Benefits
The Waterco 16V1167 gives pool professionals a dedicated vacuum system that can be moved from job to job without depending on the customer’s pool equipment. This is especially helpful when cleaning pools with poor circulation, clogged systems, heavy debris, new plaster dust, or situations where the main pool equipment should not be overloaded.
The dual operating modes make this cart more versatile. Use filtration mode when you want to vacuum and return filtered water back to the pool, or use waste mode when removing large debris loads, dirty water, or material that may clog the cartridge filter.

Customer-Facing Q&A
Can this vacuum cart be used without the pool’s main filter system?
Yes. The Waterco Portable Vacuum Cart is designed as a standalone portable vacuum and filtration system, making it useful when you do not want to run debris through the customer’s pool equipment.
What is the difference between filtration mode and waste mode?
Filtration mode sends the vacuumed water through the onboard cartridge filter and returns it to the pool. Waste mode bypasses the filter and discharges the water out to waste, which is useful for heavy debris or dirty cleanup jobs.
Is this for residential or commercial use?
This cart can be used for residential pools, but it is especially useful for pool service professionals, commercial pools, hotels, condos, fountains, and water features.
Does this include the filter and pump?
Yes. The Waterco 16V1167 comes configured with a 3/4 HP pump and a 100 sq. ft. cartridge filter system.
Is this easy to move around?
