But at the end of the day, I agree with you in that the wet test should be the final measure. I'd just hate to see someone not even give the BF a chance due to something they read on the internet.

Ummmmmmm wait........isn't that what an advertised sales brochure from BF does? It's OK for them to do it but not me? I'd hate to see someone not give any other brands a try because of that sales BS.
I'm not sure how drilling the right amount of holes in the shell for the proper hydrotherapy feel means anything but hey......

Sorry to go radio silence on here. It was a busy weekend. First, I wet tested the hot tubs and then I started running numbers and scouring Craigslist.
I made an offer on a 2013 Sundance Cameo 880 that I could see up and running and came to a fantastic arrangement with the seller on price and extras. I'm just waiting on the movers now and then it's permit time followed by installation and electrical.
I still appreciate all the input about Bullfrogs. Now that we'll be wired and set up for a tub, it would make getting a new one quite a bit more affordable, if that makes any sense. It's amazing how all the prices add up not just in the store but with the foundation, electrical, and permits.

That's a powerful tub and quiet. You will like it.
Need any trouble shooting help let us know. Parts are easily accessible.
I hope everyone understands that I am not trying to blow holes in BF. I have said it before, they make a fine tub. But if the design was that good you could count on copying, and don't give me the "it's patented" thing. If patents could stop other similar designs in products we wouldn't have choices in any products. It wouldn't matter what brand it was. If you sling shit here you get called on it, plain and simple. There are other dealers and owners here who slung it long before any of you BF dealers/owners did with other brands. They got the same from me and several others members here. People come here to get un-biased information. Not the same stuff and same brochures they heard/saw at the dealer. This is my board dammit!!! No really I have been warned here before by the moderator team because of some vigorous discussions for a lot of years. I called it constructive conflict, they called it mean. We all learn. I'm honored that I am respected here. But I am falling behind. The industry is getting out of site as I zero in on retirement. Sighhhhhhhh..........But I will always recognize BS. I'm crabby cause I don't have a tub right now.

Maybe you missed the heated post from me against some certain HS sales people in the past one of which sells Bullfrog now?
The thing with Bullfrog is and I sold against them for a long time and they were easily destroyed in the sales presentation. With the changes and improvements they have done, and granted you wouldn't know this other than the increased amount of Bullfrog traffic here. They have exploded in to the market place in the last two years. I talked with our rep on Friday and he set up 8 dealers in the last month or so. Many of which were long time Jacuzzi/Sundance dealers. They are taking floor space and selling spa's and it's not because of the " up to 90%" less plumbing pitch. They are an easy spa to sell and people do like the features and customization they offer. They are not louder than any other spa, there warranty is on par if not better than many, and so far their customer service is batting a thousand with me and any issue that has come up. Far better than Jacuzzi had been in the last about 4 years with whom we sold spas with for 15 years. They were not happy with us bringing Bullfrog on in the slightest, and my previous comments in this post reflect that. Jerry Paisley (Ex President of Jacuzzi and Sundance spas) Has done a very good job of bringing Bullfrog to the front of the line.

Glad to hear you made a decision...and yet buying a hot tub is like buying a home, you need to budget to all the extra fees to get the deal done.
Enjoy your tub!
