Spa Vac Plus Cordless Vacuum for Hot Tubs, Tight Spaces & Small Inflatable Kiddie Pools, Hoseless Handheld Cleaner for Sand, Silt, and Small Debris, by Water Tech

I bought this to replace my third grit gitter vac which cost $20 and lasts about a year before it becomes unusable. While searching for a fourth grit gitter I found the SpaVac and decided to give it try. I love it, sure beats squeezing the grit gitter bottle a million times to pick up half the dirt. The SpaVac is no super vac, but does a great job when used slowly. As with any vac you stir up the dirt as you move the vac around. Let the remaining dirt settle and a second pass will get the remainder. It appears to be well built and has a very fine filter to trap the real small stuff. It looks like it will last for a quite a while, but as long as it makes it through the season it will be well worth the money. UPDATE: it stopped working

I followed the directions exactly to avoid previous customer problems to no avail. 1) It is nearly impossible to open the vac to empty the debris. You are supposed to "pinch" the general sides, but that does nothing. 2) A minor complaint: Due to its shape, it rolls over whenever you set it down. (I don't use the stick long handle.) 3) There is no "On & Off" switch. Shockingly, to turn ON the vacuum, one is supposed to partially unscrew the battery compartment hatch lid on the end of the handle which would then make the battery compartment conducive to leaking from that lid if one unscrews the lid a full 1/4 turn to the "On" marked on the handle. Just to test my theory, I did as instructed once, without batteries in it, while submersed in the spa. After carefully drying the outside, sure enough, water had seeped through the lid. After that I only turned the handle barely far enough to just get the vac to turn on (about 1/3 inch). But then later, I observed the battery compartment had additional leaks internally, not just from the battery compartment lid, indicating the whole vacuum is probably leaking everywhere including through the motor. 4) You are instructed to completely open all the parts up after each use to let it dry out. I even bothered to dry it with a towel, but rust appeared in the battery compartment immediately anyway. 5) The suction seriously diminished while vacuuming probably due to the batteries dying. A set of batteries was destroyed with each use due to leaking. I am convinced, with leaking certainly through the motor too, the vacuum would have only worked a couple more times, but I didn't want to waste any more money on batteries. Remember, if you are going to take the gamble of being upset & buy this anyway, they will not pay for your shipping either direction when it is defective, and be careful to return it within the warranty period to the correct address.

Works ok as advertised. Assembles in seconds. Only real complaint is the suction isn't very strong. It would get 5 stars if it had better suction power. It does ok, it handled very large bugs without issue, however the weak suction makes the job slower than it could be when it would take several passes to take in smaller things or draw in more water nearby. It could also use locking tabs for the handle pieces to keep it all in place, as it is possible for them to slide out after assembly.

like the idea. do not like the performance. very weak suction and poor maintenance.

works perfect in spa tub - lots of sand, misc. debris. i didn't have a lot of faith that this would work well, so pleasantly surprised. the ONLY thing i despise about this is how the vacuum head gets removed from the debrit receptacle - very hard to open. the large arrows on the vacuum head are irrelevant because it is still difficult to open.

It works pretty good for the small pool..but it's near impossible to get the cover off to clean it out..and it cracked in the process of trying to remove it..so it's technically a waste of money..

I got this because I had a layer of sand from kids feet in the bottom of my pool. I spent over 3 hours vacuuming the whole thing with this thinking it was picking it up but it actually was not picking anything up it was just blowing it around the water. I took it out to clean the filter and the filter was still clean realizing it did not pickup absolutely nothing. I gave it another try the same day and it did the same exact thing you stick your hand to the bottom when its running and there is ZERO suction power. Completely useless and biggest waste of time and money ive ever purchased. I ended up going to Walmart online and ordering an 80$ intex rechargeable pool vaccum and it picked up all the sand with 2 tries. Dont waste your money trying to buy cheaper it doesn't work buy the expensive one its worth it.

This makes life easier!! Perfect size for a hot tub. Picks up debris well.

Di semplice utilizzo è quello che ci vuole per togliere le piccole scorie portate dal vento. Leggero e pratico, lo consiglio.

Bisher habe ich immer mit dem Netz versucht den Dreck vom Boden zu holen, gerade feinen Dreck wie Blütenpollen bekommt man damit aber nicht zu fassen. Manchmal wird auch das Wasser trüb und ich verwende einen Klärer, der die Staub Partikel / Pollen dann zusammen kleben lässt. Die Partikel sinken dann auf den Boden ab und man kann sie absaugen. Hatte zuvor einen Sauger den man an den Gartenschlauch angeschlossen hat. Bei längeren Saug Sitzungen musste ich hinterher immer Wasser aus dem kleinen Pool ablassen. Die Wirkung war auch nicht wirklich gut, da durch den Wasserdruck die Partikel immer aufgewirbelt wurden und ich nur ca. 70% des Drecks erwischt habe. Der kleine Pool Sauger kann das alles viel besser und ist für unseren 240er Quick Pool voll ausreichend. Die Stange ist lange genug, dass ich in die Mitte komme. Er saugt ausreichend stark und ist einfach zu reinigen. Preis Leistung ist für meine Ansprüche perfekt. Würde ich wieder kaufen

lust the job

I dislike the way it opens to clean it. Very hard to get apart.

Ich hatte das Gerät erworben um den geflockten Schmutz oder tote Insekten vom Poolboden aufzunehmen. Dies ist aber mit diesem Artikel nicht möglich, da der Sauger so gut wie keine Saugleistung hat. unten an der Öffnung sind 2 Rollen um den Sauger über den Boden zu führen, jedoch wirbelt man den Schmutz nur auf und der Sauger ist derart schwach, dass keinerlei Schmutz aufgenommen wird. Rund 65 € sind für dieses Gerät ein Witz, alles aus billigstem Plastik und dazu funktioniert es nicht einmal. Spart euch das Geld!!!!
