Rain Water in Cover

[BadBack]

I was wondering if anyone has ever had rain water collect in their spa cover.  My Euphoria is just about a year old now, and every now and then when we have a heavy rain water collects on one side of the cover.  The foam core which is wrapped in plastic remains dry, the water collects between the vinyl cover and the foam.  I usually open the zipper let the water out and let it dry.  Icant find any tears in the cover, and think the water is coming in from the stitching.  I mentioned it to my dealer, and he said if it continies to happen he will get me a new one.  Has anyone ever had this happen?

On the underside of the cover, right in the middle, there should be a small hole, 1/4" or so in diameter, to allow water to escape........... It's possible there was an oversight in production and the hole didn't get cut.

My Reward gets water in the outside flap after a hard rain.  The dealer has been after me to send him a picture so I can send it to Marquis.  Hopefully I'll get arounf to it soon

I find a little rainwater will collect inside mine as well.....just as you described.  It probably seeps in through the stitching as the vinyl is intact and in great shape.  Opening the cover for the first soak after a rain allows the water to drain out......no special treatment, no harm done.  I think it's just the nature of the beast.

Dr. Spa, thanks for the information,  I will check the hole later tonight.  Thank you everyone for your replies.

I check the holes and they are sealed.  Should I punch them out?  Will this effect the heat retention of the cover?
