What is on my Pool Service Truck: Equipment That I am Currently Using on my Route

I am always testing new products and of course using old standby equipment on my pool service route. I always like to go over the current equipment I am so that you too can benefit from some great products.

I will start with my current vacuum systems. I have a Power Vac in my garage which in itself is an awesome vacuum system. The reason it is not currently on my truck is that I am still putting the Riptide Vacuum System to the test. This is a relatively new system but excellent. It has the same 30 lbs thrust motor found on the Power Vac and Hammer-Head Vacuum System and the shell of the Riptide is the main thing that puts it above the others. The vacuum head is made out of a durable plastic that comes with a 10-year warranty. So, you are getting a well build Vacuum System with the Riptide.

The Vacuum System I am using the most is the Bottom Feeder. It weighs just 12 lbs including the battery and has no cords. So it is not only light and compact but easy to use. Just connect it to your pool pole and drop it in. That easy. It has an 18 lbs thrust motor but is still plenty powerful for large piles of leaf debris. It also can be used with a cartridge adapter – basically a cartridge filter on top that allows it to vacuum down to 20 microns. The only drawback is that the battery is good for only 2 hours before needing to be recharged. All in all a great little portable vacuum system.

Currently, I am testing out the Primate Carbon Fiber Pool Poles and I am using all three versions. They make a 3X Tri-Pole, a 2X two-piece 8-16 ft pole and a small 6-11 ft pole called the 2X BETA. These are great poles that are super light, each weighs around 2 lbs. and the carbon fiber makes them 3 times stronger than aluminum. The price point is on the higher end due to the carbon fiber material. But if you are looking for a premium pool pole, look no further.

Here is a playlist featuring all the Primate Pool Poles:

I also use the Smart Company Power Pole which is a great 2-piece pole and the quick push lever lock button is excellent. The 2nd tube slides out so smoothly and locks into place in an instant. A great pole also. Most recently I have also been testing the Skimlite SnapLite pole which is very similar to the Power Pole. The version I am testing is the SnapLite 3617 Tri-Pole that extends from 6 ft to 17 ft. A great compact Tri-Pole with the excellent build quality of Skimlite. I am a bit of a pool pole junky and I have close to a dozen different poles in my garage at this time.

I really like the Water Tech Battery operated vacuums and I am always trying out their latest homeowner version. Currently, I am using their new Hydro 500 which is an excellent cleaner. It features their new cone design with the expanded debris chamber and exceptional power. Of course I am still using Precision 2.0 and it is going on 2 years now and still working great. With the sand silt bag, it can pick up algae dust as well as D.E. and is pretty amazing.

So the equipment on my truck is constantly changing as I try new products out. I will revisit my truck in 2020 and let you know how these are holding up and what I new equipment I am using.
