HoldMi Pump
HoldMi Anchoring Pipe
HoldMi Pipe Adapter
HoldMi Accessory Pipe (optional, for volleyball/badminton net or umbrella)
HoldMi Table (optional)
HoldMi Hanging Hook (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Site:
- Ensure the area where you want to anchor the HoldMi system is clear of debris. The sand should be wet and saturated for optimal performance. For the 1st us,e we suggest doing it close to the water to get the feel of HoldMi under optimal conditions.
2. Assemble the Anchoring Pipe:
- Take the HoldMi Anchoring Pipe and set it vertically on the spot you have chosen on the wet sand.
3. Attach the Pump:
- Insert the HoldMi Pump to the top of the Anchoring Pipe. Ensure the connection is secure.
4. Anchor the Pipe:
- Pump the HoldMi Pump to create suction. As you pump, the Anchoring Pipe will be pulled down into the sand. Continue pumping until the pipe reaches the desired depth.
5. Secure the Depth:
- Once the Anchoring Pipe is at the preferred depth, stop pumping. Detach the HoldMi Pump from the pipe.
6. Insert a Pole:
- You can now insert a fishing pole or any other pole directly into the HoldMi Anchoring Pipe..
7. Using the HoldMi Pipe Adapter for Accessories:
- If you wish to use an accessory like a volleyball/badminton net, umbrella, or another pole:
- Attach the HoldMi Pipe Adapter to the top of the Anchoring Pipe.
- Insert the HoldMi Accessory Pipe or any other compatible pole into the adapter.
- Tighten the thumb screws on the adapter to secure the pole.
8. Setting Up the HoldMi Table:
- If using the HoldMi Table:
- Attach the HoldMi Pipe Adapter to the bottom of the table.
- Connect this assembly to the Anchoring Pipe.
- If adding an umbrella or another pole through the table’s center hole, insert the pole and tighten the thumbscrews on the adapter to secure it.
Tips for Best Use:
-Check the Tightness: Regularly check that all screws and adapters are tightly secured to prevent any movement due to wind or activity.
- Maintenance: Rinse all components with fresh water after use, especially in salty environments, to prevent corrosion and ensure longevity.
- Storage: Store the HoldMi components in a cool, dry place when not in use to avoid exposure to harsh environmental elements.
Pro Tip: Quick Hold Test with the Pump
Cut a 2 or 3-inch piece of the same PVC pipe you’re using and place it on your thigh or another solid soft surface. Attach the HoldMi pump to the other end of the pipe and give it one quick pump. The vacuum created will make the pump hold on firmly, giving you a hands-free experience! This trick is handy after cleaning or before you head out to verify all is working as it should or if you want to show off HoldMi's power.
If sand or debris gets into the pump, it can reduce the vacuum efficiency. To restore full functionality, simply remove the pump handle and the adapter end, rinse them thoroughly with clean water, and apply grease if needed. This quick maintenance ensures your HoldMi pump continues to perform at its best!
And of course, always rinse with fresh water we all know what salt does.
If you now have the HoldMi filter-
To clean, unscrew the adapter and rinse the adapter and screen off with fresh or saltwater.
