Welcome to our forum.
i just talked to the man that is selling the jacuzzi used and he mentioned a brand that he sells called a bullfrog. i looked at the website and it looks really neat. is this a good brand?robert
Bullfrog is actually a pretty good and well respected name. Kinda surprised that Wisoski responded that way. Maybe he's starting to loose sales to this brand. I actually spoke directly with the Mfg when I was considering getting into the business. They do have a nice and unique product that has a significantly different approach to the business. In many ways, they are a good idea but they can also be just as pricey as the larger mfgs. If you do like what you see, BF has been around for a while and they are a respected company with a good product. Do a search on the name and you will find that most who have one like it. In the end I did not open a spa business because my VoIP business is simply too busy and at the time I couldnot afford to risk one business to start another. In the end I was trying to decide between Bullfrog or Beachcomber. The number of dealers representing these two is significantly fewer than the other large players so they were good considerations as new businesses. I own a jacuzzi J370but feel that the Bullforg was a comparable unit. Obviously, Wis disagrees with this but...
not looking to put a bad word in here. However I was speaking to a tech this week about them as he was with a dealer who had the line and he said he was very unimpressed by them. He felt there was more gimmicks than real substance .
They got the first 4 letters of their name right anyway.
We live in Central IL and have had a Bullfrog 451 for over a year. It is in a 10’X25’ sunroom that was built on a patio. We have five dealers within a twenty five mile radius of us. One of the dealers (The Great Escape) has four different top brands. As well as four other dealers of different brands. We chose the Bullfrog after looking a many other top brands. The dealer we bought it from has been in the Spa and Pool business for over 40 years and has a very good reputation. (San Juan Pool & Spas in Bloomington and Pekin both in IL) I can’t say enough about this dealer. We liked all the features on the Bullfrog. With the ability to upgrade the jet packs and etc. Don’t worry about the jets being to strong just turn the ring around the jet to turn it up or down to suit your self. Also the way it is plumped made sense to us because we were placing it indoors. It is perfected for us. But with different body types you need to wet test before buying any Spa. The jet pack has a hose that puts out a stream of water behind the jetpacks so it gets filter along with the rest of the water. I took off the jetpacks to clean them after six months and there was nothing on the hoses behind them it was clean. ALL jetpacks fit all seats. There is alot of miss information about the Bullfog Spa. I have not heard anyone that really has one that does not like it or even had something bad to say about then. (I visit five different boards a day. Use different search engines and see what you come up with your self.)Go to their web site and check out the warranty. http://www.bullfrogspas.com/2005/index.html
What happens when they discontinue an acrylic color? Don't say it doesnt happen, it happens every year. So if you decide to get a new jet pack, and your acrylic color has been discontinued, I suppose having one seat of a different color is no big deal. Lets see, what goes good with sapphire marble.....
I guess waterfalls and moto massage and fountains, lights in the jets, leds all around the spa, TVs and radio with pop up speakers are not just pure marketing.
It also save on heat lost.
When you order your Spa you get to pick what Jet packs you want. If you want another later to change up some dealers will take yours in trade.
You can feel free to discredit them all you want. But you will not change my mind about the advantages of the design.
