Welcome to our forum.
Hi.Has anyone ever heard of, or had expeerience with, the replacement spa cover that Costco sells?It's not actually Costco, but one of their "Partners" called "Core Covers". I belive they are in California.Thru Costco, the cover is about $150 less than other places. btu I don't know the quality of the cover.Usually, if Costco sells it, they back it.Thanks.
This exact discussion came up on the other main spa forum but I don't think they like linking that site here. The thing is they're only 1# foam density which helps them keep the price down but is going to be an issue for energy efficiency. Its like the old Fram oil filter commerncial, "you can pay me now or you can pay me later".

Did you find that info elsewhere, or are you familiar with this company ?The original cover I got with my J350 was made by "IDEAL" and has lasted 10 years. But the vinyl is ripped, the stitching is failing and it is SOOOOO waterlogged I can hardly lift it.Time for a new one for sure.So.... if you all think this cover is not so good, what do you suggest? I don't mind paying for a really good quality, especially if it's going to last 10 years.But if I can save some money and still get a great cover, that's even better.Thanks for the suggestions.
Spatech_tuo,OK. Thanks for the info. It will save me in the long run. What's that saying.... "penny wise, pound foolish".Seems like this is a case of "you get what you pay for".vangoghsear said his Sunstar was good quality, how about some others ?Who makes the better covers out there ?Thanks
The OEM cover from Jacuzzi should be pretty good. My Sunstar cover came (OEM) with my Bullfrog spa.
