Water Tech Pool Blaster Catfish
There are plenty of ways to save money on the things that we like to do. The swimming pool is one of the most popular places to be in the summer. So why not start saving money on the way you clean your swimming pool. We don’t need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on super expensive swimming pool cleaners when you can spend less on one of the most effective swimming pool cleaners on the market today, the Pool Blaster Catfish by Water Tech.
Water Tech is the same company that has brought to our backyards the Aqua Broom, The Grit Gitter, the Blue Diamond Line, the Pool Blaster and the Pool Blaster Max. The Catfish was designed with the most advanced technology and the best engineers in the industry. Water Tech as been providing pool owners with their great products for over 40 years.
The Catfish is one of the most efficient pool cleaners on the market. The Catfish is powerful and can help you clean your pool in half the time it would take if you were to use the traditional vacuum head and vacuum pole. The Catfish has a rechargeable Battery Pack located in the unit’s motor box rather than the flashlight-style “D” cells used by the Aqua Broom.
This may not sound like such a powerful machine but don’t let the size or the batteries fool you. There are some swimming pool cleaning systems that have cords that you end up either stepping on, tripping on or maybe accidentally kicking into the swimming pool. But the Pool Blaster Catfish does not require hoses or any kind or cords of any kind. That is the beauty of the battery-powered swimming pool cleaner. By using the Catfish swimming pool cleaning system you will start saving money on your energy bills in no time.
How Makes the Catfish different than the other Pool Cleaners?
Not only does the Catfish run on efficient and less money it will take to run other pool cleaning systems but the Pool Blaster Catfish by Water tech offers a high water flow pump that allows the Catfish to work on the toughest underwater messes. The Catfish uses its patented Max Cine Technology.
This is a system that will allow the Catfish to pack in all of the dirt and debris that it does pick up. This leaves more room in the filter bag. This eliminates having to clean the bag in the middle of a pool cleaning. The All Purpose Bag is easy to empty and it doesn’t require you to put your hands into the bag as other cleaners do.
Where can I use my Catfish?
The Pool Blaster Catfish is a versatile machine. It can be used on above ground or in-ground swimming pools. It can be used on spas or hot tubs. The Catfish won’t rip or wear out any of pool liner or spa wall or floor. You can use the Catfish by Water Tech in a children’s pool too.
How long does a battery charge take for an Aqua Broom?
You should plan on changing the Catfish’s battery a full 6 to 8 hours for a full charge. If you know you are going to vacuum the pool for a party or event, leave the day before to allow for a full battery charge.
What are the benefits of using a Pool Blaster Catfish Pool Cleaner?
The Pool Blaster Catfish Swimming Pool Cleaner is a cost effective way to clean your swimming pool. Without the use of cords or hoses, you don’t have to connect the Catfish to your swimming pool filter system. All you do is place the Catfish in the water and turn on the switch. Another benefit is that you can clean your entire pool in less than an hour. There are no vacuum heads, hoses or poles to contend with. Everything is right there in one contained machine. The cost is affordable and you can even ship around on different websites to find the best price available. The Catfish will make a great addition to any swimming pool.
does this catfish run on the bottom of the in ground pool by it self ? or do I need a long pole to push the catfish around the pool ?
Rob,
The catfish attaches to the vacuum pole just like a vacuum head,
Let us know if you have any more questions!
I bought a Catfish cleaner last year. It is very convenient to use since it is small and just attaches to a pole.
HOWEVER, and right now this is a big however with me, this year it will not come on, although it was in working order when I stored if last fall. My guess is that it needs a new battery pack, and the manual says “do not attempt to change the battery yourself; take it to a service center.” Well as everyone knows there are a gazillion service centers just waiting to service a $100 pool vacuum cleaner. NOT. So I guess it is worthless now. Any suggestions? Because one season’s use for $100 is not a very glowing recommendation to buy the thing.
Thanks!
Danny,
How handy are you?
If you are handy you could just change the battery pack yourself.
Let me know if you are handy and I will let you know where to start,
I will keep an eye out for your response, if you decide to reply and still need help!

We have a pool blaster provided by our swimming pool contractor who is no longer in business, and did not supply us with warranty information, etc. We have been trying to find the company, for a service manual, and replacement parts. Water got into our unit and fried the power source. Can anyone provide us with whom to contact? We are in a very rural area, and as someone else mentioned, a service center is not in order and not needed as all we need is for someone to send us parts. Thank you.
Hi Duvall,
You can contact them through the website.
Contact them at: info@watertechcorp.com
They probably can help you out with what you need.
Let me know if you need more help!
To Wet Head Media Thanks; we also found another address which pointed us in th same direction.
I have a Pool Buster Max that is not working this year. I am handy and would appreciate any guidance on replacing the battery pack.
Thanks,
Regina
Hi Regina,
You will have to buy the replacement parts from pool blaster:
This is the Motor Box assembled and ready to install in any Pool Buster / Pool Blaster Max. Included a new On/Off Knob, “O” rings, Battery Pack, Seal, Charger & Instructions for easy replacement of your existing motor box.
Hi Regina, and folks ;-)
They also have an “upgrade” for this as well.
This is the Commercial Grade Motor Box assembled and ready to install in any Pool Buster / Pool Blaster Max. This will add 33% more Vacuum Power. Included is New Knob, “O” rings, Battery Pack, Seal, Charger & Instructions for easy replacement.
I too purchased this one year ago and loved it. However after storing the vacuum over the past year it doesn’t work anymore. Where do I take it to fix it? I actually took it apart to see if I could change the batter but there is a wire that is not connected and has caused a short in the entire vacuum. I’m feeling a little ripped off! Any suggestions?
I neglected to say that I bought the catfish pool blaster.
Every ad at various web-sites shows a picture of this cleaner on the pool surface. I have pools skimmers which clean the surface, which is not my need.
Does the catfish submerse for underwater cleaning of the bottom of the pool? If so, I’ll order one today!
