Pentair vs Jandy Components: Price difference?

[PoolMyFinger818]

We are in the middle of construction, and we need to change from Pentair Components, to Jandy components due to supply issues. Out PB explained the Jandy components below are more expensive than the Pentair components, but he would cut us a break and do an even exchange. I always understood that Jandy components were less expensive. If you have a familiarity with component pricing, I would greatly appreciate your input - Do the Jandy components below in general cost a lot more, a lot less, or about the same as the Pentair components? Thanks

There may be insiders who chime in... I'm no expert, and don't have access to manufacturer's pricing, but I can say having been through the quote process with multiple PB's recently that the Jandy equivalent equipment does seem to be slightly higher priced. How much of that is PB markup vs manufacturer is anyone's guess. However, on average, it was about $2k more for the Jandy equipment vs the Pentair. That was 4 total quotes (2 Jandy and 2 Pentair).

Until the others were sold out and backordered indefinitely. Then the price of the available Jandys (? Jandies ? Jandii ?) went through the roof.
