Hi everyone, newbie here, but I've learned A LOT in the last week or so about hot tubs!
Having no experience at all with hot tubs, I was originally budgeting $6k for 6-7 person hot tub as that is what I typically saw in the Costco and Home Depot ads. After learning a little more about hot tubs though, I quickly realized that my $6k budget was garbage and I needed to double that if I wanted a quality hot tub that would last more than a year or two.
So with that said, I'm now looking at the BullFrog A7 and A8. We really like having less plumbing and the fact that all the diverters are in the tub; just less places for the tub to potentially leak in the frame. We also like the exchangeable jet pack system as well.
With all that said, my budget is now completely blown and I'm curious what add-ons need to be purchased up-front and installed by the factory versus which ones I can add-on at a later date. We're looking at the following three upgrades:
- Cloud Control 2 Wifi - $400 - I think this is an easy add-on, but not sure. We'd much rather wait if we can on this to see if we really want it or not.
- EOS™ ENHANCED O3 SYSTEM - $500 - Does anyone know if we can wait on this or does it need to be factory installed?
- WellSrping Filtration Pump - $500 - Does anyone know if can we wait and install this ourselves?
Thanks everyone for any insight you have!
