Bullfrog A7L. Underpowered? Seat sizes?

Sounds like it’s not a good fit for you. We wanted a deeper tub and ended up with a Caldera Geneva as it was a couple inches deeper and had one seat that was really low. Jet placement and force is everything and find one that suits you both. one thing the Geneva has is a huge jet off to the side of the foot well. most powerful jet in the tub and I use it all the time as it blasts straight up and it is pretty easy to get any sore part above it.

Once you get a tub you will figure out other ways to use some of the jets. In unique ways. We use 3 of the 6 seats 90% of the time as going thru a circuit of the three gives you a full massage. The other 3 seats have uses and jets but are mostly social seats.

I went back for another wet test, sans wife, to give me a chance to play with everything.  I managed to get closer to the pummelling I was looking for, and managed to get my shoulders comfortably in by selecting the right seats.  However, I think I've found the issue: it's the nature of the jetpaks themselves. 

In my case, I tend to have lower back issues, so I like something hitting as low as possible.  The jetpaks are designed so the lowest jet is still noticeably, for me, above where I'd like it to be hitting.  It has to be that way, because the jetpak has to be a removable unit and because the on/off control is at the base of the unit.  I have to lift my butt off the seat to get the jet onto the spot, and it doesn't seem to work right then (probably because I'm not relaxed?).

Anyway, thanks guys.

Brand aside if you are looking to hit really low on your back I have customers that will purchase these: https://covervalet.com/spa-side/water-brick-water-seat/

You are basically lifting yourself up in the air a couple inches allowing the lowest part of your back to get at certain jets

His wife said it was the most comfortable lounger she's used.....   Enjoy the Bullfrog, Bromley, I'm sure you'll get used to it  :D

Do you have a marquis dealer near you.  If so try out the reward or the resort for lower back therapy.  The HK40 jets on those will give you the pummelling you are looking for.  All brands you have looked like are reputable.  By something that fits both you and your wife

If you can try all the jet pacs? Maybe one hits right. Otherwise move past it and get closer to the feel you like. It is not unusual at all for a particular design, power level to be right for one and not right for another. Good thing you have some options. Like HTG said do you have a Marquis dealer or D1 guy around? Both manufacturers have blow you out of the seat powerful if you want and dial-able down to what will be the best feel for long soaks power.

And obviously both the HS and SD models your looking at are top notch.
