I have been shopping around for about a month now and have focused in on three brands I like, Hot Springs Vanguard which I see gets talked about alot here, the other don't seem to unless i miss them; Bullfrog 662 and D1 Nautilus. The bullfrog dealer has been in business 20 plus years but has only been selling bullfrog for a year. Both the other dealers have been around 8 years but have dealt those spa the whole time.

The Hot spring seemed to have evreything I wanted. It is a very popular name, and there jet systems seemed to be the highest quality. The Bullfrog were very different from anything else I had seen, it seemed to have the best warranty and the Jet seats or Jet packs where very neat. D1 just caught my eye I'm not really sure, just liked the look of it over all, D1 dealer seemed to be the nicest but i did meet the owner there were the other two were away.

Go with whichever fits/feels best (wet testing is a great idea) and with whichever spa you truly think will be the best for you for the next 10+ years.

Well, there you go.....see how simple spa shopping really is?

Was the Vanguard you looked at the 2005 or the 2006? The new ones are beautiful and I can't wait to get them in the store Thursday!

If the Vanguard has everything you're wanting in a spa, is there any concern you may have that you'd care to discuss? Myself and many others on here are happy to help in whatever way we can.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Some of them are goobers, I hate to say. The product is great but if you are not comfortable with the salesperson, go straight to the owner. Unless, the goober IS the owner.

You're not in East Texas by any chance? Hopefully, I'm not the goober in this instance.....

It wasn't either of you to, so don't worry. I tested the Bullfrog last nite. It was really nice, didn't care to much for the lay down seat thing. The sales man was talking about 56 something for the main pumps and 48 for the circ? pump. I think it was the size and then he went into all this stuff about how 2hp is the same as 4 break hp? I think i got it right.

You were talking to the Goober Horsepower salesman. He's very boring.
