Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you have come across a good mobile setup for vacuuming fine debris in your pool?
Background:
I run a small service company and my employees are running into water level issues while vacuuming. Many of our pools have fine sediments precipitating on the pool floor. 90% or more of my clients use sand filters which typically won’t trap this fine debris while vacuuming through filter so they often vacuum to waste which throws off water chemistry after having to refill every week. This creates repetitive cycle of algae growth as well and seems to be getting my guys stuck in a loop.
Also, water level is often to low to vac to waste so having a standalone system is very useful.
I built a standalone pump and cartridge filter for one of my veteran guys to test and it works great but is clunky and hard to load on trucks. I’m trying to develop an idea for a small cartridge with a leaf canister pre-filter that will be compact and potentially be able to integrate with existing equipment if need via vac hose. Anyone have a compact, and easy to use system for vacuuming fine debris without trying on sand filters?
