Down to 3 tubs any advice Sundance Lay-z-boy and Bullfrog
Andocrx:
HI all,
So we wet tested the Both the Sundance Optima and the Bull Frog A8L.
Both were very nice but I think we would give the Edge to the Optima when it come to the over all hydrotherapy we are looking for.
But from a built stand point the Bull Frog was a way better made tub in my opinion seemed like it will last a long time.
The optima in the tub cabinet frame and corner pieces had a lot of wood which did not even look like pressure treated Something to think about as I am sure short term it will not be an issue but long term with it being outside and ever being a chance for a leak makes me a little scared with the wood rotting.
Here are the quoted pricing we got on the Tubs Seem very high to me:
Optima $18,500 plus tax which comes to $20,950 with everything delivery cover, lifter and steps.
Bull Frog A8 very same price as above with delivery etc
Bull Frog A7 $16500 plus tax comes to $18,645 delivery cover etc all these prices are in Canadian Dollars.
whats your thoughts

That is a little high on the Bullfrog if my conversion to usd is correct. About a grand or so. If you play hardball maybe more, though importing into Canada probably is what accounts for the difference.

Sam, ok but what can you say about hot tubs pregnancy issue? What I mean ... would it be ok for girl or woman during the pregnancy to take her time in hot tub or some kind of jacuzzi? Are there any temperature suggestions or restrictions? Or you can say only about technical part of hot tubs? My sister loves hot tubs, but she doesn't want to harm a baby, as well as her own wellness.

--- Quote ---A while back I suggested a pinned topic for those who come here for help finding their way through the buying process/ I could be missing something here but it would essentially be - Find out what brands are represented in your area and limit your information input to strictly those brands, research the dealer's reputability and eliminate those with poor reputations, visit the showroom of the brands and dealers you are comfortable with, and wet test. From there, seek out more input on what you like, because regardless of what anyone says about any specific brand or model, if the hot tub simply is not comfortable to you - the purchaser - you're not going to purchase it.

Exactly, sir.
Sometimes ordinary people, who deal with hot tubs for the first time - simply need some more info about it.
About all the options they can get purchasing one or another hot tub, you know.

I believe I've seen comments that it should be ok if the water temp is kept at typical body temperature and no higher but the only person whose opinion matters in this regard is her doctor who I assume she is meeting with regularly throughout her pregnancy.
