SANTA ANA, CA, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AquaPlanet Launches to Build on the Legacy Founded by Mike Collins

AquaPlanet today announced its official launch as a manufacturer of innovative water-management solutions serving the pool, spa, pond, and specialty water markets. Through the acquisition of selected assets of Advantage Manufacturing, AquaPlanet has established a new platform dedicated to supporting customers, advancing innovation, and expanding a portfolio of trusted industry brands.

Built on a foundation of innovation, quality, and customer service, AquaPlanet combines proven products with the resources of a global manufacturing organization and an experienced engineering team. The company is positioned to accelerate growth and bring new technologies and solutions to market for distributors, dealers, service professionals, and consumers throughout North America and beyond.

AquaPlanet has retained its experienced team members and remains committed to providing the responsive, knowledgeable, world-class customer service and technical support that customers have come to rely upon.

"AquaPlanet represents more than a new company—it represents our commitment to shaping the future of water-management products and solutions," said Lyann Courant, President of AquaPlanet. "By combining proven products with expanded engineering, manufacturing, and innovation resources, we are creating a platform for growth that will benefit our customers, partners, and the industry for years to come."

AquaPlanet will continue supporting and expanding a portfolio of recognized brands and products, including:
• Port-a-Vac portable deck vacuum pumps, service carts and hitches

Headquartered in Santa Ana, California, AquaPlanet is committed to delivering innovative solutions, exceptional customer service, and long-term value to customers across the pool, spa, pond, and specialty water industries.

"What began more than three decades ago when Mike Collins founded the business in a garage has grown into something truly remarkable," said Courant. "I am incredibly proud of the products, people, and relationships that helped build that legacy. AquaPlanet brings new resources, new opportunities, and a bold vision for the future while preserving the commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service that our customers have come to expect. Most importantly, we are retaining the talented team that helped build this company and will continue providing the world-class support our customers deserve. We are excited to write the next chapter of that story."

"We are honored to carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and customer-first philosophy that Mike instilled from the very beginning while building the next generation of water-management solutions for our customers and industry partners."

The launch of AquaPlanet marks an important milestone for customers who have relied on Advantage Manufacturing products for decades. AquaPlanet intends to continue supporting acquired product lines while investing in new technologies, expanded capabilities, and long-term growth.
