Pool Buster Catfish

[Sherra]

What is the difference between the Pool Buster Catfish and the regular Pool Buster? The only thing I can find on WaterTech's web site about the Catfish is that it was rated as one of the Top Products of 2006 by Pool & Spa News magazine...and I found that by doing a "google" search on pool buster catfish. I saw the Catfish on E-bay and noticed it's less than $100 new, so I was wondering what the difference is. I'm wondering if maybe the Catfish was discontinued and how they just do the Max and the commercial models.

I recently spoke with Adam at Watertech about the catfish. He said it is much smaller and really designed for small AG and Intex type pools. The PoolBuster pulls the water through the bag with an impeller, the batteries and motor are behind the bag.

It looks like the impeller is in front of the bag (somehow) on the catfish, maybe the batteries and motor are in the nose piece?? Anyway, it looks quite a bit smaller than a regular PoolBuster (which is acutally pretty large, almost 2 feet long when put together).

If you get one, let us know how it works, I'm thinking of getting one for my brother in-law.
