VAPTR manufactures a court drying machine used by clubs and college programs to clear standing water from playing surfaces after rain.

Its pickleball evidence is a named client testimonial: a director at Des Moines Golf and Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa calls the VAPTR the best purchase made as a director, describing a large pickleball event after a night of heavy rain where most participants assumed cancellation, but courts were dried within an hour and the event ran on time.

The company also publishes a guide to drying a wet pickleball court quickly and safely, aimed at the operational problem of turning a wet court back around between sessions.

Machines can be customized with a custom color, a custom logo, or both, and the site shows university and tournament customers including named college programs and events.

For an operator, the value is recovered court hours: rain that would otherwise cancel a session or a paid event becomes a delay measured in minutes.
