Support this company. They are hard working great people.

[@grimreaper4015]

I have the 1.5 hp porta vac and hitch, it works great!! Advantage stands behind their products, thank you so so much !

[@LyannCourant]

Love the "Equipment Pad on a Dolly" description. Very smart and exactly what it is.

Mr David, sorry, I ment the check valve that screws onto the pump body, Thx

[@kyleschmitt1995]

Question, I am in the market for one of these but want to make sure I get enough power for the pricing. In your opinion is 1.5HP the way to go or is it over kill/under kill for most situations? I see there are several setups they offer and I want to get the best bang for the buck. Thank you!

[@SPL]

The 1.5 hp in my opinion is all you need. Any less and you do feel a drop off in suction power. Any more it is just overkill.

I don't want to waste water. Will the filter hold D.E. that is being vacuumed from the bottom of the pool?

[@SPL]

Yes it will.

What about French Quick Vac'Classic?

Hello, I’ve been using the riptide for about a year now and it’s just not cutting it for the sand. Was asking at superior about a Doula card but they say they are six months on back order. In your honest opinion do you think this unit is capable to run on a 50 pool account?

[@SPL]

It will be a bit slower than using the Riptide. Figure a good 3-4 minutes to set it up. With the hitch it transports very well. I strap it down just in case. I think it will be very effective for you.

[@em6886]

@@SPL The riptide is definitely a faster set up, but it’s just not effective enough with the dirt and sand. I live in the Coachella valley and I think you know how bad the dirt has been down here lately. So I’m looking for a regular style portavac, T dula is backed up for months. How does this unit compare to a Dula portavac?

[@louispabon1077]

Can we rent something out like this ?

[@SPL]

Maybe from a Mom & Pop pool store.

[@magdalenabintor9642]

I need this but for the philippines

[@SPL]

You might be able to get them to ship it to you. Email: [e-mail]

What Hose do you Recommend using? we tried a few different pool vac hose all keep collapsing at the intake

[@SPL]

Smooth Bor

[@lukepoolservice]

How is it different than the T dula version

[@SPL]

TDula just sells the dolly set up to build your own system. So you will need to mount your own filter and pump. Advantage is more of a White Glove service. It is done for you - a complete system out the door.

Part# source for that checkvalve ?

[@SPL]

Waterway Plastics TruSeal 3-Way Swimming Pool Diverter Valve for 1½" or 2” PVC Made of Durable CPVC 600-7200-CPVC

[@bbyevo8u]

What better to use for vacuuming a 1-1/2" or 2" ?

[@johnnada1222]

Ballpark price?

[@SPL]

$1,500 or so to pool pros. They offer Wholesale pricing to pool professionals

[@johnnada1222]

@@SPL thanks for the response, I imagine it would pair nicely with a bottom feeder vacuum .

[@billwesolowski2609]

Old school, would never use this. Easier portable vac systems on the market.

[@johnnada1222]

I think Dave has been in the game around 25-30 years so he is kinda old school too .

[@tmiddleton100]

Such as? I'm looking and they are all a boat-load of cash

[@idigdeep]

90% of what's on this cart is useless especially if your starting a green pool job

[@SPL]

Alright.
