Installation and Setup
Before attempting to install or use your spa, please read 
Important Safety Instructions as well as all the installation 
instructions that follow.
Site Selection and Preparation
Your home most likely offers multiple sites where your spa may 
be installed. Use the information presented in this section to 
assist you in carefully selecting the site that works best for you. 
It is your responsibility to choose and prepare the site properly 
before delivery, so you will experience a smooth and efcient 
delivery as well as obtain optimal use and full enjoyment of 
your spa. 
Environment
Surroundings: The direction that your spa will be facing will 
contribute to your overall bathing experience. Select 
the spa location that will provide optimal views based on 
your property layout. Consider your lifestyle and where you 
want to enjoy your spa and situate it accordingly. Indoor 
installations provide privacy, but create high levels of 
humidity (see Indoor Considerations). If your spa is outside, 
a nearby place for you and your guests to change clothes 
is a huge convenience. Also, a location near a house entry is 
convenient in areas with extreme winter climates. 
Spa & Yard
™
 Stereo: Marine-grade stereo and CD player 
with spa-side controls and Bose
®
 speakers. Listen to your 
favorite CDs or radio station in your spa or in the yard. NOTE: 
This option is not available on the Bullfrog 331, Tadpole 251, or 
Tadpole 362.
CoverMate-I Cover Lifter: Makes uncovering and 
covering your spa simple and easy. While you are using your 
spa, your cover is neatly stored behind the spa, providing a 
useful privacy screen. 
WellSpring
™
 Ozone Purier: Nature’s way for the cleanest 
spa water. Supplement the chemical treatment of your spa 
and improve the spa’s water quality by adding a Standard or 
High-Output Ozone Purier. IMPORTANT: Your spa was 
designed, tested, and safety listed with either a Bullfrog CDS-
16 (standard) or MCD-50 (high-output) ozone purier. No 
other ozone purier is recommended for your Bullfrog Spa.  
 WARNING: The use of any other Ozone Purier will void the 
safety listing on your spa. NOTE: The High-Output Ozone 
option is not available on the Tadpole 251 or Tadpole 362. 
 WARNING: Use of any High-Output Ozone system in a 
Tadpole Hot Tub can cause serious damage to the appliance 
and/or possible health risks from inhalation of ozone gas.
LED Lighting System: A must for nighttime fun and for 
creating just the right mood. In addition to considerably 
outlasting and outshining 12V spa lights, our LED Lighting 
System provides eight unique color schemes as well as an 
automatic color changing program.
