Welcome to our forum.
Another factor is that it I am being led by the sales person to the Kauai much more than the Bullfrog. Suspiciously so, as if there is an incentive for the dealer to be partial to the Kauai.
castletonia,Funny that I just poured 2.5 gallons of chlorine into the pool and your post reminded me of the thoughts i had about going to a salt water pool a couple of years ago. Plumbing kept me from doing it as well as the cost of the cell that may require periodic replacement. Is the cell replacement similar to what I would have needed for the pool or is this a minimal maintenance expense? This may be a deciding factor as i have dealt with chlorine tablets and jugs for many years and know first hand the hassle involved. It really would be nice not having to deal with it. What would you expect the the cost to add the ACE to the jetsetter? Appreciate your insight.Bill
Thank you for taking the time to respond and I value that opinion. I'll feel better with the Caldera Kauai if I decide to go with it and I am now determined to check out the Jet setter from another dealer. Looking on line that seems like a pretty sweet hot tub. I am replacing a Hot Springs Sovereign dated 1994.Have you had any experience with the Bullfrog? I noticed under specs that it has a 2.5 hp motor versus 2 hp on the Kauai. Would that make a significant difference in jet pressure. I am guessing that pressure is relative to how many jets are running. The caldera seating arrangement is much more preferable though.thanks again
As for the pump hp, the Bullfrog should have a decent amount more power than the Caldera. Obviously jetpak choice will affect this, but side by side the Bullfrog will have more power regardless. I'm not recommending it over the Caldera per say, just addressing the power question.
Hello folks, Nice forum here and I appreciate all the opinions and expertise in the discussions i have read thus far.Appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks,Bill
