I was glad that I found the exact product for my pool. However, the product picture at the manufacture's website discouraged me. My pool has thousands of live oak acorns at the bottom, the small fitting throat will be choked right away, I am afraid. I need the sucking object diameter comparable to a Shop Vac. Any suggestions?
I just tried similar setup, having issue. Vacuum in water and pump hose filled with water (exactly as you showed), primed the pump but the water seems to drain from pump (down the pump hose I suppose) leaving no water in the pump anymore. I run it, but it doesn’t suck any water from pool. Maybe not working if my pump is not self priming, how best to prime then?
It will not work. It has to be a 110V (115V) pump. So 1 hp or less. Advantage modifies their 1.5 hp pump by using a smaller impeller reducing the amps.
I can’t seem to find this pump online or advantage manufacturer website either. Do you have link to site to add to shopping cart and purchase? TY Cost?
What’s the advantage to this? Normally when you use the original pump to vacuum the water circulates through the filter and back into the pull. Isn’t this wasting water? Serious question. Curious
For clean up situations - green pool, lots of dirt. Most pool filters can't take high volumes of either without having to be taken apart and cleaned. Under normal pool vacuuming situations use the filter system.
Hi from UK. I'm looking to build similar portable pump for my pool as the regular one use the sand filter and get's clogged very quickly due to dirty pool and so want to build a portable clean-up pump like that of yours with a cartridge filter. My pool is 1.7mtr in depth at one end. so was wondering what should I look into the water pump to do the job. I mean 1.5HP would be good, what else I should look into the pump before buying it. Thanks for your help.
Not sure if your electricity is limited like in the States over here. In most cases, a 1 hp pump can be plugged into 115v. A 1.5 hp cannot. This one in the video has a modified voltage. I suggest a 1 hp and make sure it is self priming. Also a check valve on front or a simple ball valve makes priming easy.
@@gerardosalvatierra590 huh 😂 do you know how the vacdaddy work…both machines get dirt out the pool but the vacdaddy don’t do it at a constant rate like that
@T Real yup and thick algae clogs up pump basket and clogs impeller. I've stopped using this application. I'll just clean filters 2 times sometimes 3 on green to cleans and just charge accordingly. Better than emptying that tiny basket 20 times
Can you use this device without water and instead a regular vacuum? I’m looking for a hand held clean up pump, preferably the most powerful one in the market
Could you use a sand filter/pump setup for this and just have the water go back into the pool?
You could attache a small sand filter if you like.
I would like to know where i can find those hose connectors with the plactic nut, as well as the white threaded pvc adapters?
Not sure as they come with the pump. Maybe give Advantage a call and they can send you a set.

The Bottom Feeder Vacuum System or a Riptide XP Vacuum.

Add a check valve to the front.
at 1:47 are you wrapping the teflon tape in the correct direction?
Maybe. 👍
I have a 220v pump i'd like to convert to plug in. Is that possible? The goal is to make my own portable vacuum system

I have similar set up but the suction is really high and it makes the vaccum line squished up against the pump. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Yes, you can instal a ball valve in front and reduce some of the suction.

I have a question dyou make any changes on the skimmer and main drain valves or you just set it up the way u did during a vacuum?
Just set it up and vacuum. 👍
@@SPL thank you
where can I buy this pump and how much does it cost? Need information asap. Thank you
Advantage Manufacturing. Around $650 I think
$300 - $400 for 1.5 hp inground self priming pump add a cord on it and save $300.
You can of course build one. This one comes ready to go out of the box.
How much does this portable pump cost?
$600 ish
Oh nice I can use that for my jeans house
Yeah, it’s very cool
Oh yeah “ nice demonstration 👍🏽 Nice clip. I need that💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yea I like vacdaddy better set priming as well
This is not a vacuum but a portable plug-in pump.
@@AdvantageManufacturingTustin same as vacdaddy I use to have a portable pump but it’s time consuming if it fills with leaves 🤷🏿 and have to reprime
@@gerardosalvatierra590 huh 😂 do you know how the vacdaddy work…both machines get dirt out the pool but the vacdaddy don’t do it at a constant rate like that
Two different applications. Good to have both. VacDaddy is a good product.

Negative. It needs water to work properly.
