Spa Covers Going Green?
All this talk about going green, a big part of saving the environment is to not create more waste that will just end up clogging our land fills. Follow me on this for a minute... There are 10 million spa owners in the USA, and each one of them uses a typical rigid foam spa cover on their hot tub. For the sake of this demonstration each foam cover is only two inches thick and every spa is eight feet by eight feet. That would mean each spa cover contained about 10.666 cubic feet of foam per spa cover. For the rest of this example we will use 10.5 cubic feet per cover.
If each cover on every spa becomes saturated within two years and needs to be replaced that would mean that we would be adding 52.5 million cubic feet of waste to our landfills in just spa covers every year.
If it takes two and a half covers worth of foam to make up one cubic yard that translates to 4 million cubic yards of waste added to our land fills every two years just in spa covers.
If there are 11 million Cubic yards of stone in the Great Pyramid at Giza, we are adding enough foam to build a duplicate of it to our landfills just from used spa covers every six years conservatively. There are four and a half million cubic yards of concrete in Hoover Dam. We could build a two lane highway of discarded foam filled spa covers from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida every two years.
In case you have not noticed most foam filled spa covers are not two inches thick anymore. If all those old foam covers were four inches thick all these calculations would be double.
But we are just being conservative so we want to stick with two inches thick. If we ripped the covers in half and laid those pieces end to end we could circle the earth at the equator on used spa covers every two years.
Heck with parking lots, in a few years we could pave the entire planet with foam just from saturated foam spa covers from the USA alone.
So what is the solution? Well shop for a better spa cover. There are options available on the internet that your local spa dealer probably does not offer. You do not have to quit using your spa to save us. You just need to get a Spa Cover that does not use foam to insulate. There would be two major advantages to doing so. First the spa cover that did not use rigid foam to insulate would last longer. Since what always fails in the typical spa cover is the foam, either breaking or getting so saturated that you cannot lift it, a spa cover that did not use foam would tend to last longer.
Second, if the new type of spa cover does not use rigid foam it will also be a lot more friendly to the environment when it does come time to discard it. Less trash, less waste, less land fill, not that is what going green is all about.

Vehicle Covers A Good Choice
Making the choice to get a vehicle cover is a good plan, there are many reasons to cover your vehicles, I will break down these reasons in this article. In general when you buy a vehicle cover for your car, truck, motorcycle, boat or other RV or ATV you are making a wise decision to protect your asset and the value of the vehicle. There are many cover company's out there today so choosing the right cover from the right company can be hard sometimes. I will also talk about how to find the right cover and company to buy your vehicle cover from.
Why is buying a vehicle cover a good idea? First you are protecting your vehicles value, next you are helping keep its resale or trade-in value and last of all you are keeping your vehicle looking the best it can by keeping it cleaner, having to wax and wash it less, and helping to keep all those dings and scratches away.
When you decided to look for a cover for your vehicle, the first thing to consider is where you will be covering this vehicle. Will it be inside or outside or even both. What is your location, is it mostly sunny or rainy or both. If you are covering your vehicle in your garage or under a carport you will have to decide if you need a light weight cover or a three or four layer cover that will also help when something rubs or bumps up against your vehicle. If under a carport you may have rain coming in on your vehicle. This scenario would require a waterproof cover. Some of you will have your vehicle outside all the time, the covers to be used for outside protection have UV and waterproof treatments to make them stand up to the harsh environmental conditions, therefore, the dust cover is not the best choice for this.
Some of you will be living in areas that have heavy winters to contend with. The three and four layer covers will be needed for this. They work both inside and outside and are treated to withstand all that mother nature can throw at it whether it's sun, rain, snow or ice. Some of you will be in the Southern part of the country where there is intense sunshine as well as rain to deal with. The Tyvek cover is light weight and white in color to reflect the sun and heat. It is also water resistant. Then there is the three layer waterproof covers which will work well here but if you have a vehicle that is new or just repainted or maybe a collector vehicle you will want the four layer cover with the fleece lining for total protection of your vehicles finish. Something to note is if you have just repainted your vehicle you will want to wait at least three months until the finish has hardened before using a cover.
All of the vehicle covers can be used inside and out, but some of the light weight covers are best used inside only with light outdoor use. The warranty will not cover a dust cover for outside use. This cover will fall apart after a short time in the sun, weather or high winds. These dust covers state that they are for inside use. The warranty for the three and four layer covers including the waterproof covers will cover their use outside. So make the right choice of use and you will have the proper protection. The different types of vehicle covers come with warranties of different lengths, so make sure you check the warranty before you buy.
Choosing the right company is up to you but there is a few things you should look for. You can find these cover suppliers in retail stores or on the Internet. I know that the suppliers on the Internet have a larger selection to choose from and they will have more information about their covers then just looking at a box in your retail store. The one advantage the retail store has is if you want to return the cover you just take it back to the store you bought it at, whereas if you buy a cover over the Internet and its not right you will have to pay the shipping to return it. Most of the Internet sites have a 30 day money back guaranty. And if you have a warranty return you will have to pay the return shipping even if you bought it at the retail store. If you are computer savvy that is the way to look for a vehicle cover. You will have all the resources to answer all your questions about the covers either by e-mail or using the phone. Most company's have toll free numbers or online help. If you take the time to check your order with the company to make sure it is the right cover for you, you won't have to worry about returning it.

Abbey Road (Remastered) $9.32 The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest i... |
