Welcome to our forum.
Thanks for your quick response. Do you have direct experience with them? And how would they compare to the Artesians? Are the Bullfrogs really that much better?
I've sold Wellis now for about 2 years, I like them, they are built well and if you get one with the Extreme cover and Extreme insulation they perform as well as any other mid-tier brand outdoors imo (I'm in Minnesota FYI) the Monte Blanc, Monte Rosa, Taurus and Libra are by far are best selling models along with their 15' Danube swim spa. They have a nice thick ABS pan, maintenance free construction and a lot of features for the money imo...Good Luck!
I don’t know much if anything about Wellis but what Cranbiz said is basically cut and pasted from a website called Hot Tub University. I don’t believe a word out of that guys mouth so I would take his reviews with a grain of salt. Just browsing his site I have seen a number of inaccuracies posted by Chris on his own site.

How does the jet pressure compare to Bullfrogs jet packs? How many repairs have you had to deal with due to craftsmanship? Their USA Facebook page is not getting the best reviews - some complaints about the touchscreen controls getting water damage. Curious what kind of luck you've had if you don't mind giving me an unbiased opinion.
Hi, after doing more research I have a few follow up questions. Short story is I am now leaning towards the simpler design of the Taurus as opposed to Monte Rosa or Bullfrog. I want to confirm a few more things about the Taurus though...1.) I know the bullfrog jetpaks have a nice adjuster on them to control how hard the jets flow. Do the Wellis spas allow you to disable or adjust individual jet pressure?2.) Looks like the Taurus has a 2 speed pump. Is that specific to a region like the lounger? The Monte Rosa's pumps seem to be all 1 speed.3.) The Monte Rosa has UV whereas Taurus has Ozone only. If I went with the Monte Rosa, do you have to change that bulb frequently in order to maintain it? How long does it last?4.) Are the gecko InTouch 2 wifi controls worth adding on? Looks like a bit of a kludge design where it goes over RF to a router that is hardwired. Im curious if anyone has had experience with that and how far your router can be. Mine is probably 100 feet through 3-4 walls. Thanks to anyone who replies with experience on these matters!!

Largest in Europe and great insulation for there US models. Frames and body will never rot or rust. Each jet is adjustable on all the Wellis models.Unlike the Monte Rosa with a dedicated circulating pump plus the 3 dedicated jet pumps, the Taurus has a single speed jet pump and a double speed jet pump that also does the circulation. With motors it is beneficial to have them run at a consistent RPM. The UV-C in the Monte Rosa should last ~8-9000 hours or so.
