Pragmatic Products introduces the Bucket Ape (Click Link to watch a video) - newest tool for the tile and stone industry’s professionals and DIYers.
By consensus the most hated job of tile installation is grout cleaning; endlessly trekking 40 lbs of water in and out wears on the mind, body, and wallet. While there are commercial products on the market for professional installers to clean tile during installation, they are cost prohibitive for the DIYers. The Bucket Ape system delivers the same advantages as the commercial products but at a discount of 95% making it an affordable investment for DIY homeowners and professionals.
Prices range from $7.95 for the Bucket Ape itself to the most expensive kit of $29.95 for the “High Capacity Ready-to-Use” system. Rob Parker, President of Pragmatic Products, says, “Our goal was to make a product that offered value to DIY customers, ideally a one job pay back. We had resounding success. The price point of Bucket Ape is below the cost of one man-hour, so for our professional customers Bucket Ape offers a tremendous value.”
Traditionally, a whole house tiling project involves hauling 3600 lbs of water, nearly two tons. Bucket Ape completely eliminates hauling buckets and virtually eliminates the risk of repetitive stress injury to back, knees, and shoulders. Bucket Ape achieves its low cost through leveraging common items that most people already have on hand: a standard five gallon bucket, a garden hose to supply fresh water, and another garden hose to drain dirty water outside. Bucket Ape gives new purpose to items that might otherwise end up in the landfill, and it can even reduce water usage by 60% compared to traditional tile cleaning methods.
