I believe the jetpak design is patented which means no one can copy them without a lawsuit. Once the patent runs out (14 years from patent date) then anyone can make a similar design without risk of a lawsuit. That's probably when you'll see others copying the jetpak idea which I think is a good one. One of my biggest beefs with hot tubs is that you get what you get. With Bullfrog you can get what you want (within the limits of the jetpak choices).

That I understand completely. We've been without a tub for a while and we really miss it...

Sam:
Tman has always had a weird thing with Bullfrog. In the end, they have significantly less plumbing than a comparable spa. They have less holes drilled in the shell. They allow you to decide what jets you want and in what seat to put them. You can change them whenever you want. When they come out with a new pack, you can upgrade your old hot tub. JetPaks are patented and you cannot copy them.
This is all verifiable fact and not sales BS.
The Wizard of Spas:
I guess its all a matter of opinion. There are many valid points made in favor of and against Bullfrog. It seems that there will not be a consensus on the matter at hand. I hope we can all move forward now and let this thread cool off for a while and get back to answering questions vs campaigning.

I'll refrain after all.
Tman122:
I guess I got the "there patented" speech anyway......anyone wana bet? Talk to a patent lawyer. You would be surprised how little difference you need to go around patent laws. And the next guy will patent them as better, and the next, and the next. But that's not going to happen.
