Pool Sweep Pricing Question

[tyandnikki]

It looks like some of the sites include a booster pump and some do not, I think this accounts for the bulk of the difference.

Okay...after looking again I couldn't find the prices I found before (don't know what I did before), but I still found a difference in price for the Polaris 280.

For example on Amazon the Polaris 280 is $429.00 with $14.00 shipping and on intheswim for $599.00. Those are both without the booster pump. That seems to me like quite a price difference. The local pool place prices are in line with intheswim for the same product.

Look closely at the Amazon prices again. Sometimes it will list things that are used. I wonder if the one you saw on there was not new?

That was for the new one on Amazon. I still think I am going to go through in the swim though. I am too skeptical of the low prices.

Plus, I am going to be ordering a new diving board, test kit and the sweep. The more that I have thought about it, I think I feel more confortable going with a "known" pool website and getting everything all at one place.

Thanks for everyone's help.

I ended up getting the Polaris 280 at my local pool place. I decided I would rather spend it locally and they have the parts and can service it when needed.

Thanks for the help.
