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.

    • Newly improved model - easier for use and still a good pool/pond vacuum
The media could not be loaded. Water Tech CATFISHPPV Pool Blaster, Catfish *** Updated August 23, 2014 *** My first vacuum finally went dead a few days ago. I then ordered the replacement - I was expecting the same stuff. The new one arrived with some much needed improvements, i.e., It has push button to turn ON/OFF. Although, this is not an issue for me (see my older review below) but for most users, it is. This is a good improvement. Other noted improvements (minor point - in my opinion): It has a few drain channel on both sides, thus when pulling out of the water, it has less water splashing (since motor is still running). Also, AC/DC adapter has a replaceable pin type, i.e., flat for US and round for Europe. This last one, I am not sure if it is an improvement though, i.e., the bag material has been changed from meshed nylon to coffee filter paper like !! In my opinion (also I use this to clean KOI pond), this is more of a backward step. Because, paper filter is a very fine filter not suitable for filtering dirt and sand from the pool/pond. Dirt and small sand will be difficult to rinse clean and won't last as long as the previous meshed nylon bag. There is only one bag in the box. Replacement is $15 - $20 a pop (per Amazon search). This may end up more expensive for many users. In my case, I continue to use old bag with new machine. I also have comments for the manufacture (if they ever read this review). I would like that you consider (1) making the rechargeable battery to be replaceable. You can make money selling battery module (this is better than the poor bag design) (2) design the DC motor and battery compartment to be "water tight". This way, it will prolong the life of your product (mine went dead from corrosion - even though I used it in KOI pond - no chlorine). (3) protect electronic component from corrosion (perhaps applied grease to each pin) *** Below is the original review of my first unit *** since July 2013 Like many of buyers, I was quite nervous after I ordered this Pool Vacuum. But on the other hand, I do not want to spend > $100 for pool vacuum for my experimental 300 gallon KOI pond either !! First of all, the shipment arrived quickly. Everything is well packaged. Initial inspection shows no sign of damage what so ever. In the box, I have the following items: - vacuum machine (that blue machine in the picture) - dirt trap with rubber o-ring, 2 microfiber dirt bags - nozzle head (the transparent plastic part at the top) - vacuum head with brush and roller (that blue triangular shape) - 1 small package of silicone grease - the vacuum handle extension (4 pieces) - mine come in white (plastic) and not aluminum as shown - instruction manuals - Power adapter Here are the steps taken: 1. Read (scan quickly) through all instructions. I give it a 7 (out of 10) in terms of clarity of what was written. It is important to understand that "you need to ensure proper grease on the inside cap of your machine at all time" This will (a) prevent water to get to the battery and (2) smooth out when you twist it to ON or OFF I must admit it is not the best design idea for On-OFF switch. But this thing is cheap, so this is not a complain. I check the grease and found that mine came properly greased. 2. Charge the vacuum. The charger has LED that will turn green when it is fully charge. Mine took about 2 hours. 3. Assemble the pieces together (I need to remove some residual sand. So, I user the micro-fiber bag). As my KOI pond is only 3-4 feet tall, I only need 2 sticks of the extension handle. Feedback after using it: - First use, I did not use the vacuum head (triangular piece) as there were lots of gravel - It does the job very well. The suction is quite good, suck up pea gravels, sand, leaves, pine straw and fish drops. I notice the suction drop off after a few mins. but this is due to the debris that clog inside the bag. After unload and rinse the dirt bag - - all is good. - I don't remember if this is written in the manual. But I will NEVER OPEN THE CAP until I finish the use. This is my own precaution to ensure no water will get to the battery chamber. - I used it several timed now. Each time for about 15-20 mins. I never turned it OFF, even when I change the dirt bag. So far, it runs ok - when done, I let the water drip off (takes about 30 sec), open the cap. Leave the extension handle as a stick to hold it up and let water drip down. dried it out - I will not recharge unless I am sure it is completely dry !! - so far, the grease on the cap are quite ok. But I will apply more soon. NOTE: one pack of silicone grease probably last just 1 summer. You will need to buy more. I have not check the price, but I will just use the normal grease I have in the garage as it seems to be the same just different color. Overall, I am quite happy with it. The quality of the machine is quite ok (all plastic of average quality - - it matches well with the price). Use it properly with proper care (apply more grease as needed. Do not leave it in full sun all the time). I believe this thing will last 2-3 years. *** Updated April 8 2014 *** I used it sparingly during the winter months. Each time always follow the same routine as explained above. So far, it still works great. Noticed that during cold weather, a fully charged batt did not last as long - - I guess this is normal for any batt anyway. Just re-greased it and now ready for spring + summer heavy dose of usage. *** Updated August 3 2014 // applied simple DIY and it can last longer *** well, just slightly over a year, of heavy usage, it will not recharged anymore. To test that only the battery is bad and not the DC motor, I plug in the AC/DC charger to the unit and use paper clip to short-circuit the 2 metal points (where the metal plate on the cap would have done the job)... and motor is running again. So, it is clear that the rechargeable battery is dead. Disconnect the connector, unscrew the 2 screws to see the battery looking for part# to order the replacement. Well, Water Tech does not sell this item nor that I can find it from anywhere. This means, this unit is useless and I may need to spend another $100+ for a new one. At that point, I had a eureka moment. I try the MacGyver approach. I cut the wire (red & black) as close as possible to the battery. Drop the battery in recycle bin. I have a long spool of 2-wire (the left over from sensors of garage door opener). I thread the external wire through one of the holes and connect it to the red&black ones (make sure to remember which wire connect to red), tape it nice, screw the cover plate back on. Drill a tiny hole on the white cap and thread the other end of the external wire through, use silicone to seal it. I make sure I have a this external wire long enough for use with the pond. Then connect the other end to the AC/DC adapter (the wire connected to red should connect to the inside wire of the adapter). Here it is, the unit has been modified and can be used directly with AC/DC adapter (be careful to seal and insulate all electrical wires properly to avoid any electrocute). And it works great, in fact better than with battery since it is driven directly from AC/DC adapter. Motor spins at max rate at all time without slowing down due to the loss charge. Anyhow, I don't think this will last forever, most likely the adapter will get overload at some point. NOTE: Do not try this if you do not have basic electrical knowledge. ... show more

    • 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
