Welcome to our forum.
Well I finally did it. Went back to the dealer yesterday and go in the X7, done deal. Platinum shell with gray cabinet, ozone, circ pump, full foam insulation, backlit jets, cover lift, steps, delivery and install. All for a grand total of $6818 out the door. Now I just have to wait about a month to get it in.
Congratulations! We couldn't decide between the grey or redwood cabinets because they both looked so nice, but we ended up going with the redwood. We did go with the platinum shell as well though. Will look very nice! Nice choice!
Did you go with the circ pump and ozone? I can save $500 more if I don't get these, I hear both sides of it but cannot figure out if this is a good choice. Dealer is telling me it is fantastic.

Get at least the circ. Especially on the X Series. I've been hounding Bullfrog about the inability to shut off Air on their non-circ pump spas and how it drives up pH when it's just circulating. The Circ solves that issue. Get it, and thank me later!Plus, if you just like soaking without the jets, it will be 100% quiet versus having the jet pump run on low speed to maintain heat.

I have also read that I should not run the circ pump 24/7 or it will burn out. What is the point of it if I'm not doing this? How often should I run it? Also, does the ozone only generate when the circ pump is running, and if I do run it 24/7 does that mean that ozone is being dispensed constantly?
@mjdieth - Where did you read that about the circ pump?
I disagree with Bullfrog on this. There are other companies that use that exact same circ pump and run it 24/7. Maybe just set it for 2x 8 hour cycles.
The ozone automatically turns on when the circ is on. Fyi, we run all of our Bullfrog circ pumps 24/7 and haven't noticed an abnormal failure rate.
I haven't received my X8L yet, so I don't know the answer to this, but is there a setting in the menu that allows you to change the circ. pump?
