Hey folks Ben here from Urban Life Pools and Hot Tubs in Steinbach Manitoba and uh here to talk to you about Bullfrog Spas and …
Thanks for the honest review. Wish more people would do this.i just placed an order for one today!! I went with the A8L wanted the lounger but liked the fact the A8 is 38″ deep instead 36″ the A7 is. It’s sad I can only find yours and one other review that are from individuals not dealers. Thanks again
Thanks for the article. Just saw Bullfrog tubs at Costco last weekend; nearly pulled the trigger on an $11,000+ A6L. My next door neighbor got the guy to give it to her for $9,400! Needless to say, I would have been highly peeved to spend $2000 more for same unit. What is your experience with pricing? Now it feels like buying a car…
We went with a Wind River hot tub. They are made for Colorado and built in Colorado! I like that they dont have the spray in foam to insulate that if there is a leak just gets all wet and hard to do maintenance, instead they insulate the box and the sides remove easily to fix if ever needed. Also the material the tub is made from is superior to others out there and wont crack.
What the heck are those pallets — I don’t think that’s code as such and won’t be good for your tub to be sitting like that. Should be flat and even I believe. You have to remember the little thin layer of fiberglass is all that’s between you and that bottom piece. And if someone jumps around and stomps ie kids, or very heavy individuals your bottom ie of the hot tub could get distorted. I would make sure it’s level, where it’s sitting is even and flat. It tells you that in installation. You should be able to keep one for 20 years so I would get that hole filled in with leveled concrete up to where it needs to sit. Not busted up pallets that don’t even cover the entire hole. Serious… Didn’t the dealer install it. Sounds like they are bad! Didn’t take care of wiring or telling you that, and the surface putting it on. Gosh! It’s worth the extra $750-1,000 for them to install because then it’s not your fault if there is an issue. I wouldn’t touch it ie use it for even a few minutes until a qualified, license electrician had done their part and the dealer that sells it has their people or who they recommend install it, fills it, makes sure the water starts out right. And that they give you a written statement that’s of such and such date it’s okay to use it. Then it’s the buyer’s duty is to drain it every couple of months, and that you use the chemicals Bullfrog recommends, and their maintenance schedule carefully including winterizing. And the daily chemical tests. If you can afford it and if you are buying a premium hot tub like this and spending $15-18,000, you should be able to have the dealer have their people take care of major maintenance and there are a number of steps but also have a reputable pool company come out each week and after some big party where too many get in.
Can you make a short article just showing all jet packs full blast so I can see what that looks like? Considering an R7L, don’t need that many seats since we’re a family of 3, but I want to see what the tub looks like with everything going full tilt. Reply to me when you post it so I can go find it. 😅
There’s something missing in this that I wanted to see, and that was your experience as an owner after using it for a year or more. All the reviews I have been finding about Bullfrog spas are bad. Leaks, broken or missing parts that are hard to get, not much power, etc. We wanted a hot tub but not the usual curvy, marbled spaceship-like look. Something more modern and sleek looking. That’s when I first saw Bullfrog. But I can’t be confident about investing with them after what I have found. I found Wellis Spas; they have a look close to Bullfrog. But according to all the reviews I’ve come across, the design and construction are top-notch. There are just fewer dealers up here in Canada.
Hate to be a downer but……first tub A7D (ordered May 2023) had an air-lock that both the dealer nor I could fix. Bullfrog did step up and a second arrived last weekend 🎉(after 3 weeks). We fired it up Monday evening and it was shooting shredded black rubber through all of the jet-packs and the #1 pump / filter has very little water pressure. The dealer this time stepped up and sent a technician out to troubleshoot and repair, however, two new pump replaces later, nada. I have asked the dealer for a full-refund prior to taking any legal action. Let’s see how Bullfrog steps-up and refunds the dealer. All in all, these are the deal breakers meaning pumps that do not work along with plugged up plumbing in two models but there is 5 other problems including lighting, jets, switches. for a $15,750 spa, come on. Quality control is sorely lacking at Bullfrog in the summer of 2023. Let’s see if their customer service is better. Believe me I love the engineering but the execution in manufacturing and QC is lacking.
@The Breakdown With Luke, Thanks for the great review of you A7. You did not mention which of the three Trim Levels you have (Standard, Plus, or Select). A dealer told me that the “Premium Water Feature” (Plus & Select Trims) has a three tiered flow, which is what yours looks like. Your cabinet did not seem to be two-tone (Select Trim), So I assume you have the middle Trim ‘Plus’ of the A&7. The ‘Standard Trim’ comes with “standard lighting”. Yours, if it is a ‘Plus Trim’ would have the ‘Premium Lighting’. Sad to hear that the ‘Premium Lighting’ is underwhelming. I am looking at A6L or A7L, now I’ll have to really look at what ‘STANDARD Lighting’ looks like if it will be more underwhelming than the ‘Premium Lighting’. I’m told that the ‘Select Trim’ add lighting under each headrest. But as of Dec. 20, 2023, Select Trim is $2500 over Standard Trim, and the A7 Select is an additional $4300. I am not likely to spring for the Select Trim level. ;o) Another difference between Standard and the other two higher Trims is Standard Headrests & Premium headrests for the two higher models. I’m told that Std HR’s are soft, so you cannot sit on them and have your legs dangle into the tub. ??? The Premium HR’s are said to be hard (and wider), so you can sit on them. Curious if you can speak to your head rests vs. the Std softer, smaller ones if you saw them in your shopping. Thanks again for a great review. Dave
I have an A6L and I love it. What this article fails to mention are some of the best reasons to get a Bullfrog spa: 1. Modular jet packs. Easily replaceable should one fail or if you just want a different jet configuration 2. 90% less tubing than a traditional hot tub so way less possibility for leaks or repairs. 3. Has snap in cartridges for minerals and chlorine and uses 75% less chlorine than traditional hot tubs 4. Frame is some sort of super strong molded plastic. So no wood or metal to rust or rot. I’ve had mine operational for about 2 months and really like it. Each jet pack is highly customizable by whoever is sitting in that particular seat. Being able to control each side of tub is great too as it has dual pumps. Overall I’d recommend!!
Good to hear your input. A salesperson in another vid claimed that the jetpacks were weak and had no purpose but I appreciate your view. Customizing a favorite seat seems like a huge plus. Are they adjustable in any way besides high / low strength ? and how deep is the tub ? for winter I prefer 36″ or better
