Although this vacuum may look small it is mighty and does the job. Very easy to operate. I have a 54 high 24 round above ground pool. I noticed using this little vacuum as opposed to my regular vacuum has helped a great deal in between heavy duty cleanings. The smaller handheld vacuum also picks up the fine nitty gritty sand where your regular pull vacuum can recirculate it back into the pool and I've noticed the pool stays much clearer. It has a lot of suction power. I was super amazed at how good it is. Now you don't have to pull out the big clunky heavy Pole and hoses to have a clean vacuum all the time. This little baby does a trick. I don't know how I ever lived without it. But I'll never live without one again. This really does the job I promise you. You will be impressed as I was. Of being an above ground pool owner for over 25 years I have come to find that this is well worth the money and it is so convenient. The minute you try it you'll be hooked for life. I think they really outed themselves when they found this little machine. Like I said don't let the size fool you. It's powerful and didn't even picks up little sticks and twigs which really impressed me. And the filter bag is so good that those little fine grains of sand do not get released back into your pool like it does with your regular pull vacuum. So I do hope you try this and enjoy it. I know cleaning the pool now is a pleasure. Thanks for listening.

We have a large gunite pool and a gunite spa. We also have two German Shepherd dogs who like to throw their balls into the pool and jump in after them. Those balls are generally covered in sand, dirt, and mud that then settles to the bottom of our pool and spa. We have a cleaning head with a net that attaches to our aluminum pole and the hose pipe. It uses water pressure to push debris into the net. This is fine for leaves and larger debris, but the sand and grit go right through it and re-settle into the bottom of the pool. This means that even if we get all the leaves out, our pool looks dirty all the time. Our only options for taking care of the dirt and sand are to either drag out our heavy electric pool shark that tends to get stuck around our drains and then has to be lifted out of the pool and cleaned, including all three of its filters, or we can drag out the hose that hooks into the skimmer. It does a great job, but sends dirt back into our filters, which then have to be cleaned more frequently. Enter the Pool Blaster Catfish Ultra! It worked great for picking up the sand, dirt, and grit that we are typically unable to get out of the bottom of the pool and spa. The plastic poles that it came with were fine for the spa and the shallow end of our pool. However, they were too flimsy for the 6 foot deep end of our pool. As other reviewers have mentioned, I left the bottom plastic adapter pole in place and attached our aluminum pole to that. It worked great for helping me keep the device submerged under the water. As others have also mentioned, this device must stay FULLY submerged under the water in order to function properly. If the top of it comes out of the water, it will not suction. For the steps and seating ledge, I was able to lay it back far enough to keep it under the water. You can also detach the longer poles and hold it by the adapter pole for steps. I do wish that it came with a large rectangular head that could be swapped out for the smaller triangular head. For the larger areas of the bottom of the pool, I had to make several slow passes to make sure that I covered the area completely. Also, I don’t feel that this device is great for larger leaves and debris. However, it is a good tool to have to keep our pool cleaner than we normally have been able to. It does require manual labor and it did take me a while to use it to get the bottom as clean as I wanted it. The filter was very easy to rinse out with a hose pipe. We rinsed the entire device and let it dry. We are keeping it inside our house. We have only used it once or twice, so I can’t speak to issues with charging. I will update my review if that becomes an issue.

This saved our summer!! We have an above ground pool. This year our sand filter was leaking sand back into the pool. We were ready to empty our entire pool and call it quits. My husband first bought one of the cordless robot 🤖 pool vacuums and it DID NOTHING for our pool! The sand was too small for that type of vacuum. Then we bought this one and it picked up all the sand/ algae and small debris. The battery lasted long enough. We did have to clean it twice but it was easy to empty out and clean. This worked excellent. Don’t waste your money on any other vacuum this one works perfectly!!Only thing I personally wish were different- the pole to attach it to was a bit longer. We used one we had and it made cleaning the pool easier. It was easy to use and durable ! I definitely recommend it!!

I have a Gunite pool and spa with a StoneScapes pebble finish. This info is for those of you with a similar pool so you will have an idea how this product will work in a similarly built pool.I bought this specifically for cleaning my spa since my pool vac is too big to use in the spa and other methods were difficult and not very good at getting the spa clean.The included plastic pole pieces are very cheap and flimsy. I attach my Catfish Ultra to my aluminum pool pole and it fits perfect. Attaching it to the aluminum pole also gives much better reach as it is longer than the included pole parts. I found that I had to extend the telescopic part of the pole a couple of inches to get the Catfish to fit since it will hit the inner pole if it is all the way in the outer pole.The vac itself is great. It cleans the loose pebbles, dirt, sand and small leaves without issue. The inlet on the bottom is too small to suck up larger leaves, but they are easy enough to clean out with my net. I can have the spa cleaned in just a few minutes with this vac.I have only charged it twice since I bought it last summer and I have cleaned the spa quite a few times with it.This vac has worked out perfectly for cleaning the spa and I will buy another one when this one quits working.
