Description

Water Tech Pool Blaster Catfish is a cordless and rechargeable pool vacuum cleaner with a lightweight design to deliver outstanding results when cleaning spas, hot tubs, inflatable pools & spot-cleaning small in-ground, and above- ground pools, like Intex. It captures a variety of debris including acorns, twigs, leaves, sand, and silt. Convenient cordless and hoseless operation makes it ideal for spot cleaning. The handheld Pool Blaster Catfish is also ideal for smaller jobs on fiberglass, concrete, and vinyl pool liners, and is suitable for both chlorine and saltwater pools. The Catfish works independently of your pool’s pump and filter system and eliminates pool vacuum hoses which in return does not create additional wear and tear on your filter. Powered by the lithium-ion battery, this cordless pool vacuum runs for up to 45 minutes on a single charge and quickly recharges within 4 hours. Other features include a 7.5” vacuum head with brushes and a crevice nozzle to remove dirt from hard-to-clean areas. Whether you are looking to spot-clean areas of your family pool, or need to clean between corners, tight spaces, and pool steps, the Catfish Li will have it done. While no pool pole is needed, the Catfish Li can easily attach to any standard telescopic pole to extend its reach into deeper parts of water. The ability of this battery-powered pool vacuum to clean dirt where automatic pool cleaners cannot together with its versatility and ease of use make it a great addition to your swimming pool supplies.

  • Would give it 5, but (shipped in 3 days, not 2) I need to use is a few more times. Great/Excellent for picking up fine debris!
Item Shape: Catfish
This solves a problem I've had for years and it does it pretty well. I have an in-ground 26,000 gallon pool. Every year, I clean the cartridge filters before the season and at the end. They are always an ugly off-green color that is a mix of dirt, pollen, dog hair, etc. and I suspect a fair bit of yellow mustard algae that I battle every year, brushing down the sides and shallow end (Yellow Out works, but is temporary). Anyway, that dislodged algae has to go somewhere, and I have until now been brushing it toward the drain once it settles. There are some obvious "dead spots" in the pool where dirt, brushed-algae and debris settle if I don't run the in-floor cleaning system and pool filter pumps for hours (and hour$ and hour$$ and hour$$$). So, despite reading a lot of 1-star "stay-away" reviews, I took a chance and ordered this via Prime at about $2.00 over the next cheapest non-Prime offering. I figure if it fails, Prime has such a great return policy, I'll only be out the hassle. Apparently, Watertech got the message about the difficult-to-use on/off dial and replaced it with a push button. Only time and waterproof housing integrity will tell if they've fixed that problem. Also, while the internal catch net is way too small to be practical for full-on pool cleaning, the included fine-mesh "sock" that works with the catch-net is simply the perfect solution for vacuuming up the fine silt, sentiment and little piles of dead algae. It really works and works well. Only problem is, the sock is as small as the net and the vacuum action pretty much comes to a halt (even as you can feel the vibration of the unit, knowing it is running) as the sock clogs up with debris. That said, although I had to clean the sock several times (a pain, but m'eh, whatareyagonna do?) it really did the job. Each time I went to clean it, it looked like my pool filter cartridge filters, all off green and yucky. That's a good sign. It's a little challenging getting the sock just right on the rubber ring of the catch-net, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. It's super simple to install the net without the sock, but I need the sock on it. Overall, to be honest, it doesn't feel all that rock solid, but it's not simple plastic crap either. They have to keep the price point down for Joe Homeowner to buy this and for me, it's really all I need. I'm sure there are expensive professional-grade versions of this, but why would I want that? Also, I have a good net for major clean ups (say after a wind storm) that this product wouldn't be able to handle, no way, no how. So, that's how I use it for a fairly large swimming pool. This is probably perfect for a wading or relatively small above ground pool. Just expect to pull and clean the net a lot. It really is too small the way it is. Update Oct. 21, 2015: I've been using this since May and it has been flawless. I wish it had a bigger net, but physics gets in the way. I've switched my review from 4 to 5 stars. ... show more

