The
Riptide Vacuum System now comes standard with the Steering Knuckle for the
Vacuum Head. This added accessory makes the Riptide Vacuum much more
maneuverable in a pool and it will allow you to easily turn and pivot the
vacuum head while pushing it along the bottom or on the step area of a
pool. The Steering Knuckle takes the
Riptide to the next level.
I have used the Riptide for about a year
before the Steering Knuckle and it was not hard to maneuver to begin with. The
Steering Knuckle does add a new layer of mobility especially if you want to change
directions while you are moving the vacuum head forward and backwards in a single
motion. It allows for you to simply turn your pool pole to change the angle of
the vacuum head instead of stopping and lifting the vacuum head up and then
turning it. It also makes vacuuming the step areas easy as you can adjust the
vacuum head without lifting it up.
With
the Riptide’s extra wide vacuum head, being able to steer it while in motion
makes for a much quicker clean-up. The Steering Knuckle comes standard now when
you order the Riptide SL or Riptide XL Vacuum System. Here is some more about
the Riptide Vacuum System:
The
Riptide Vacuum System is an essential tool if you service pools that get
destroyed by the winds, or if work in an area where the pools get a lot of
large debris all season long. For the homeowner or service tech who doesn't
want or need the SL cart, you can now order the Riptide Vacuum Head with just a
Battery Box, the Riptide XP.
Riptide
has recently revamped the power switch and plug on the SL Cart and the XP
Battery Box. To say that the power switch and plug has been upgraded would be
an understatement. The new design has been tested thousands of times making it
the most reliable plug in the industry. I doubt if the switch or plug will wear
out for years, it is that good. It literally takes both hands to plug the
vacuum in, I feel like Dr. Frankenstein starting up the reactor every time I
plug the vacuum in – “It’s alive!” You can rest assured that whenever you plug
the vacuum in it will turn on and it will never get pulled out when vacuuming a
pool.
The
SL Cart can hold up to a class 27 100 Ah battery which gives you about 6-8
hours of vacuuming time with the Riptide. I prefer a 55 Ah or a 35 Ah battery
to make the cart a bit lighter. You will get less vacuuming time but the
battery is easy to charge each day so it is not a major drawback to use a
smaller battery.
The
cart also 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 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.
