Is Spring the Best Time to Buy Pool Vacuum?

[jbailey895]

I'm in SoCal, and I have a rectangular in-ground pool (deepest 5' in middle.) I have a retractable pool cover that keeps the pool pretty clean. My PoolCleaner (suction-based) is dying and cannot get out of the deep end,(or chooses not to.)
I know robots are polarizing; I have called Marina in the past. With spring approaching, is it better to wait until March to grab a pool cleaner/robot? I have read many threads of the problems with the robots (corded or not) but I am optimistic they would work well for my lighter-use situation.

Any suggestions for the best way to keep my pool clean, and whether to wait or shop now?

Thanx.

Historically, right about now was the time to buy anything.

The last couple years it was better to have the item if/when available than to wait for a possible sale and get a shortage or price increase instead.

*disclaimer, if I knew the future I'd be playing lotto for a living. I'd also buy you your robot with a sliver of my winnings

I don't remember any great discounts based on the time of the year.

Thanks,

Just FYI, I ultimately purchased an A20 from Marina for $859 (no tax or shipping.)

Who is Marianna?

Marina pool and spa in CO. Margaret or Seth there are our go to people for robots.

You have to call on the telephone (remember those???) to be considered an 'in person' sale for the warranty and best price. She ships fast and for free.

Are you positive they don't charge tax? That's really surprising
