Hey Hot Tubbies,
I have been seriously considering a Bullfrog 2013 A6L SS from a local dealer. But now reading that its single 2-speed pump may could be somewhat low on pressure, especially given that this particular A6L has (4) JetPaks, instead of (3). On the good side, it has a Circ. Pump (1/15 HP).
I ran across the fact that Bullfrog annually does Roadshow Events at Costcos in seven regions across the country. They will be near me in the SF Bay Area/ Nor Cal. the first few months of 2024. They go for 1 week at one area Costco, then to another, eight stores in this Nor Cal. region.
Here is a link to the 2024 Bullfrog/ Costco Roadshow schedule.
http://https://www.costco.com/bull-frog-spas-schedule.htmlIf anyone has purchased a Bullfrog via one of these Costco Bullfrog Roadshows, we love to hear the details of your experience. Did you have to buy specifically spec'ed tub, say the base Trim Level for each model? Just a few models? I understand that the pricing was ≈ 18% below dealer quoted prices. Local dealer prices will vary, but I'd guess The Roadshow Event prices will be the same across all Roadshow Costco stores. I understand that local dealers actually put on the Roadshow events. I sent an inquiry on pricing and model availability to Bullfrog via their website yesterday. If I get any response, I'll post it here. I'll probably call a large local dealer and ask if they are the ones putting on the Tracy Costco Bullfrog roadshow (nearest me Jan 5th – 14th 2024)

I may be tempted to work an extra two months before retiring this spring to justify adding ≈ $10,000 to my ‘$5,000 used tub budget’. Not sure about going the new Bullfrog route even if the Roadshow pricing turns out to save between ≈$3100 to $3500 depending on the Trim Level of the A6L (Standard, Plus, Select).
Let's keep this thread on Bullfrog tubs via Costco and not get off-topic or thread jacked onto Costco brand tubs. Thank You
Here's some pics of the 2013 A6L SS for $3900 I am considering.
