Electric Powered Hookah Systems
- The electric hookah diving systems are the most common units when the main application is some kind of practical application, such as;
- Boat maintenance (e.g., unfouling a prop, cleaning or inspecting the hull, free an anchor, etc.)
- Pond maintenance
- The 110 volt electric systems deliver more air than the 12 volt system, so they are usually preferable when 110 volt power is available (i.e., a generator aboard a vessel, or shore power).
- If 110 volt power is unavailable where the system must be used, then the 12 volt system is an excellent alternative electric unit.
- Often used by boaters who want a compact, lightweight system that enables them to dive under the boat when necessary (e.g., unfoul a prop, clean the hull, free an anchor, etc.).
- Can still do a little recreational diving around the boat.
- Also used for a range of commercial applications (e.g., boat hull cleaning, aquaculture, dock construction/repair, large aquarium work, pool maintenance/repair, etc.).
- Electric units are quieter than gas units when noise level is a factor.
- The 12 volt electric deck unit is sometimes used for certain types of recreational diving.
- Kayakers have placed the 12 volt units in kayaks when exploring river beds for artifacts and other “treasure”.
- Diving treasure-hunters with metal detectors use the 12 volt in a dinghy to search beach bottoms and freshwater areas for coins, jewelry, and other “treasure”.
