Good Morning SabenCan you tell me what you like about the Bullfrog spa besides the dealer. we dont have a dealer near us to look at them.Thank you john 104 degrees
I have yet to see the Bullfrog spas in person, just researched them online. My reason between the two is strictly the dealer as these are the two lines he carries. I put my last spa in through the house and had to remove a small wall and this is where the previous owner had ran the water supply for an upstairs bathroom. My sawzall found them, and while the installers finished the spa install on the deck, the owner of the company went to his truck and resoldered the water supplies. (No extra cost). A dealer with excellent support deserves my business a second time around.-- and the Master Spa was a Thermal pane insulation.
...My sawzall found them....
Good thing your sawzall didn't find a set of live 110v wires huh? I have seen the bullfrog spas in person and even talked to the area director when I was considering carrying them in a store. I had my choices down to 3 and Bullfrog was one of the top two. In the end I did not open the store as other business ventures consumed too much of my time but I thought the Bullfrog was BETTER than the Master primarily because I did not get along with the ownership of Master's selling techniques of "Take as much money as you can from the customer NO MATTER what". When I said, in a competitive market for X-sized tub, the prices are around $8K and he responded by saying that "why take $8K if they are willing to pay you $12K for the same tub"? He basically said "try to sell it @ $12K and then if you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TOO and only after much negotiation should you reduce your price below that anywhere down to $8K (which still left about $1,500 in profit). IMHO, the company Master is GREEDY to the max but the individual dealer's may well be priceless. Sounds like you have a good dealer that has learned how to deal with corporate.
But it's often a double edged sword. Maybe the leaks are easier to find- but there might be more of them due to the lack of support for the plumbing that full foam offers. You'll hear that a lot- that it costs a fortune to fix a leak in a full foam tub. But most of the spa repair professionals who post here say that most leaks are in the service bay so it's a relatively moot issue.
