The Riptide SL and Service Cart comes
factory shipped with the main parts un-assembled. This is due to
shipping rates. To keep the shipping and handling at $50 for
anywhere in the Continental US, it must be shipped this way.
Fortunately setting up the cart is very easy and should take only
about 45 minutes. The Riptide SL is well worth it and I go over the
assembly in this video for you.
If you live in Florida anywhere near
their warehouse you can swing by and pick up a completely assembled
unit and they will also help you mount the transport rack onto your
truck. Here is their address:

Note
that the battery and battery charger are sold separately. You can
use various sizes of batteries, the one shown here is the maximum
size you can use, a 100 AH battery. It is also the largest size by
dimensions that you can fit in the SL cart: 12.9 inches long, 8.7
inches high and 6.8 inches in depth. Anything longer or higher than
this will not fit in the SL Cart. I suggest a 50 AH battery or even a
35 AH battery to make the cart lighter. With the 100 AH battery it
adds 60 lbs to the cart weight. A 35 AH battery will weigh only 23
lbs. It can be adjusted for any size AH battery, 35 AH to 100 AH,
with the orange battery tabs.
One
of the keys of the set up is that due to how the switch is
manufactured you don't know which wire coming out of the plug is the
negative or which is the positive until you connect it to the battery
terminals. It is easy to test however as the Riptide propeller MUST
SPIN COUNTER CLOCKWISE. If you turn it on after connecting the wires
to the battery terminal and it spins CLOCKWISE you will need to
reverse the wires on the terminals. If it spins COUNTER CLOCKWISE
after connecting the wires you are good to go.
I
will cover the transport rack installation in another video for you.
The Riptide Vacuum System can also be
purchased without a Service Cart and it is sold with just a stand
alone vacuum head and Battery Box. This is a great option if you are
a pool service professional and don't need or want the cart or if you
are a homeowner who just need the vacuum without the cart. The
current price for the vacuum head and Battery Box is $850.00.

The Riptide Vacuum System is an
essential tool if you service pools that get destroyed by the winds
or work in an area where the pools get a lot of large debris all
season long. The 35 AH battery for the Battery Box should last around
3 hours of continuous use before charging (although the manufacturer
says you can get 7-8 hours with the 35 AH battery in their testing).
The cart features large rugged rubber
wheels that are ideal for rough yards and step areas. This is a very
light weight cart and even with the 60 lb. Battery in the bottom, the
wheels make it effortless to pull the cart over any terrain. It is
also very well balanced and even pulling it up hills it is very
steady. The handle on top is adjustable, so you can turn it at an
angle for different heights, making it even easier to pull.
