Jandy’s company still exists?
On September 28, Zodiac Pool Systems declared that as of January 1, 2019, it would no longer permit the online sale of its Jandy Pro Series equipment. Online purchases won’t be covered by the company’s warranty, and the equipment must be installed and/or serviced by a certified pool technician. Valves, components, and accessories will be the lone exception.
“According to Michelle Kenyon, vice president of marketing at Zodiac/Fluidra, “Trade professionals are the backbone of our industry with the training and skills, knowledge and know-how to prescribe to consumers the solutions that are applicable for their particular pool.” “We really feel that the pool professional is the best option for our company, brand, and product range.
“According to Bryan Banta, second generation owner of B&B Pools, a pool service, remodeling, and repair business in Pompano Beach, Florida, “we receive calls on a fairly regular basis asking us, or rather telling us, I can purchase this on Amazon for this price.” “Usually, it costs less than I can pay for it from a store. At that moment, the customer no longer believes in me. Zodiac and Jandy, in my opinion, understand it. They’ve been building their programs in a way to aid us and provide us ways to be successful since they understand that service companies require support in this area.
Two goods from Jandy’s Trade Series Exclusive line, which could only be purchased through the trade and not online, were introduced in 2014. More goods were added to the Trade Series every year. There were up to 31 skus in 2018. “And as 2018 gave way to 2019, we decided to all-in, according to Kenyon. “Over the course of several years, our core team has been developing and working on this.
Since Jandy Pro Series is the trademark for all of its products, this new regulation applies to all Jandy products.
Zodiac and Baracuda are they equivalent?
Early in the 1980s, BARACUDA was introduced with a cutting-edge diaphragm technology, setting it apart from its rivals by providing a quieter operation and improved maneuverability. Today’s disc suction pool cleaners continue to utilise BARACUDA’s diaphragm technology.
A native Australian started importing and marketing BARACUDA in 1986 from a business in Frenchs Forest, New South Wales.
