We are looking at placing an order for an 8’ spa, the Bullfrog R8 likely unless a wet test changes our mind, or a cover option on another brand that is superior.
We looked at the R8 in Lake Elmo MN. I don’t think my repeated inquiries to the salesman about easy to lift cover options sunk in. He glazed over a $2500 walk on gas assist option which was broken in the showroom and mentioned another option of an OEM (?) that was like the standard only it had a bar or linkage that goes across to keep it from being as flimsy as the original. My bride needs this for therapy and as easy and light as the standard was to lift, it was more than she should or could. I wish the salesman would have taken my cue better on this rather than trying to close first time shoppers.
What are the options for easy lift covers for either Bullfrog or does another quality brand have a better option that could sway me?
