Bullfrog R6L 1 pump

(1/8) > >>

Compatico:
Hello everyone;

We're shopping around for a new tub and have been researching several brands including Bullfrog. We like the idea of customizing the tub the way we want, the lack of wood in the frame, and the 1-piece base that can be placed on several types of pads (no room to get concrete poured in the back easily). We plan to wet test before buying but it's over an hour drive to a dealer so we haven't tried one yet. We like loungers and the size of the R6L which is the same size as the last tub we had. It's just me and the wife most of the time, so we don't really need a 7 or 8 series.

I just have one question for any owners of the Bullfrog A or R series tubs with just the 1 pump - is it lacking power since the tub only has the 1 pump?

Thanks for any feedback,
Bill

Any closer dealers? There's plenty of good tubs out there.

Lots of tubs have bases like that. I sell marquis and we sell the e435 where if you put 1 pump in its  lacking but when you add a second pump it rocks. E435 is similar in size and jet count

I've tried that tub out.  Keep in mind, Bullfrog doesn't have any diverter valves, so in order to get to the pressure you want, you will probably have to turn off a jet pak, maybe two depending on how much power you want out of the jets.  It's literally the same as diverting the pressure from one side of the spa to the other on any other brand.  Having them all one is like having the diverter in the middle position (not as strong as I would like.)

Is that tub available with dual pumps?
