Who cleans out of one of these?

[Mikey P]

This belongs to my buddy who cleans pools.


Looks like a great cleaning truck.

Ford 350 V8 5.something engine.

Not the most comfortable ride, loud going down the road.
Bad mpgs. And IMO to big.

However. Pretty basic and easy to maintain.

So identical to a Vortex only smaller and easier to maintain.


Sounds perfect.

I did in 83. #5 blower and 300ft of the stiffest hose you ever seen.

PS Way back in the Dark Ages (early 80's?) my partner and I bought a "project truck" like this one to convert into a fire restoration vehicle. The "project" never got off the ground and I'm sure it wound up in a crusher soon afterwards.

Well, I guess if pool cleaning fails he can always sell snowcones,

Mike, I have never cleaned out of one, but I had one for my daily vehicle for almost 20 years. They are loud, not the best on fuel (the ones I drove were diesels and I had a corporate fuel card so did not care about mileage but there was plenty of room in them. The ones that we had at FedEx had fold up shelves that would work great for air movers and such.

My son drives a larger version everyday, they are automatic now and easy to drive. Wind catches them a bit but sure nice room wise.
