thrml. AIRCAP 1 Foam-Free Hot Tub Cover - Deep Grey

The thrml. AIRCAP 1 is a lightweight, foam-free replacement hot tub cover designed to eliminate one of the most common problems with traditional spa covers: waterlogged foam that becomes increasingly heavy and difficult to lift.

Instead of an absorbent foam core, the AIRCAP 1 uses welded drop-stitch construction and an insulated air chamber. The sealed structure does not absorb water, helping the cover maintain its weight, shape and insulating performance throughout its service life.

Available in six sizes, the AIRCAP 1 fits qualifying square hot tubs measuring 77" to 94" across. Each cover includes three interchangeable Ziptech skirt depths, allowing you to select the skirt that best fits your spa cabinet.

📦 Free Shipping Included

Free standard shipping is included with this AIRCAP 1 cover to eligible U.S. addresses.

Special-Order Product — Estimated 4–6 Weeks

This item is ordered after your purchase. Please allow approximately 4–6 weeks before the cover is available for shipment or pickup. Timing is an estimate and may vary depending on manufacturer availability.

Please carefully measure your spa and confirm the correct size before ordering. Contact Southern Leisure Spas & Wellness if you need help selecting the correct AIRCAP 1 size.

🧩 Compatibility & Fitment

The AIRCAP 1 is currently designed for qualifying square hot tubs measuring 77" to 94" across the top.

To determine the correct size:

  1. Measure straight across the top of the spa from side to side.
  2. Measure straight across the top from front to back.
  3. Use the larger measurement when selecting your AIRCAP 1 size.
  4. If the measurement falls between two sizes, round up to the next size.

A slightly oversized cover can overhang the cabinet edge, while an undersized cover may leave gaps and fail to seal properly.

A corner-radius measurement is not required. The AIRCAP 1 uses a flexible, semi-custom design rather than the rigid foam inserts found in traditional replacement covers.

The current AIRCAP 1 is not intended for rectangular, round, triangular or other non-square spas. Spas smaller than 77" or larger than 94" are also outside the currently available size range.

Use the THRML Spa Fitter or the THRML SureFit measuring guide to help confirm the correct size.

  3. Inflate the cover using the included pump and the instructions provided in the AIRCAP 1 manual.
  4. Select the Ziptech skirt depth that best matches your spa cabinet.
  5. Zip the selected skirt securely onto the cover.
  6. Position the cover evenly across the top of the spa.
  7. Install and adjust all four keyed locking tie-down straps.
  8. Confirm that the cover sits evenly and seals around the spa’s perimeter.

Installation typically takes approximately 10–15 minutes. Always follow the manufacturer’s inflation, installation and safety instructions.

💬 Southern Leisure Says

The AIRCAP 1 is an excellent alternative for spa owners who are tired of replacing heavy, waterlogged foam covers. Its sealed air chamber removes the absorbent foam that causes many conventional covers to become increasingly difficult to lift.

Correct sizing is still important. Measure the actual spa rather than relying only on the model name, especially if the spa is an older model or has had cabinet or shell changes over the years.

🧼 Care & Maintenance

  • Clean the cover with fresh water, mild soap and a soft cloth
  • Avoid solvents, harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning products
  • Inspect the cover, valves, skirt and tie-down straps regularly
  • Keep the cover secured with all four locking straps when the spa is unattended
  • Check the inflation level periodically and top it off when necessary
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions before adding or releasing air
  • Keep sharp objects away from the cover
  • Store the included pump and repair kit in a clean, dry location

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping included in the price?

Yes. Free standard shipping is included with this product to eligible U.S. addresses.
