Description:
The Bottom Feeder is a custom paint bucket that was designed to save water. In California, the past few years have been drought ridden. When the custom paint bucket was thought of, the sole reason was to save time and water. During the process it was discovered that the process also saves material (paint). In the past couple of years’ other uses for the Bottom Feeder were explored. Recently, discovering that it could be used in the swimming pool industry as well. I chlorine washed a pool in record breaking time, also saving time and material. Currently I’m looking into using the bucket as a bio filter for contaminated water.
Paragon Industries, LLC is running out of my garage, living room and a friend’s shop. We have a small inventory of raw material and I (Don Searcy) personally do all the assembly as orders come in. Our “raw” materials are manufactured in the Los Angeles area. As far as how the company is running, I make contacts, attend trade shows and assemble everything myself.
