Must Have Pool Tools

 Mickey's Quick Coupler:

Building 2- Piece Couplers

I make a 2-piece Coupler that fits the Pentair and Hayward Salt cells. It goes on in a minute without cutting or replumbing. It takes longer to break/cut the old one off!    I am making other sizes for different applications. I get requests from repair folks to build more, so I will keep after it! I am working on two new couplers that will replace a Hayward 200 and the 3200 couplers. The pool repair guys have been asking for those 2.

Multi-Tork:

I love the Multi-Tork Filter Socket set and use it on all my filters. They also make other great tools for your filter cleaning and multi-purpose tools for pool equipment. Here are some videos featuring their great products and where to purchase them.

Riptide

The Riptide Pool Vacuum System made its debut in late 2016. Since then, it has gone through several transformations. The Riptide Circa 2021 is the finest version yet, and it is packed with so many updated features it should have been called the Riptide SL 2.0. 

Here are some of the great updated features:

High Torque Motor (uses rare earth magnets) High Torque Motor- Our new one utilizes rare earth magnets, making it the most powerful vacuum on the market.

The cord -the new protective external layer –feels solid and durable.

Cord Clip – secures the cord to the cart, so there are no more worries of it falling off and dragging on the ground.

Stainless steel end plates on the vacuum head

The cart is now e-coated before powder coating & the Transport Rack Is e-coated now, too - Electrostatic Coating- All of our powder-coated parts are now electrostatic coated (E-coating) and then powder coated over. This makes the finish of our components much more durable.

Extremely high-quality integrated steering knuckle -Integrated Stainless Steel Steering Knuckle. This allows you to hook any pole directly up to the riptide vacuum without any adaptors, and maneuvering in the water is effortless.

The SL model Riptides now includes a Diagnostic/Tool Kit with a battery load tester; the load tester is essential for quickly determining battery condition.

The bags now have a different ring color to differentiate different microns.

The bags (100 Micron and below) are now double layers; this feature makes the bags last much longer.

25 Micron Bag available (specialty dust bag). This bag can eliminate the need to system vacuum a pool with a dust problem.

Bottom Feeder:

The new LiFePO4 batteries are a lithium battery type that is considered the safest lithium battery type available. They have a long cycle life, high power density, and a wide temperature range.

Safety: LiFePO4 batteries are considered one of the safest lithium-ion battery chemistries available. They have a stable chemical structure that is less prone to thermal runaway or combustion, making them a reliable choice for applications where safety is crucial.

Long Cycle Life: LiFePO4 batteries have an impressive cycle life, capable of enduring thousands of charge-discharge cycles without significant capacity loss. This makes them ideal for applications that require frequent cycling, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems.

With a 400-watt Power Inverter, you can quickly charge the bottom feeder while driving between stops. A 10-minute charge will give you seven minutes of battery life. You will want to use at least a 300-watt Power Inverter with the car charger adapter on end, and you can plug it into your car charger port (older cars' cigarette lighter port). 

If you prefer to charge it at home, it will take about 2 hours to charge the battery fully.

The compact size makes this ideal for those pools that need more than a quick skimming but have too much debris for a traditional manual vacuum with a hose and a vacuum head. It would also be great if you did not need the standard vacuum system with the cart. The Bottom Feeder weighs just 12 lbs. and is fully assembled, including the battery pack.
