Welcome to our forum.
Dk, not really sure what your budget is but we just ordered a BF A7L for less than they quoted you on the Geneva, we did not inquire about the 8 size as we did not want to go that big. Might want to ask you Bull Frog dealer about the R8 series/size. They do have a factory rebate going on til Monday. I do realize prices are all over the place depending on regions.39

That is a great price for that bullfrog. It's actually a pretty neat tub. It's not going to compare at all to a utopia series caldera in most ways but for a entry level tub BF seems to make a very good tub. i got to see those tubs up close at the Las Vegas international pool and spa show last year and they were pretty nice tubs at a good procepoint. X series is kind of going away from what they are known for with it having no jet paks but they needed to fill a price gap which is why I'm sure they started making them

You hear from? The dealer? They have a diverter at every jet pac, because they call it an individual control does not make it not a diverter. If you turn it down or up it "diverts" water to the pac or away. Don't let a sales pitch sway you. All tubs have individually controlled jets. Composite base, very common. Stainless fasteners also very common except on the lower value lines. I'd shoot for a 5 year warranty. Step up to the higher end BF if your interested in BF and wet test against the others.well first of all the X Series doesn't even have JetPaks...again you comment on things you know nothing about which is pretty comical

I wonder why a dealer would bring it up as a sales point then? Now that's comical. Diverters give you so much more control over a tub.....I would definitely wet test a tub with no diverters, might be weak.And BFSM, where were you when all the threads about bad pac seals and noisy heaters showed up? You like to talk about magic plumbing but not help people with screwed up BF tubs?
Congrats DK!That's an awesome spa. Know you got an unreal price. IF that's what you paid, I know the dealer lost money on that deal... easily! Hard for the other dealer to do something that loses them money.
That's a ridiculous price on a R8 Congrats!
