I haven't searched to see what the strangest request has been for Deal Finder, but I've got one for you funny guys: find me a good deal on an above-ground pool pump (need to replace a Jacuzzi Landslide LS55). :gd_detect

*Cue Jeopardy theme song*

Local plumbing store :) maybe they have an open box or discounted last years model?

Also ask if they offer a discount if you pay with cash/check (instead of credit card).

wow, ross is really stretching for that one, lol.

Heh - I got Ross stumped! :D

Seriously... anyone? Brad? Anyone with a pool? :)

Haven't found any deals on that model specifically... but man... those pumps are expensive.

The landslide LS55 looks like a filtration system to me... not the pump.

I'd like to see you do better :fedora:

The local pool place here always sends discount coupons around this time of the year for previous pool customers, but that won't help you.

I know in the past when I checked for pool stuff online, it was always better to buy locally because of shipping charges, especially for something heavy like a pump. I'll look and see if I can find anything online.

Sounds like a challenge

Eureka!

Find a Home Depot or Lowe's 10% off coupon.

Ok what do I win?

If you don't mind waiting 4-5 weeks for a 10% off coupon here are two links:

http://www.homedepot.com/tenpercent

http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=topicSelect&topic=newMovers (warning: enable pop ups!)

I'm thinking that if you sign up for the lowes movers coupon,they will email you a printable coupon within a few days.I did this back in november when we moved and that's what they did for me.It does however expire in a short time after you recieve the email(around 30 days or so).I've also bought these on ebay too.I just look around for the ones for a couple dollars or less with a small shipping fee.

Does anyone know for a fact that any of the big box hardware stores even carry pool pumps?

big box?
I take it that's another word for lowes,home depot,etc...
I'm not too sure that they do,I was just there today buying a new weed eater thinking it would have been nice to have had another coupon to at least cover the taxes in our area.I did look around a little and come to think of it,I don't recall seeing any pool supplies.

Probably not.

You're good. :)

It's actually a combo unit (filter + pump), but I thought I'd make it simpler for Deal Finder, seeing as I can't even get any hits! :D

And no, hardware stores don't usually carry pool pumps.

You try doing a search on ebay looking within 100 miles so you can pick it up and save the shipping?

Nope - trying to avoid going through there. :)

Naw, I had one guy have me find him a Turtle pool thing for his backyard LOL!

Okay give me specifics and price ranges and I'll see what I can dig up Cause all I'm finding is parts and parts is parts when I don't know what the hell I'm looking for ;)

Found one for $374 here:

Yep, I found that one too. Looking around locally for now... these things don't come cheap. :(

This time of year, the local pool companies start to run great sales, so check your weekend paper. Great way to pick up chemicals too- those pre-season sales generally have the best prices till the end of August, and any pool wner knows that chemicals add up in $. Also- I assume you realize that you do not have to replace the pump with the same model; just make sure the hp is the same (as long as you are happy with your current filtration system).
