau of Western Washington.http://www.oregonandwesternwa.bbb.org/c ... d=13025291

A further patent search showed the inventor of spacap to be Kingston; James E and the assignee to be Sliger.

This is my experience with this company. I won't do business with them. Thanks to the forum for a heads up.
