Swim currentPartlyOnly the E-Series swims on Hydrodrive, a hydraulic propeller; the X and R Series use airless jets, the R's from one two-speed pump.PartlyTwo swim jets and five speeds; Bullfrog publishes no current strength, width or pump size.
Room to swimPartlyNot on the product pages, but 2019-2020 drawings show 6.5 to 11.5 feet of open lane (on the 20-footers, measured to the divider).Not publishedBullfrog doesn't publish this.
Frame and shellPartlyE- and X-Series sit on a 14-gauge galvanized steel frame over an ABS base pan; the cheaper R-Series is wood-framed.PartlyA molded plastic frame and base that can't rot; how it holds the long walls isn't published.
Site prepYesEndless requires a 6-inch reinforced slab or a deck rated over 250 lb/sq ft, and 60 A for E and X models, 30 A for R.YesA 4-inch reinforced slab or engineered deck, one 50-amp circuit, and usually a crane.
Running costPartlyCalifornia lists Endless's single-zone models at 351 to 501 standby watts, 70 to 84% of the limit; the insulation isn't described.YesFull-foam cabinets; California's tests put the S150 and S180XD at 52 to 65 percent of their standby limits.
Dual zoneYesThe 20-foot E2000 and X2000 pair a 15-foot swim side with a 5-foot hot tub, each zone with its own heater and controls.PartlyNo dual-zone model: seats and swim lane share one body of water at one temperature.
Service accessPartlyPanels lift off and Endless asks for 2 feet of clearance, but the E-Series propeller needs scheduled hydraulic overhauls.YesKeep all four sides open: the pumps, heater and a mainstream Gecko control pack sit behind removable panels.
Warranty termsPartlyE and X Series: 10 years no-leak shell and 5 on parts and labor, but only 2 on the Hydrodrive.PartlyLifetime frame and 10-year leak-free shell, but you pay removal, cranes and late freight, and it ends if you sell or move it.
Cover and lifterPartlyCover and lifter cost extra on every model; Endless sells a polyester-fabric foam cover it says is 60% lighter than vinyl.PartlyA locking cover is included and warranted 3 years; the lifters cost extra and can get in the way of the swim tether.
Service and originPartlySold and serviced through about 250 dealers; Endless doesn't say where its swim spas are built.PartlyBuilt in Bluffdale, Utah; service comes through dealers and factory stores, and some owners report slow repairs.

Verdict: Endless Pools suits swimmers who want a propeller current (4 models), published swim-area sizes (6 of 9 models) and a separate hot tub zone (2 models). Bullfrog suits swimmers who want lower standby power (a 330 W median against 462 W).

No manufacturer pays us. How we make money

How is the swim current made in Endless Pools and Bullfrog swim spas?

Endless Pools uses a propeller in 4 models (E-Series) and jets in 5 (R-Series and X-Series). Bullfrog uses jets in 3 models (Swim Series).

A propeller turns behind a grate and pushes one wide column of water. Jets fire water through a few nozzles, often with air mixed in, so the current is narrower and more broken up. What you feel is the width and steadiness of the water, not the horsepower on the spec sheet. The guide to swim spa jets vs propeller explains the trade-offs.

Which gives you more room to swim?

Endless Pools publishes the open swim area for 6 of its 9 models; the longest is 137.5 by 81 in, on the E550. Bullfrog publishes outside dimensions only, so ask the dealer how long the open water is.

Outside lengths run 12 ft to 20 ft for Endless Pools and 12 ft 8 in to 17 ft for Bullfrog. By length class, Endless Pools has 2 in the 12-foot class, 4 in the 14-foot class and 3 in the 16-foot class; Bullfrog has 1 in the 12-foot class, 1 in the 14-foot class and 1 in the 16-foot class. At the dealer, lie out in an empty display of the model you would buy, arms overhead: your feet shouldn't reach the seats. See swim spa sizes, 12-foot swim spas, 14-foot swim spas and 16-foot swim spas, and best swim spas for lap swimming.

Water held runs 1,080 to 2,395 gallons for Endless Pools and 1,190 to 1,950 for Bullfrog. More water means more to heat, treat and carry: have a builder or engineer check the pad or deck for the filled weight.

What electrical service do Endless Pools and Bullfrog swim spas need?

Endless Pools' models call for 30 to 60 A in total on 1 circuit; Bullfrog's call for 50 A on 1 circuit. The top of each range is the X2000 and the S200. A licensed electrician sizes the circuits for the model you buy. See swim spa electrical requirements.

Which uses less power on standby?

Bullfrog, on the filings we matched: a median 462 W for Endless Pools' 7 filed models against 330 W for Bullfrog's 3. That is about 337 and 241 kWh a month just holding temperature. Length and cover change the figure, so compare the model you would buy. The swim spa running cost guide explains the test.

How do Endless Pools and Bullfrog swim spa warranties compare?

Endless Pools' structure warranty runs 10 years, equipment 3 to 5 years; coverage does not transfer. Bullfrog's structure warranty runs 10 years, equipment 5 years; coverage does not transfer. Read the warranty card for labor and the swim system itself, which some makers cover for less time than the shell.
