Welcome to our forum.
So reviews of the most recent tests.The caldera niagara had great foot jets and rather powerful jets however i felt the jets were not precise snd felt a little sloppy. Lots of force but since they werent precise it didnt hit my back the way i hoped. The bullfrog was a very nice tub. Surprised me how strong the jets were considering the technology behind it.The individual knobs for power were a nice touch too. No diverter knobs to move the water. Foot jets were very weak however which was a downer.

Foot jets were very weak however which was a downer.Did you try using the individual knobs for power (diverters) to send more flow the the foot jets?Yes i tried turning off the jet packs but the foot jets were still very weak. The other jet packs had more force when i turned off a few jet packs which was nice

The hip, wrist, calf, and foot jets on the Bullfrog A7 and A8 are all very strong even with all the jetpaks on full power. If you like them strong you just have to make sure they are fully open since each one is individually controllable by rotating right or left. Most dealers demonstrate the jetpak controls but don't bother to get in the tub and make sure all the individual hip, wrist, calf, and foot jets are fully open before customers test them.
If this is the case its a shame the dealer didnt let us know. It literally had next to no pressure.

Well lights mean nothing but Artesian makes a fine tub. And they do have good power. Skip the bells and whistles, salesmanship and so called technology no matter what the brand. Get one that "feels good" and has a good reputation. Do your own evaluation of quality and customer service.

What was your take on the vector 94 versus the optima?
