    Wanting to use a rechargeable on my weighted Pentair head.

    Absolutely This little set up is a real gem for those with just a couple hundred square feet to vacuum. Very little vegetation helps as well,brushing to the deep reduces the square feet needed to vacuum. The $118 catfish I’m told by the company has the exact same motor/battery pac. Using the...
