Lots of snow on the whirlpool cover - is that harmful?

Snow on the cover is no problem for an outdoor hot tub. Even a thick layer of snow of one meter or more is no problem, as the weight of a freshly snow-covered layer of snow is distributed very evenly over the cover and the hot tub. So you can enjoy the white splendor without any worries and enjoy the glistening snow crystals in the sun.

 

Roof avalanches

Protect your hot tub from roof avalanches. Avalanches of snow falling from the roof onto the floor or the hot tub develop extreme force. Several hundred kilograms fall in seconds onto a small spot on the ground or on the whirlpool cover. No cover, however robust, can withstand this, and it is also life-threatening for people and animals. If your roof has a tendency to form avalanches, you should talk to your trusted roofer or carpenter about possible protective measures.

How can I remove snow from the whirlpool cover?

So that you can enjoy your winter bubble, the snow must of course first be removed from the cover. 

The broom - is the first choice

The easiest way to do this is with a broom. Fluffy, light, freshly fallen snow can be easily removed with it. 

The shovel - is the second choice

If the snow has already become heavier after a few days or has compacted into a compact mass, then only the snow shovel can help. ATTENTION: A snow shovel is the quickest and most effective way to remove snow, but whirlpool covers and snow shovels are not friends. The sharp corners of the snow shovel tear large, ugly holes and dents in the artificial leather cover of the whirlpool cover. So be careful when shoveling snow from the hot tub.
