Bullfrog jetpacks rusty

(1/2) > >>

bwspa:
I stopped by the local store to continue my search and noticed the A8 had jetpacks where the chrome around the Jets were rusting. This was the first time I've seen rusty trim around Jets on any hot tub, but was really surprised since it was on Bullfrogs high end.  They've only been a BF dealer for about 2 years so that's even more surprising.  Anyone ran into this before? It wasn't just one either. Multiple Jets on several jetpacks from what was visible on The demo tub.

Do they have a chlorine floater in there?  When I see rusted jets... for any spa... it's because they are over chlorinating it.  Doubt it has to do with the quality of the spa, more of the quality of the person who is supposed to be taking care of it.

bwspa:
No floaters were in the tub.  Didn't have a strong chlorine smell, but the damage could have been done previously I imagine.  Always possible a bad plating job on those jets.

 Still you'd think they'd replace them since that's a major turn off.  The impression is Bullfrog can rust while the Jacuzzi and Sundance spas don't. Not going to help sales.

Jacuzzi Jim:
 Um yeah, my guess is it's a bad run of Stainless or chem issue.  If it's the shinny chrome not brushed they are older, that being said for a showroom that's a bad appearance..   And yes I have seen Jacuzzi and Sundance and a few other brands have issues rust wise over the years.  Pretty rare IMO but it happens.    It's why Jacuzzi and Sundance got rid of their stainless waterfall cover caps.

I haven't ran into rust but the dealer in my area for Artesian doesn't maintain their spas at all.  Their filled spas are dirty inside and out - full of calcium deposits/chunks and dead bugs.   :P
