HOLY CRAP!!!! TMAN WAS RIGHT! But Bullfrog is all about having choices.... even with Kool-Aid flavors!  ;)

Congratulations! So glad you got it and didn't have to wait very long for the replacement.

It looks awesome - can't wait to hear your initial soaking impressions! :)

  Looks great!    Curious why they shrink wrapped the old spa?

Nice! Congrats on the new Bullfrog!!! my eyes are bad, is that Blue w/ white JetPaks? BYU colors? or is it Blue with Titanium? can't tell

Its the Sapphire with Titanium jetpacks.  Lighting was bad, cell phone camera, etc... will have to take a pic with a real camera in the morning sun, I think it looks pretty cool.

And the shrink wrap on the old tub was me, we wrapped it with pallet wrap because there was still loose foam bits and even some rodent mess.  After a dozen leaks, I gave up on it and didn't bother trying to put it back together.  My neighbor has the same tub, he gutted it for spare parts.  I wrapped it so no foam bits would blow out on the highway while they were transporting it. Didn't want to litter.

We are enjoying it nearly every evening and keep wondering why I messed with that old tub for so long before just getting a new one.  It's better than the old tub ever was.  Definitely an upgrade.

Very Nice!!!

Bullfrogs are nice.

I did wonder do you actually do end up switching jet packs on seats on the fly or does that get too cumbersome once filled or you are in the water?

Enjoy!!

PS: I'm very new at this. I was instructed to fill up water through the filter hole. I noticed that you were filling up directly on the tub. I'm guessing its different with Bullfrogs?

Sometimes the jetpacks get swapped.  My daughter is short.. so if she wants to use the neckblaster, she moves it to the shallow seat.  But other than that, we've pretty much decided where we like them.  But we certainly did move them around from where the factory put them.

And the pumps primed up just fine after filling it like that, so doesn't seem to matter on this one.

On any brand it is possible to get air stuck in the filter housing below the water. This can cause an airlock situation. While never necessary to fill through the filter housing it is always a good idea.
