I'm getting a new cover for my hot tub. At my old house, where it was in the open, it suffered badly from a hailstorm and would get waterlogged whenever it rained.
Fast forward to the new house, the hot tub is underneath a screened in porch (we have a walkout basement, screened in porch is on the 1st/entry floor). As such the cover may get wet when it's windy and raining, but otherwise stays dry. It gets very little to no direct sun. We are in Virginia, so summer highs in the 90s and humid, winter overnight lows maybe in the mid 20s on average.
Given that - do I need to use spa cover conditioner? I'll have to wash/wipe with dishwashing liquid in the spring when there is pollen, but do I really need to "condition" it?
