More Info needed!
Is this a business you're in or plan on getting in? You looking to clean a lot or a few?
A suction side manual vac, a 3/4 or 1 hp pump and a large cartridge filter are the basics. Stick the pump and the filter on a cart and off you go.

I am in on the small side of it and looking to become more involved. i am cleaning 5 pools right now but the commercial vacs are why out of my leagu
e.the description you gave me is what i thought.
thanks,
You may be able to find a filter and pump on Craigslist. That'd save you some money.
Here's mine that I built to use in my business. I use it nearly every week someplace. It's also great to use as an emergency filter for a pool that is down for pump/equipment repair. I've also left it running overnight at customer's pools to assist in clearing up dead algae floating in the water. It's great to use your own vacuum as that eliminates the possibility of clogging your customer's pipes which is always a danger.
The drawback is that it is heavy and somewhat cumbersome to move around. I used an AGP pool pump which requires you to prime it with a little water, but that has not been a big issue. When you need it, it's a great tool that every pool guy should have.

these systems are exactly what im trying to get my company to purchase but they want to mount it to a trailer hitch on a truck. anyone have any good ideas for this or know any prefabricated systems that have this option?
We use the hammerhead systems on our maintenance trucks. Customers love that we are not putting undue stress on their equipment vacuuming the pool. They are a great time saver, but do cost a lot up-front.
