Bullfrog has very long lead times (early 2022) so unless you get one that's unsold in the pipeline for your dealer, you are going to wait much longer than the Hot Springs. However, unless it's on the floor or in the pipeline, you are still looking at 6 months plus for the Hot Springs.

This is incorrect.  Dealers have been given a monthly allotment based upon previous years sales.  I can get a Bullfrog in May if I order today.  Every dealer is different.

What I said. If the dealer has one in the pipeline, you can get one somewhat quickly. When I walked into the Bullfrog dealer in Greensboro, NC (they are a large dealer with multiple locations) he had nothing that was coming in the next 6 months that wasn't sold. A new order 3 weeks ago was being quoted for an early 2022 delivery. I got the same story from the large Bullfrog dealer in Raleigh, nothing he has coming in on his allotment for the rest of the year is unsold and a new order was going to be early 2022.

The Artesian Nevis I bought was in the pipeline, which is why I can have it late March or early April. If I didn't like the shell color, etc. I was looking at late this year for a new order. fortunately for me, it was exactly the color tub and cabinet that I wanted with the options I wanted.

You really need to wet test each tub to make sure that you are comfortable in all seating positions. I know that these days it's difficult to do but it's important.

More importantly, is the dealer. Can they support you after the sale? Are you comfortable with that dealer?

FYI for others reading this, check with your local dealer and don't believe everything you read on the internet, not every Bullfrog dealer is out until 2022, I have slots in June, July, August of this year as example.  As far as the spas, both good manufacturers but make sure you wet test and see which you're most comfortable in, I do prefer the foot dome to a non foot dome spa especially in a spa of that size, helps prevent floating...good luck!

Just chiming in here.  I'm new to Hottubs and picked up a Caldera last October with a lounge.  I wouldn't discount it without trying it.  Yes it does tend to cause floating if your running the jets hard but when I'm looking for a deep tissue therapy a few minutes in the lounge is the best spot in the tub.  Plus we can turn down the lower jets to allow us to sink in the seat better and there's a handle next to it to help with staying put.  We've have room for 5 plus the lounger though nd there's usually just two of us.  Just wanted to say we're glad we have the option to use it.  Happy hottubbing.

I agree, I also like the foot dome, I have one in my Cal Spas and definitely helps with not floating away. Gives your feet a little purchase.
