Welcome to our forum.
That seems good Afarmwife. X Series is certainly a great hot tub, not the luxury models, but quality-wise, fantastic. I'd recommend getting the circ pump.Price is fair (good dealer I hope?) The Canadian dollar is pretty weak against the US. That price puts it close to what I am. I normally sell the X7 for $7500-$8500 (depending what they choose as options.)Thisismyname has a great price in the A8, but the dealer they are dealing with don't mind losing money, so unless you got one of those around, $10k ($12k CAN) is completely absurd for an A8.
My husband put a deposit down on a Bullfrog X7 today. I feel that it was a high pressure sale and he's desperate for pain relief for arthritis. He was quoted 10,000 CDN for the spa, lid and lift kit, chemicals and stairs. He hasn't done much research but I've been doing some comparison and have notice that the Bullfrog seems to be an "entry level" spa. I worry that he has over paid for something in his excitement and lack of research. The dealer he put the deposit down with also sells Marquis brand. I have taken a look at them and I do like the Promise which was quoted at $9500 CDN. Can someone steer me in the right direction regarding these two spas so I can check them out before my husband makes a huge mistake?
There is a lot more value to me in a signature marquis then a x series bullfrog when you consider the Marquis is $500 less. I would try them both before making a decision
I wet tested a marquis Epic and didn't like anything about it....and we loved the bullfrog during 3 wet tests!So no matter what other day and technical specs say you need to test them out to know what you want

Most of us anyway.
Thoughts are. A bullfrog X series is built on the same line as the A and R series. Same shell and backing with a polymer frame full foam spa. Same Balboa control Pack and a different controller and one less filter with a 3 year warranty and no jet packs and bells+ whistles. Yet is a lesser price then a R or A series. How much different is the Promise signature series from the next step up in the marquis line? It's probably built on the same line, probably uses the same equipment as the upper end version, if Balboa probably the same as the X series or R series controller. Full foam or not I have no idea. Long story short, a inexpensive or lower end spa from a quality mnfg doesn't always mean a cheaper construction wise spa or a really lesser end spa. It probably has less bells and whistles with less or more add on options and a lower price. Now don't take that verbatim or twist it like the media does these days with some people. But you industry people should understand what I am saying..
