The A7L is 88 x 88 in, about 54 sq ft and 36 in tall; filled, it weighs 5,117 lb, about 95 lb per sq ft before anyone gets in. Leave room around the tub for the cover lifter and the service panel, and have a builder check any deck for the filled weight plus people. See hot tub sizes, hot tub weight and what to put a hot tub on.

What electrical hookup do the A6L and A7L need?

The A6L runs on 240V with a 50 A breaker. The A7L runs on 240V. The table lists amperage and breaker as each maker prints them. A licensed electrician sizes the circuit and the GFCI protection for the model you buy. See hot tub electrical requirements.

Do the A6L and A7L carry the same warranty?

Bullfrog A6L: 10 years on the shell structure, 7 years on the shell surface, 5 years on the equipment, 5 years on the plumbing and 5 years on the cabinet.

Read the warranty card before you sign: labor after year one, travel charges, and whether coverage moves to a second owner. The hot tub warranty comparison lines up every brand.

What do the A6L and A7L sell for?

Bullfrog Spas posts only a series range for the A6L and A7L: $12,095–$26,395 (maker's A Series starting prices, Oct 2026). Delivery, the pad, the electrician and the cover lifter are extra. Each model's price and where it comes from: Bullfrog A6L price and Bullfrog A7L price.

Which costs less to run, the A6L or the A7L?

The A6L, by 14 W on standby, about $1.86 a month. Standby is what a tub draws to hold its temperature with the cover on and nobody in it. California tests it the same way for every spa sold in the state, so it is the fairest running-cost figure we have.

The A6L draws 193 W in California's standby test (filed at 314 gallons), about 141 kWh and $25.63 a month at the U.S. average rate. 34% of the 123 filed tubs its size draw more; their median is 182 W.

The A7L draws 207 W in California's standby test (filed at 408 gallons), about 151 kWh and $27.49 a month at the U.S. average rate. 70% of the 107 filed tubs its size draw more; their median is 218 W.

Costs use the U.S. average residential rate of 18.19¢ a kWh (January to July 2026, EIA). Your own rate, climate and how often you use the jets change the bill. Hot tub running cost works it out by state, and measured standby watts lists every filed model.

What to check in the showroom

  • Sit in both, dry is fine, in the seat you would use most. On a running display tub, feel the jets with the back of your hand. Seat depth and where the jets land matter more than the count.
  • Climb in and out: step height and the lounger's length suit some bodies and not others.
  • Ask for each model's California Energy Commission listing and the warranty card.
  • Lie back in the lounger, dry is fine. If your feet don't reach the end of the footwell or your head sits low, it will not suit you.
