Thousands of Facilities Do Not Clean Their Pools!

They let the leading automatic cleaners do the work for them, and reduce every cast associated with pool maintenance.

COMPANY HISTORY:

In 1982 Gerry Erlich, a master of mechanical engineering and for-mer chief R&D engineer for Hayward Industries, partnered with another engineer to establish Aqua Products, Inc. Their goal was to create the next generation of truly automatic swimming pool cleaners that operate independent of the pool and work without manual guidance.

Their goal became a reality with the introduction of their AquaMax robotic commercial cleaner. The AquaMax was hailed as the world's most advanced swimming pool cleaner. Working without hoses, connections to external pumps or the pool's filter system and weighing nearly half that of existing systems, the hand-crafted AquaMax could actually scrub, vacuum and micro-filter pool floors, walls, waterline and most steps regardless of the pool's shape or surface type.

A full line of AquaMax models were designed to satisfy the individual needs of varying pool sizes and, and even included a hand-operated vacuum called the Power HandiVac. Options were added to enable the AquaMax cleaners to adapt to specific pool applications and designs such as beach entries, moveable bulkheads and L or T shaped pools.

A new more powerful line of cleaners was engineered to complete the cleaning requirements of the much larger commercial pools. Adequately named, the UltraMax cleaner line consisted of the most powerful and capable automatic cleaners ever built and were put to use to clean up everywhere from Disney World to the Olympics.
