Bullfrog electric usage
bud16415:
What voltage, wire size and length did you run? The only way to really tell is have an electrician put a amp meter on the wire and measure current draw with it running with and without the heater running. Then if things seem right you are looking at heat loss. What temp do you have the tub set at?
A sign of heat loss would be snow melting on the cover in some areas. Mine the snow on the cover looks just like the snow on my deck.
You can buy a hand held infrared sensor that are now not that expensive or pay one of the window companies a few bucks to bring out their house scanner and take some thermal image photos of your tub. That will pinpoint every heat leak.

Completely agree. People can either love or hate Hot Spring but they are the industry leader in that aspect when talking the Highlife series. BF makes a lot of claims on there site that are great for marketing purposes but doesn’t mean they are completely true. I think they are a great tub but they go overboard on their claims

There is a theory of law that I believe in, that kind of goes like this. If someone is on the stand giving testimony and you catch them in one single lie, it is then within your rights to assume everything they say or claim is a lie at that point.
I put faith in that rule many times when making up my mind about lots of things, hot tubs included. I have no way of proving their image is true or not that’s why I called it a BF claim. If you guys have proof this claim is not true someone should do something about it.
It is not a case of stretching the truth or puffing or going overboard about their product. They are saying something about facts as they claim to be true. If that picture is not true then it is a lie. If it is a lie I’m free to conclude everything is a lie if I want to.
