Show us your Hot Tub. / Finally got around to pictures of our new Bullfrog A6L Select (310 gal)

We started off with a challenge, in that my wife had strong skin sensitivity to Bromine. It took a while to be convinced that switching to chlorine would get rid of her skin sensitivity issue. It sure did! Woo Hoo, now she can enjoy it too. That was a big scare for a while. Anyway, here are the pictures. We have been without a coverlifter, but our Covermate Zero is due to arrive tomorrow! Yea!

Initially, I had the hot tub oriented turned 180º, so the (eventual) coverlifter would fold the cover towards the fence, not blocking the views in the other three directions. But my wife wanted privacy from our deck side of the tub because the neighbor on opposite (not fence side) has dementia and gawks. So when I drained the tub to change from Bromine to Chlorine, I rotated the tub 180º, so the cover would stand up on that side. We miss a little bit of view north over the water, but not worth her creeped out factor, so the early water drain/refill had a good second purpose to spin the tub!

I did a cursory look. In a tough place to troubleshoot. One side not available. I’ll look a little closer to see if I can find anything.

Well, that is for the convenience of the dealers tech. Water leaks can be tricky especially in a full foam tub. I'm sure they want to charge you for removing and reinstalling the tub as well as the cost to fix it.

Have you got any idea where it's leaking from? I would open it up and pull the panels to look for the leak. It could be a jet, it could be a line in the tub, pump, etc. If you can find the source, it might be an easy fix.

Hot Spring Spas / Leaking tub

10 year old Grandee has a slow leak. Loses about 2-3” of water a week. Dealer said they would have to take it into the shop. Anyone with experience with this?

While price is a significant factor, especially with such substantial differences, considering the experience and reputation of the dealer is wise. It's crucial to weigh the potential savings against the assurance of reliable service and support over the warranty period. Given Bullfrog's reputation for quality, saving $2,000 to $3,000 might be reasonable, but a larger discount of $5,000 or 30% could warrant taking a chance. Ultimately, ensuring service availability beyond the warranty is essential for long-term peace of mind.

I generally like using a clear hose and the siphoning method.

We have the same method.

 Sounds like you're knee-deep in spa maintenance! If the replacement jets aren't staying in place, it might be worth looking into different styles that could fit your Sundance Cameo. Sometimes, certain styles just work better with specific models.

Have you checked with a local spa dealer or searched online for compatible jet options? They might have some advice or alternative styles that could solve your jet troubles.
