As you know TFP does not have advertisers, nor do we normally allow marketing from outside sources. But I received an email today from one of my trusted suppliers that I would like to share, as it provides an insight into some of their supply chain issues.
"Hi Guys,
Hope all is well and you've had a great summer! I wanted to let TFP members know about Maytronics pool cleaners and Pentair salt cells and equipment for next season. Supply is getting better but still not great so somethings will still be hard to find and price increases are expected to be significant - somewhere in the range of 10-20% in some cases. Maytronics parts are still hit and miss but they've just moved their US facilities to a larger warehouse so fingers crossed that things will get better soon!
I've got a good supply of Maytronics Active 20, 30, 40 and 60 cleaners and a handful of Explorer E70 cleaners at last seasons price but once these are gone, they could be anywhere from $50-$250 more.
Salt cells and related equipment will be a huge challenge next year. I JUST got 1/4 of my 2021 order of cells if you can believe but I do have some if your members want to pre-plan for next season. Pricing will still be at 2021 levels for what is in stock now but will go up significantly if/when Pentair has more to ship.
Thanks so much for all your continued support. I can't tell you how many people we refer to your site and how many awesome clients you of course send our way! EVERYONE raves about you, but you already know that.
You guys are the best!
