I second the Pool Blaster Max. I've had one for going on three years, it's great. Change the batteries at the beginning of the season and again halfway through, empty during use and rinse it after every use, and it'll do you proud! What I love about it is it picks up those tiny acorns oak trees...

I have a WaterTech Leaf Blaster, battery operated, and I have my son vacuum at least every other day, due to the massive oak in the front yard dropping leaves, twigs, catkins, and tiny acorns all the dang time. If we don't keep on top of it, it would be a hot mess out there. I never minded...

It will be fine for the floors, but don't expect it to climb the walls very well.

I have a Polaris 360 aka wheely guy I got from a wonderful user here on TFP. I'm unable to use it until I get my new 1 hp pump set up, but I was wondering -- is there any way to rig up my old 0.5 hp pump through a second return for the Polaris? I mean using the old pump as a booster pump for the...

I have a 14 ft Bestway pool, similar to an Intex pool. Unless you have at least a 3/4 hp pump, you don't have enough suction to keep a vacuum hooked to the suction side to work. It won't stay stuck on. I know this from experience. Last year I got a WaterTech Pool Blaster battery operated...

There's the Water Tech Pool Blaster, which I use. Battery powered, no hoses to fight with, does a fantastic job. Pool Leaf Blaster

I can't afford a robot, so I invested in a Water Tech Pool Blaster. I love it! https://www.amazon.com/Pool-Blaster-11A0000-Leaf-Vacuum/dp/B00IYPRLH8/ref=sr_1_11?crid=3A5Q1Y8X2M9QL&dchild=1&keywords=water+tech+pool+blaster&qid=1622849972&sprefix=Water+tech%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-11 I bought it last...

it's battery operated, no hoses. And yes, it picks dead insects.

I love it. Takes me about half an hour with the Pool Blaster, I move slow and get everything. I call it my Zen time. I vac in the morning, about 930 or 10, it's relatively cool, no noise, birds singing, just a nice quiet time. Just shuffling around the pool, upper body muscles working smoothly...

I usually vacuum every morning, but I've been coping with an RA flare in my ankles, so I've only been vac'ing every other day. We have a big oak tree in the front yard that overhangs the pool some (it's in the sideyard) and drops leaves, catkins, and acorns in the pool, depending on the season...

Aren't they great? All the Zen of vacuuming with none of the hassle of hoses and suction failures!

I have a Watertech Pool Blaster and I love it. Just move it around the pool floor and it picks up everything, even the baby acorns that were the bane of my existence last year! Cost me $80 or so on eBay. Battery operated, AA batteries.

I have a Watertech Pool Blaster, runs off batteries. Best $80 I ever spent.

UPDATE: it's been 6 weeks and it's still going strong on the original batteries. I've used it almost every day, too -- way more than 3 hours!

Skimmer, skimmer socks. Or a skim net.

I personally love the Polaris pressure side cleaners. If you're handy, you can get a factory rebuild kit and build your own for half the price of a new one, which is about $400.

I like eBay and Craigslist. Sometimes people here sell or give away equipment -- I scored a Polaris 360 and all the hoses for the cost of shipping from a TFP member! $36 for the win!

Go to Water Tech, go to Products, then find your vacuum. Scroll down the page to the parts list link, and click that. That will take you to a page where you can order parts. If the vac is less than a year old, it should still be under warranty. I'd explore that avenue, too.

I have a Pool Blaster battery operated pool vacuum. Available on Amazon or eBay. I love it! And the batteries are included!

I have a Water Tech Pool Blaster and I love it. The bag is a very fine mesh, and you can buy even finer micromesh bags for it. It even comes with batteries!

that's fine!

It was picking up everything I threw at it today. I don't know how well the OEM filter bag would do with really small stuff, but Water Tech also sells microfine mesh filter bags. At the very least it would stir it up into the water so the filter itself would catch up. Can't wait to see how it...

Well, here it is: I LOVE IT!! Took it out this morning to do the first pass of vacuuming, and it worked like a champ. Even picked up small twigs! Nice big bag, so I didn't have to empty it until I was done. Runs quietly, even out of the water. Easy to maneuver. Easy assembly. Comes WITH 8 AA...

You can buy a new similar cleaner for about $100 or less. I'd do that rather than fix your existing Wanda.

Pool Blaster Battery Powered Leaf Vac | Water Tech™ Official Corporate Site Has anyone with a small (14x48") above ground pool tried this thing? How did you like it? I've ordered one off eBay for the little acorns that start falling about mid-July... they were the bane of my existence last...

We bought a house with a pool about 20 years ago, before we bought this one without a pool. I rebuilt the Polaris 360 that came with the house, and my, but wasn't that satisfying! Ran like a champ for the rest of our time at that house! And I loved the tinkering I got to do -- wasn't it pure fun!?!

UPDATE: I got the Leaf Blaster and tried it. It failed miserably. We have plenty of water pressure, and the net on the thing floats up nicely, but it wouldn't pick up any of the baby acorns or leaves. I'm sending it back to Amazon tomorrow.

Sure will! I'll post a review!

I'll find out soon enough: I just ordered a Jandy Leaf Blaster and a fine mesh bag. Curiously enough, the same Leaf Blaster is listed on Amazon twice, at two different prices. One at $21 and one at $64. Both branded "Leaf Blaster". How odd.

First of all, any kind of pressure/suction side cleaner or robotic cleaner is out. I'm saving up for a Polaris 360 cleaner, but that won't be for a while. Why a Polaris 360? I've already owned one and loved it. I have a large oak tree near my pool. It has been dropping small single acorns in my...
