POOL BLASTER Aqua Broom Hot Tub Vacuum Cordless Spa Vac for Inflatable Above Ground and Inground Spas, Hot Tub Accessories, up to 3 Hours of Runtime, Battery-Powered, Lightweight Handheld Cleaner

For realz, I ran this thing for less than a minute in my hot tub- getting into the main spot where all the buildup was and it worked way better than expected. I took apart the filter head and all the sediment that had built up and I have worried about for 2+ years was there. The filter bag's material seemed to make it even easier to clean it out. Just by emptying it and giving it a few taps to bang out the excess, the sediment came out. Just had to hit it quickly with the hose and it was good.A little later (once I actually opened and looked at the instructions), I got a BONUS that I did not count on. It comes with 2 microfiber bags that fit inside the original bag. I decided to see what IT could do. I had a buildup of shock powder in my hot tub and after thorough cleaning of the floor and steps, the bags picked huge amounts of the powder. I was amazed at how much it got.I will say that this is one of the best purchases of a tool I have ever made!!! I judge that on the product getting the job done with efficiency. If you have a hot tub, you know that the regular pool cleaner will not fit and be effective unless the tub is extremely large. This tool will be your friend. It is a very simple tool and the instructions are just really three pages, mostly with images and short descriptions of them. The unit consists of three pieces and a simple twist-on-for-power design. Like I said, I knew immediately that I would be keeping this item. I usually keep boxes and packaging when I buy something this size, but there was absolutely no reason to keep this box.A MUST HAVE FOR HOT TUB OWNERS.I would think it would work in the pool especially on my steps. I will try that next and that would be a big plus if it did. I am already sold on how it works. I was skeptical because when I first turned it on, I could not feel much suction. I guess it needs to be fully immersed to work properly.Very satisfied customer and if the company reads comments... good job guys!!! I will by more products when the need arrives.Thank you.

We needed a spa vacuum to get out the small items such as sand, bougainvillea petals. We went to Leslie's pool supply store, and they suggested this item on Amazon. It worked perfect. It is cordless, light to use (2 lbs), but it uses 5 D size batteries. We just ordered a box of 12 D batteries when we ordered the vacuum. It comes with additional filter bags, which you clean out it every time you use the vacuum. The bags are reuseable. We use the vac on around the stairs, the hard-to-reach places, and the bench seat in the pool. It sold for a great price. It attaches to your brush pole and it is easy to use.

I have a gunite pool with a small "spa" section that is always hard to clean because it doesn't have it's own skimmer and it is too small for my automatic pool cleaner. So I would typically manually vacuum it once in a while to pick up small debris from the bottom which works very well of course, but takes some time and requires vacuum hook-up and big vacuum head is hard to maneuver in a small spa area. I loved the idea of having this broom tool to easily and quickly pick up the sand and small debris without hooking up my hose so I read the reviews and decided to give it a chance. Once thing I have to say - I had no issues with turning it on or off as other mentioned in the reviews, it was easy and worked just fine. But I was so disappointed in the performance of this tool that it had to go back (thank you Amazon for your customer service and return policy). I read the instructions, loaded the broom with fresh batteries, and ventured outside to start my new life with easy spa maintenance. Well, my dreams were quickly shuttered. The tool's sucking power is very small. Granted, I did not expect Dyson performance for 40 dollars and from a few batteries; but I was expecting it to be able to pick small debris, sand, and silt. Instead, it did not have enough power to suck in small debris (small leaves, tiny sticks, etc.) and the supplied bag's mesh was not fine enough to collect sand and silt and I could clearly see the cloud coming from the "gills" right back into the water. I stopped it and made sure that it is assembled correctly and the net is snapped in its place properly (trust me, it is no rocket science) and tried again with the same result. I used the tool for about an hour which basically just gave me cloudy water and after the dust settled back on the bottom I switched right back to my old plan "B" which is vacuuming it with a hose. I took the broom apart and cleaned it per instructions, dried it, and put it back together disappointed. Couple of days later I decided to give it a second chance. Same result but now on top of the broom just scattering the dust around my pool I could also hear some weird noise coming from the motor which leads me to believe that the unit would not last more then a few months. I know that there are more powerful models of this broom made by the same company but after this experience I am afraid to try. Will look for other alternatives.
