Has your cabana boy, Sergio, been shirking his aquatic responsibilities, sipping Mai Tais and tanning rather than skimming leaves? Well, pool possessors, it can be time to fireplace the laggard and replace him with the brand new Polaris 9300xi Sport. This newest Polaris poolbot could be programmed to accomplish its janitorial duties for as much as six hours at a time of your choosing, and has a handheld remote control for spot-specific scrubbing. Not just that, it combines water-jet propulsion with wheels that could climb walls and steps to spruce up every nook and cranny of your backyard basin in true Spiderman-style. For sure, such underwater robotic wizardry doesn’t come cheap, because the 9300xi has an MSRP of $1499. That makes the iRobot Verro 500 and its $999 price seem like a robot bargain by comparison, however it’s still cheaper than Sergio, right?
Platform Extension to the preferred, Award-Winning 9300 Sport Line Offers Handheld remote control Drive and Programmability
SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Polaris division of Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. this season introduces the main advanced robotic pool cleaning technology, the Polaris 9300xi Sport, complementing the corporate’s Polaris 9300 Sport model. Polaris has increased production capacity on both its 9300 robotic platform model and the platform extension, Polaris 9300xi Sport, owing to overwhelming demand.
“For patrons not lucky enough to have a Polaris pressure cleaner pre-installed, that’s their chance to possess a Polaris and feature their pools cleaned safely and effortlessly. Plus, they’re really sleek looking cleaners; customers enjoy sitting at the sidelines and watching them work!”
In year one release in the course of the 2010 season, the Polaris 9300 Sport captured nearly 20% market share and sold out early, prompting the corporate to extend production capacity for 2011. The award-winning, innovative and user-friendly 9300 Sport line cleaners make pool cleaning safe and effortless, capturing greater than four times the debris load of different cleaners and maneuvering tight corners, walls and steps. Designed after the look of the Bugatti, the famed European sports car, the 9300 platform is sleek and strong, and provides consumers quite a lot of innovative features and benefits.
New features of the Polaris 9300xi Sport include:
Hand-held IntelliNav handheld remote control for spot and express cleaning
Aggressive scrubbing brush that reinforces tile and pool floor cleaning
Longer cable to wash as much as a 60 foot long pool
Programmable cleaning time, as much as six hours, for energy efficiency and performance
Features shared by both the Polaris 9300xi Sport and the Polaris 9300 Sport are:
Patented Vortex vacuum technology that maximizes vacuum power without losing suction and captures more debris
Easy-access quick release filter canister for emptying of debris without touching it
Faster navigation and enhanced agility to quickly clean pool floors, walls and tile line
All terrain Aqua-Trac wheels that supply stability and talent to climb walls and steps
Rear water propulsion system for hard to succeed in pool areas
Zodiac Pool Systems President Tony Prudhomme is happy with the 9300 platform’s inventiveness and benefits that it provides customers.
“Polaris continues to steer the industry in pool cleaner innovation and complex craftsmanship with the 9300 platform series; it represents the most effective-in-class robotic cleaning technology and embodies the advancements you predict from Polaris,” said Prudhomme. “For patrons not lucky enough to have a Polaris pressure cleaner pre-installed, it is their chance to possess a Polaris and feature their pools cleaned safely and effortlessly. Plus, they’re really sleek looking cleaners; customers enjoy sitting at the sidelines and watching them work!”
The Polaris 9300 platform cleaners go into the pool only when cleaning is needed as they aren’t attached to a stationary water outlet; therefore, pool owners can use the 9300 platform cleaners in any existing pool. Moreover, they’re so energy-efficient that they cost only pennies an afternoon to function. The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices are $1299 for the Polaris 9300 Sport and $1499 for the Polaris 9300xi Sport. Zodiac is offering a $100 consumer rebate at the 9300 Sport model and a $150 consumer rebate at the 9300xi Sport for purchases made April 1 through July 31, 2011.
