Bullfrog vs Artesian
Looking at Bullfrog Spas in Spokane?
You are comparing premium tubs because you want massage you can feel every night—not a cabinet badge. Bullfrog’s JetPak system lets you swap seat modules; that is genuine flexibility. On Artesian Elite and Island Elite layouts, DirectFlow lets each seat set intensity without swapping hardware. Call Steam Oasis to match a layout to how you actually soak.
Typical architecture versus Artesian catalog facts
| What to compare | Bullfrog (typical) | Artesian at Steam Oasis |
|---|---|---|
| Seat control | Snap-in JetPak modules so each back can change over time | DirectFlow personal control on Elite and Island Elite—intensity per seat without module swaps |
| Jet feel | Jets live in interchangeable plates fed from shared plumbing | Helix polished stainless jets on Elite and Island; spiral flow aimed at deeper tissue relief |
| Insulation | Full foam inside the cabinet is a common talking point | Full-foam polyurethane with an ABS bottom seal on Elite and Island (catalog) |
| Structure warranty | Terms vary by series—ask that dealer for the current sheet | Lifetime structure on Elite and Island; surface, parts, and cabinet terms vary by series |
| Local next step | Other Spokane-area dealers carry Bullfrog | Steam Oasis office on East Greenleaf Drive—call or email to schedule |

What JetPaks are for
Modular seat backs let a household change therapy later without buying a new spa. The tradeoff is extra plumbing behind those plates—shared manifolds and more connection points. That can be the right call if swapping modules is the feature you will actually use.
How DirectFlow is different
On Artesian Elite and Island Elite, DirectFlow pairs spaTouch (or the Elite topside) with seat-level intensity so one soaker is not stuck with everyone else’s blast. Helix jets spiral water instead of a single-direction shot. Open Pelican Bay for a large open layout, or Captiva for an Island lounge, then call with questions the brochure skips.
Spokane winters and service
Full foam plus an ABS bottom seal is how Elite and Island hold heat when motors idle. After you buy, Steam Oasis handles delivery, startup, water testing, and warranty claims locally—no outsourced contractor network. We do not wet-test every model on the floor; we help you compare layouts in the office and catalog.
Fair take
Bullfrog wins if interchangeable JetPaks are the feature you came for. Artesian is the better fit if you want seat-by-seat control, Helix jet feel, and lifetime structure coverage on Elite and Island without chasing a module ecosystem. Steam Oasis only sells Artesian—this page is here so you can decide with the facts we can stand behind.
