Should be interesting to see what comes of this, if anything. Merger is set to close in the first half of this year:

Fluidra and Zodiac announce merger to create a global leader in the pool industry - Fluidra es invertir en agua

I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of 2018 we see blue and black/silver Aquabots with Jandy or Polaris stickers on them, or Polaris pressure cleaners that have Aquabot stickers.

Just found this thread, I work for Zodiac. We did merge with Fluidra, it was mutual and at some point in 2019 Zodiac will be a brand, just like Polaris, Jandy and etc. we will be changing our name to Fluidra and our location here in California will be the US Headquarters. I would not expect to see changes in branding of product that soon. Polaris is a well established brand worldwide for Pressure Cleaners and Fluidra prior had no Pressure Cleaners at all. We were a global company prior but together the new Fluidra is even more global in new markets. Fluidra, aside from Aquaproducts, really did not have a strong foothold in the US, that will now change not just cleaners but all other products under the umbrella.

Just as a side note, "Watertech" is not owned by Fluidra, they just sell private label branded cleaners that Aquaproducts make's for them.
