I never wet tested a BF though.

Potential buyers I hope won't also be influenced by advertising. And will test the feel of any potential purchase themselves. The feel of a tub has absolutely nothing to do with how it's plumbed. The big players in the industry work hard on how a tub "feels". To much flow and it's unpleasant. Not enough and it's also unpleasant. No one can say BF is better or worse. Some here like to say I am saying it's worse which is simply not true. But most will recognize that. And hopefully most will also recognize that I AM NOT blinded by the BF advertising like some here. But that's easy to spot.

Post count equates to experience?

15-20 different manufacturers tubs owned over the years and likely 30-40 different tubs ranging from 2-3 years old to 20-25 years old. Disposed of close to 100 tubs. Repaired several hundreds of different tubs. Licensed plumber for 30 years. Still repair part time for select customers out of warranty tubs. Still maintain a relationship with 4-5 local dealerships.

Does that qualify as experience?

It still makes me laugh:) Thanks for the stress relief. Tman you are right that bullfrogs are not for everyone and i don't think any one reputable is saying that. There are many hot tubs that are just as good. What feels good to one might not to another. Your catching so much flack because you have only a cursory knowledge of bullfrogs and try to act an expert. If someone wants to yap about Artic or D1 or Lazyboy I will keep my mouth shut because I've never worked on one and have zero experience with them. If you have any real questions about bullfrog then ask. My wife keeps saying i know everything. I might be taking that out of context though.

Knowledge or not if you put one in front of me I could take it apart and put it back together faster than most. It's not rocket science. Somehow I feel I just insulted myself?

  LOL!    It's why I don't want to change from Jacuzzi Jim I'd lose all my post counts.     Doubt Vegas will happen, been pushing for it but it's also our crazy time for fireplace and stove sales here in the PNW.
