About Us.
John Irvine is an inventor. A classic problem-solver who has spent his career inventing products that solve consumer problems. So, when a problem arose in his own home, he knew what to do. In this case, the problem was errant water spray from their pool cleaner sweep hose blasting an oil painting on display in the backyard pool house. Not just any painting, but one created by John's wife, Leslie, who is an artist. Initially, John tried several available products to solve the problem of errant spray. In each case, they either didn't work or didn't last.
So John, wanting to maintain marital bliss, set out to make something better. He designed, 3D printed, and tested dozens of prototypes before landing on The Swasher. During this process, he addressed other issues with the tail sweeps, like ensuring The Swasher would stay firmly attached to the hose, actively clean, and eliminate the frequent and wasteful “foam” replacement annoyance.
Now, with the water staying in the pool and Leslie’s artwork back in the pool house, John is actively working on solutions to several other pool equipment problems.
Enjoy your pool!
