Mini Vac II Portable Filtration System Set Up and Use Video
The
Mini Vac II is very easy to use and set up. You just wheel it out to
the pool side and connect your manual vacuum hose to the front check
valve and vacuum out your pool - just as if it was connected to your
pool pump through the pool skimmer. Advantage makes it very easy by
including a Waterway Check Valve which makes priming the pump super
easy. Just remove the pump lid, fill the pump with a bucket of water,
put the lid back on and turn on the pump. It will prime up right
away.
Here
are some troubleshooting tips on priming the pump. Make sure the
gasket is in the front of the check valve before you thread it in.
You can find the gasket in the bag with the operation manual. You can
also use a standard 2” union o-ring on the Check Valve. Make sure
your pool hose is new and does not have any air leaks. The number one
priming problem is a bad pool hose. The tiniest amount of air will
stop the pump from priming. When you attach the hose to the front of
the pump, make sure there is no air in the hose.
One
of the key aspects of the Mini Vac II is that it works separate from
your pool's filtration system. Everything is picked up with the
manual vacuum and the cartridge filter on top traps all of the dirt
and debris down to an amazing 20 microns. So if the pool has very
poor running equipment or just gets a large amount of dirt and debris
each week, the Mini Vac II would be a great investment.
If
you order the Mini Vac II directly from Advantage Manufacturing, use
the discount code: “YouTube Portable” and save $50.00. You can

Here
is a breakdown of some of the features for you:
100

85 GPM flow rate
Small Cart with Go Cart Wheels
On/Off Switch with GFCI
35 ft. 115 Volt Cord
Check Valve by Waterway
The
unit in this video also has a valve plumbed in so that you can easily
vacuum to waste. I added the fitting and vacuum hose attachment but
when you order they can also add the fitting to the valve so you can
use a standard 1.5” vacuum hose to vacuum to waste. This is a handy
addition and it makes cleaning up a green pool or a pool with a lot
of dirt and debris very quick and easy. When you move the valve to
the “waste” position the filter is bypassed making for easy clean
ups.
The
Dolly this cart is on is smaller and more compact and this also means
that it can't be hitched to the back of your truck like the PORTAVAC.
But it is light enough to transport in the bed of your truck if you
want to use it for pool service. I think the Mini Vac II is ideal
for homeowners who have a problem pool, lots of dirt and debris each
week. This will save the filtration system and extend the life of
your filter and pump. The Mini Vac II would also be great to park in
your equipment room if you manage a hotel or resort pool. Use it to
vacuum each week and save the trouble of trying to vacuum out the
pool with the typical poorly running sand filter. This will also mean
less frequent backwashes to the sand filter.
The
Mini Vac II is also ideal for water features and fountains that
usually do not have a dedicated skimmer or vacuum port. In a matter
of a minute or two, you can completely vacuum out a fountain. Very
easy to use and great for any body of water that does not have a
filter or a way to vacuum it out. The places you can use the Mini Vac
II are innumerable.
