Title: Bullfrog Spa Pressure Difference
Post by: RyanC7 on August 07, 2018, 01:20:50 pm
Good Day,

Does anyone here own an A series bullfrog? I just purchased an A7L and I have noticed a pressure difference between seats for Pump 1 and seats for pump two.

My seats on pump 2 (Lounger etc) Have less pressure than the seats on pump one. It is not a drastic change but it is enough of a difference that I do not care to use my lounger.

I am worried that my maintenance guy will have trouble noticing a problem without actually getting in the tub themselves .

Is this common with bullfrogs? Am I just stuck with half a tub that I do not fully enjoy?

In an A7, there are 5 Jet Paks.

They are the same jet pump, with the same power.  However, one is feeding 3 paks, the other is feeding 2.  That's probably the difference. 

Since jet paks each had a different GPM rating, you'll want to also determine which jet paks are where, as that can greatly effect Jet pressure.

You can also turn off any jetpaks you aren't using which will increase the power to the other seats on that pump.

Great info thanks My wife and I noticed that when we were in to see the A7 jet power seemed less from one pump to the other.  makes sense if one is feeding 3 packs and the other 2 packs . So long as the tub seating is not all being used you can turn off jet packs but if it is full then I guess we will just have to deal with the less jet pressure.  Do you know if there is any option to put a high HP motor to help with pressure drop?
Thanks

They do not offer a larger motor unfortunately.  Would be nice if they did.