  • This thing is genius!
Item Shape: Catfish
The things that inventors create never ceases to amaze me. This is one of them. I have a little above ground Bestway pool. How to get out all the dirt, grass and what have you that kids track into it with their feet was an afterthought. Fortunately, these people already had a solution. I tried to go a cheaper route and use a device that works with water pressure and Venturi effect, but that didn’t do nearly the job this does it and added so much water to the pool that I had to drain it out afterwards. It was also worse than using a lawnmower with an electric cord having to haul around the garden hose. About the only difficulty I had with this is that there are two filters. One fits inside the other and is a fine filter while the other one is more of an open mesh. You can use the mesh by itself if you have a lot of large particles of sand and such. It’s a good idea to do that in that case. To get fine particles, you need the fine one. The problem is that it’s hard to get the housing that slides over the filters to unlock from a locking slot and small tab that fits into it, especially when wet. My solution was to just cut off the tab, because the housing was so tight anyway, that it didn’t move without being locked. Other than that, this thing works really well. It’s easy to clean the filters, it’s rechargeable and fits on a standard pole, which I strongly recommend. ... show more

  • DustBuster for your pool.
Item Shape: Catfish
I was reluctant to buy this based on the bad reviews. At the time of my purchase the product had 20% of the buyers/reviewers rating it one star.. i took a chance as i knew if it didn't meet my expectations, I would pack it up and send it back.. After a week, I'm really happy with this but read on because you may not be.. if this is your only pool vacuum, buy something else. Well first let me clear up some bad information posted in other reviews.. "you need to buy an extra silt bag." You don't, it comes with 2 extra bags including the screen bag. "You need to buy a pole". If you own a pool, you likely own a scimmer pole. It fits on your regular pole "After a few uses it doesn't have good suction" Yeah, any pool cleaner needs constant cleaning. Use it/ clean it I purchased this product for two primary reasons 1) I have a large in ground pool and an expensive robot that randomly zigzags around my pool for 6 hours and misses spots. I also have a regular vacuum that is a chore to take out and setup so getting those few missed spots is a pain.. 2) my pool gets dirty in the same spots.. I get collections of "stuff" in the same corners/areas of my pool. I wanted a way to hit just those areas quickly for quick cleanups without dragging out the robot cleaner. So I was looking around and found this pool blaster catfish vacuum. It seemed to fit the bill for the two problems I was trying to solve. In un boxing the vacuum the first thing I noticed was it's "toy like" appearance. It doesn't give you the impression it's going to hold up/ function well. I followed the instructions and started out of the gate using the fine silt bag. . After charging for about 45 mins it was fully charged and I was anxious to try it so out I go vacuuming the pool at 11:30 at night. As usual I had a collection of dirt along the back seams of the pool and on the deep end and some small spots in the shallow end. I mounted the vacuum on my skimmer pole push the button on the back of the vacuum to turn it on. The sound of the vacuum also doesn't make you feel this is a well built device. After submerging the vacuum the noise quieted and the device was working well .. I started in the shallow end so I can see if device had sufficient suction and not just pushing around dirt. i cleaned up the obvious areas in the shallow end which took about 5 minutes. It worked well on the deep pool steps but when the motor comes out of the water the suction stops, on shallow steps it didnt work at all. So plan on using this in at least 10 inches of water or at an angle to keep it submerged. On to the deep end! In another review, it mentioned it was hard to keep the vacuum on the bottom it wanted to float up and I kinda agree. The areas I wanted to hit, the outline of the deep end basin and closer to the edges, I could easily get to with no issues and it picked up everything . As I reached out to the center of the pool it was harder to keep the vacuum on the floor consistently as the angle of the skimmer pole went more horizontal. It had a tendency to float up. Still it did what I needed it to do.. First time out, it ran for about 25 minutes and performed "ok". I've since used it 3 more times doing spot cleaning about 8-10 minutes and I haven't charged it up yet and each time feeling a little better about the vacuum. I view this device as a "dust-buster" for your pool, great for quick spot cleanups. You wouldn't want to vacuum your whole pool with it, while you could probably do a larger section if needed. Hope this helps in your decision. I'll post some updates after living with this for a while. Update- after two seasons I continue to be impressed with this little vac... So getting ready for Memorial Day pool opening a worked a few days in getting open and blue, I’ve got the yard setup for the weekend and all the pool supplies away and we get a quick rain shower on Saturday night, which drops a bunch of crap, including worms into the pool.. I was able to clean up in 15mins and back to prepping for the party.. i’ve just started season 3 with this little guy and used it 3 times for 15mins each time.. I can’t stress enough, works great a spot cleaner in conjunction with your regular pool vac.. Final update 2019 -after three season it finally died. I buying a replacement 3 years for $90 bucks it’s worth it - One last update 6/2020 - So after great success with the first vac the next 2 units didn’t last a full season.. poor quality control not sure if I would try it again.. ... show more
