The Pool Blaster Battery Powered Leaf Vacuum is completely self-contained and does not require the use of a garden hose! Instead, its on-board motor, transmission and safety clutch combine with a unique Super-Suction Propeller to lift leaves, twigs, and debris right off the pool floor and deposit them into its high capacity debris bag. It's lightweight, fast, and easy to use! At the heart of the Pool Blaster Leaf Vacuum is its unique Super-Suction Propeller. This wide-bladed propeller enables the Pool Blaster Leaf Vacuum to effortlessly pull leaves up and off the pool floor. While creating suction, the slowly rotating propeller continuously keeps debris, such as leaves, seeds and twigs, agitated and moving, which avoids blockages experienced with garden hose powered Leaf Vacuums. The Pool Blaster Leaf Vacuum features Water Tech's proprietary Safe-Blade System to assure worry-free operation.

All Hat --- No Cowboy

The Pool Blaster is a wonderful concept that has the lifespan of a mayfly. When it is working you will love it - but the romance doesn't last long. I had read about leaks in the battery compartment and I initially had indications of some problem with that. I think I successfully countered that by modifying and stretching a child's balloon over the battery compartment cover ( all the way back behind the screw lugs mounting area) and adding a couple of rubber bands. Theoretically this relieved some of the water pressure. The Pool Blaster stopped working the first time (after three uses) because of a bad wire on the 9V battery connector that couples with the battery holder. I replaced that and it worked fine. ( I'll address other battery issues if there is space.) Just to be on the safe side I disassembled and dried out the battery compartment after each use. I also well drained the unit and let it air dry. After two more uses the Pool Blaster stopped working completely while it was being used. I repeatedly let it dry, checked and re-checked the batteries and connectors but nothing worked. In frustration I opened the cap to the motor mount (at that point I couldn't hurt anything) and it was full of water, ergo-- motor shot. Moving the gears to get the windings off any dead spots didn't help. Perhaps the balloon trick over the motor compartment may have helped but I'm not willing to re-invest the money to find out. As long as I'm into this I'll also address the issues I had with short battery life. The original batteries were fine but fresh replacements didn't last long. I finally figured out that the original batteries were eight 1.5V batteries with a approximate output of 12V to power what I assume is a 12V DC motor. Works fine. However the standard batteries most easily available are 1.2V giving out considerably less that the originals. This is not pointed out in the instruction manual. 1.5 AA batteries are readily available but you have to look for them under the "Max" designation. ( I also was planning to use rechargeable 1.5 batteries but apparently they are a little larger than the standard AAs and won't fit in the battery carrier.) Again, when the Pool Blaster is working I love it! Unfortunately, I probably got a total of maybe six hours of service from it and spent much more time than that trying to keep it working. If this lasted for even two seasons I would be happy to continue replacing it (talk about our lowered expectations) As it is, I can't recommend it.

Good idea but a little too expensive to break during first use

May be able to cover the batteries up so moisture won't get to them...worth a try.

Just got this and it works great

We've got a fairly large 9' deep pool. It has pop-ups that do a good job of keeping the bottom clean, but all the leaves and palm pieces that won't go through the drain to the filter end up in a circle around the main drain at the deep end. I've been scraping them up with a net on a pole for years and cussing the whole time. The net would scatter more around than it picked up. I decided to take a chance on this device and was amazed at how well it picked up all the junk around the drain. It honestly worked bettter than I expected. I can't say how well it will hold up, but I'm hoping it lasts a long time because it sure cleaned up the bottom of my pool. It is also very easy to use. I have had a stroke and walk with a cane and I was still able to use this on the bottom of the deep end of the pool.
