The
Mini Vac II by Advantage Manufacturing is a Portable Filtration
System designed for the Pool Service Professional, Resort and Hotel
Service Techs and for the Homeowner. It is a smaller system when
compared to their PORTAVAC. But the Mini Vac II is a great choice
and is loaded with some outstanding features.
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.

Here
is a breakdown of some of the features for you:
100
sq. ft. Cartridge Filter
In Ground 1 HP Advantage Pump
85 GPM flow rate
Small Cart with Go Cart Wheels
On/Off Switch with GFCI
35 ft. 115 Volt Cord
Check Valve by Waterway
Although
this system is smaller than the PORTAVAC it is powered by a 1 HP pump
with a flow rate of 85 gallons per minute. The cartridge filter on
top is very large also coming in at 100 sq ft. When I say it is a
compact system it is still very powerful and versatile.
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. In fact any
unit can be custom built for you. Want a 150 sq ft cartridge on top?
They can do that for you. Or want a ¾ hp pump? They can also make it
to your specifications. Need a 100 ft cord? They can do that also.
For sure I would have them add the valve to vacuum to waste, a great
feature.
The
Check Valve for the front is a great touch. This makes priming super
easy. There is a flat seal located in the bag with the instructions
that you insert between the front of the pump and the check valve as
you thread it in. You can also purchase a standard 2” Union O-ring
and keep it in the check valve on a permanent basis. I also suggest
using a new vacuum hose to insure a tight water seal. But the check
valve will make priming simple, just fill up the pump with water, put
the lid back on and turn it on. It should prime instantly.
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.
