Welcome to our forum.
That looks pretty interesting to me too, Bill. Can you share your web site? I have a filter wand and it is OK, but much better for cleaning my paint brushes than filters.Thanks
I think there are valid reasons to buy online. I do like to show support, but sometimes mark ups are just too high. Compare it to buying a car. How many people actually do ALL of their service at the dealer. Oil changes, wiper replacements, etc. Some items are just unreasonable at the dealer. I am all for paying for periodic preventative maintenance but again I can't turn a blind eye and knowingly pay 2 or 3 times norm. For example, I just paid $26 for a container of Leisure Time Renew. It's available online for $12 - $15. To me $11-14 more is way to high to pay continuously. I paid it cause I needed it right away. If it was $18 - $20 in store then it would have been more reasonable and I would consider to buy it there instead of online. Again, I do support dealer for other accessories and service but there are indeed valid reasons to buy online. IMHO, paying the huge markup is just throwing good money away.
So the people that go online for chems...You find it ok to go to your dealer with jets coming out due to water balance issues or call your dealer for advice on water quality issues but you don't want to buy from them? I cost's them for you to have that support yet you want them to work for free the rest of the time. So to make it fair you want a deal on the spa that is so good the dealer doesn't make money, you don't want to pay for any trip fees, you don't want to have any incidental charges of any kind during your ownership and you want free advice. Sorry, this is just a major frustration to me...Support your dealer so they can support you!
