The New Portability Kit brings the Bottom Feeder
Portable Battery Powered Vacuum System into the category of a must-have Machine.
The Portability Kit consists of a small pole section where you can attach the
battery and vacuum head, a handle for easy carrying and a new on/off switch
making the unit easy to use. Simply attach the Portability kit to your existing
pool pole, turn it on and begin to vacuum the pool. No more need to remove the
battery from the vacuum head to turn it off and no need to install the battery
on your pool pole at every use. If you already have the Bottom Feeder Vacuum
System you can order the Portability Kit on their website.
The compact size makes this ideal for those pools that
need more than a quick skimming but has too much debris for a traditional
manual vacuum with a hose and a vacuum head. It is also great if you do not
need the standard Vacuum System with the cart. The Bottom Feeder weighs just 12
lbs. fully assembled including the battery pack.
Here is what the manufacturer says about the Bottom
Feeder:
“The Bottom Feeder is a revolutionary pool cleaning
system that combines innovative technology with lightweight flexibility.
Powered by a long-lasting rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, The Bottom
Feeder requires no hoses or lines – which saves you time and gives you the
mobility and flexibility needed to vacuum pools in minutes. Designed by
professionals for professionals, The Bottom Feeder is durable and effective and
vacuums in as little as 4″ of water.”
I really like the portability of the Bottom Feeder. It
is easy to carry back to my service accounts and it takes less than 30 seconds
to connect it to my pole and drop it into a pool. It is powered by an 18 lbs.
thrust motor which is less powerful than a standard Vacuum System but still very
powerful. I didn’t notice much drop off in power between the Bottom Feeder and
my other Vacuum Systems. The Body is light and maneuverable, and it is like
using a standard manual vacuum head with the swivel on the handle. The great thing
about it is that there are no hoses or cords so using it couldn’t be easier.
The lithium-Ion battery is rated to last for up to 2
hours of run time. This should be plenty of time each day if you service a
standard size route. After your day ends simply plug in the battery to the
charger and let it charge overnight. If the battery is completely drained it
should take about 10 hours to fully charge it.
The battery is what makes the Bottom Feeder so compact and light. It
attaches to your pool pole and rides behind the Body making the battery pack
fully submersible.
The bag on top is made from a fine mesh and the two
bags that come shipped with the Bottom Feeder will filter down to 100 microns.
These are high-quality bags made right here in the USA. I like the ease of
attaching the bag and of emptying the bag. Simply pull the drawstring and clip
it on over the top of the Bottom Feeder and that is it, you are ready to go.
The Bottom Feeder would be ideal for a homeowner who
has a lot of large debris in their pool each week. The compact size makes this
ideal for use and storage. If you have a pool route and have only a handful of
heavy debris accounts, investing in the Bottom Feeder would save you time
without needing a full-size Vacuum System and Cart. It’s just overall a very
convenient and handy vacuum to carry back to your service accounts.
