We made it back and, I must say, it is always great to get back home.
I had a great time at Interzoo but now it's back to work. Today was spent going through the new prices and the expected arrivals of the new products. Here is a tentative schedule of new product availability in the US. These are just for the new products and this is just tentative but hopefully this will help answer some of the questions I received via email, while I was away.
The new packaging for the Elos Test kits has started to be shipped out and you should see a mixture of the new and previous packaging at your Elos dealers. As I mentioned, the current line of kits received new packaging in order to make room for the 2 new "professional line" kits (Potassium and Phosphate). The new Professional line kits will be shipped to the US next week, so they should be available for pre-sale, ordering and delivery within the next 1-3 weeks. All sites and stores are different with this, so contact your nearest dealer for details.
Elos Professional PO4 (Phosphate) Test Kit $47.99
Elos Professional K (Potassium) Test Kit $36.99
The Elos MIDI will be available in approximately 30-45 days and you can call Elos USA for details on ordering. The MIDI with the E-LITE XP will be available for a short time at $1999.99 and then will be $2299.00 after that. THe MIDI with the AquaTop E-Stripe (2x E-Stripes included, 2 more can be added) will be $2499.99 for a limited time and $2999.99 after the introductory offer expires. I will likely be limited to receiving a small amount at the introductory price, so it is best to call if you are interested in purchasing at these prices. The MIDI will come with the E-LITE XP or the AquaTop E-Stripe and will be available in a new finish on the door for all the standard colors (wenge, black, white, grey). The SUMP will be the same as used in the system 70 and the pumps will be Sicce pumps for the skimmer and the return pump. The skimmer will be the NS100 and you can also upgrade to the NS500 for an additional $300.00.
The MIDI with Aquatop E-Stripe ($2499.99 introductory price, $2999.99 regular price), the MIDI Freshwater with E-lite Freshwater($1699.00), The MIDI with E-LITE XP ($1999.99 introductory price, 2299.00 regular price). From front to back.
The new Elos lighting options will be available in approximately 45 days and this includes:
AquaTop E-STRIPE will come in a long and short and can fit up to 4 E-STRIPES. We will offer this with 3x Stripes for a limited time for $1029.99 for the short and $1539.99 for the long.
This fixture will be available in a couple of months and it was made as a lower cost Elos light, as many have requested. We showed this light over a small display and this was a 1x150w with 2- 8 led stripes on each side for supplement. I do not have pricing on it yet, but I will soon. We also had a longer version that will likely fit 2x250W and 2- 15 LED strips. I think this will be a very nice alternative for those who want a slim, less expensive fixture from Elos, who prefer MH lighting. This light nameis the E-LUXE and the one at Interzoo was a prototype that is near finished but we will add/remove a few things before it ships. The LEDs in place of standard T5s is the most obvious feature but there are a few other key design features that I will share when it is ready to ship.
That is it for now. I have a ton of pictures to go through and I have tons more information to share about the new products. Over the next few days I will be talking with Elos dealers and they should be able to help you out with any questions that you may have until my next blog post.
