Swimming pool cleaning machine

 

The product at issue, the Riptide Pool Vacuum
System, is described as a self-contained pool cleaning machine. Marketed as a
portable commercial pool vacuum, the Riptide Pool Vacuum System consists of a
vacuum unit with a 30lb thrust motor and a 24" vacuum head, incorporated
into a wheeled cart. The system is powered by a 12 volt battery, and features a
cord reel with a 45' power cord that connects the vacuum head to the Riptide’s
battery.

 

The Riptide is designed
for the express purpose of removing underwater detritus from the bottom of
swimming pools. The suction generated by the vacuum head enables it to pick up
solid debris, such as leaves and dirt. The vacuumed debris is subsequently
captured in a specially designed vacuum bag affixed to the vacuum head.
