Common Questions
Which material should I choose?
If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.
What is the most common material?
The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.
How strong are the covers?
18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.
My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?
The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.
Common Questions
Cold Plunge Insulated Covers – Frequently Asked Questions
What are Cold Plunge Insulated Covers used for?
They are protective, thermal covers made-to-order for ice baths and cold plunge tubs. Our insulated covers help retain water temperature, cut down on ice or energy use, and shield your plunge from debris, dust, rain, and UV—indoors or outdoors.
How much do they help with temperature retention?
The R3 insulated batting reduces heat gain in warm spaces and heat loss in cold spaces, slowing temperature swing. Most users see fewer top-ups of ice and improved chiller efficiency. For higher performance environments, we can build higher R-value options on request.
What materials are available for Cold Plunge covers?
Choose between 12oz vinyl skins or 700D polyester skins (both with R3 insulation). Vinyl has a rubber-like feel, wipes clean easily, and excels outdoors. Polyester has a fabric-like feel, is lighter, and is great indoors or in mild outdoor conditions.
Are the covers waterproof and UV resistant?
Vinyl insulated covers are waterproof and provide UV, wind, and snow protection for outdoor use. Polyester insulated covers are water resistant and best for indoor or mild outdoor environments. Both materials resist common splash exposure from chlorine or saltwater.
How thick are the covers and what is the R-value?
The standard build is about 3/8" thick with an R3 rating. The thermal batting is protected beneath the outer skin so it won’t absorb water. Need more thermal performance? Ask about thicker insulation and higher R-value designs.
How do I measure my cold plunge for a custom fit?
Measure width, depth, and height in centimeters, including any lips, handles, or control boxes. For round tubs, measure the diameter; for ovals, measure the long and short diameters. We add slack for proper fit (not on height). Uploading photos helps us confirm details.
Which shape option (A–E) should I pick?
Select the shape that most closely matches your plunge (e.g., square/rectangle, round, oval, or tapered variants). If your tub has unique contours, choose the closest option and include notes or a sketch—we’ll build to your exact submitted dimensions.
Will the cover work with my existing lid or hard top?
Yes. We can make cap-style covers that slip over an existing rigid lid or full drop-style covers that seal the top rim. Add splits or tie-downs for quick access without removing the entire cover.
What fastening and access options can I add?
Common add-ons include reinforced grommets, tie-down straps, and strategic splits for easy access. These keep the cover secure against wind and allow you to uncover a portion of the tub for quick plunges or maintenance.
How do I clean and sanitize the cover?
Wipe the vinyl skin with mild soap and water. Polyester skins can be cleaned with gentle detergents. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage seams or the outer skin. Routine cleaning keeps the cover hygienic and looking sharp.
What about condensation, venting, and drainage?
Insulated covers reduce evaporation. If your environment needs airflow, ask for optional mesh vents or drain eyelets. After heavy splashes, open the cover briefly to let moisture escape before long storage.
What is the lead time and shipping policy?
Most Cold Plunge Insulated Covers ship in 10–12 working days after order confirmation. Shipping is free on orders over $150. Timelines can vary with size, complexity, and added features; you’ll see estimated shipping during checkout.
Do the covers come with a warranty?
Yes. Vinyl insulated covers include a 5-year warranty; polyester insulated covers include a 3-year warranty. Coverage applies to materials and workmanship for normal use.
Can I use the cover with a chiller or heater system?
Absolutely. The insulation helps chillers maintain set points and reduces heat gain from the room. Ensure any hoses, controllers, or cords are accounted for in your measurements so we can add splits or allowances where needed.
Do you accept photos, drawings, or bulk orders?
Yes. Upload reference photos, sketches, or CAD drawings to call out lips, steps, or protrusions. For teams and facilities, we offer quantity pricing and coordinated lead times—request a custom quote or contact us for large orders.
