Vak Pak Inc., established in 1973 and based in Jacksonville, FL, is a distinguished leader in the design and manufacturing of self-contained filtration and operating systems for a diverse array of water features, including swimming pools, spas, splash pads, fountains, and zoos. With over 40 years of industry experience, the company sets itself apart by addressing the specific needs of engineers and contractors in its product designs while ensuring safety for families and users of water facilities.
Founder Paul Sutherland, with a background in swimming pool construction, identified the need for practical, cost-effective water filtration solutions that eliminate the complexities associated with traditional pump rooms. His innovative approach led to the pioneering of gravity feed collection tanks that not only meet but exceed safety standards, including the VGBA compliance. In 2016, Paul’s son, David Sutherland, took over operations, continuing the legacy of focusing on quality and dependability.
