Mini Vac II Portable Pool Vacuum System by Advantage Manufacturing

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.

If you order the Mini Vac II directly from Advantage Manufacturing, use the discount code: “YouTube Portable” and save $50.00. You can order it from this link:

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.
