Blue Diamond, Just got one!!

[ivyleager]

I'm about to order a pool buster to go with it for those times when just a few spots need cleaning.....as soon as I can find a decent deal on one. I'm thinking of getting the CG model.

Russell,

Save the pool buster box.....you may to return it for service work. There's been a few tale on here about problems within the first year or so.

When the PoolBuster works, you'll think it's the best thing since sliced bread. But the batteries can fail very quickly and the battery/motor must be replaced as a unit. I had to do it after the warranty ran out and it cost about $80, on a $200 unit. But since then it's been better than ever.

Also be sure to order the finer-mesh filter--I don't know why the unit wasn't sold with that in the first place--it makes it an all-purpose vacuum. I haven't had my suction side vacuum out of the basement in 3 years between that and my Blue Diamond.

Hi All,

I just purchased the "Pool Blaster MAX CG", and for my application (16K Gal IG Gunite pool with a tree leave problem) the Blaster is a toy that just wastes my time as I rearrange the debris and leaves on the pool bottom.

The advertising for this product says it flows "up to 61 GPM". This is misleading since the actual flow is much much less than that. It does seem to pick up small pebbles and dirt Ok after multiple vacuum sweeps, but for leaves, just forget it.

My reccomendation is to keep your money and use traditional vacuum sweeper and leaf eating roducts that are very inexpensive and effective. For illustration purposes two examples are shown here:

I'd purchase elsewhere however.

So if "Water Tech" has miss-represented the capabilities of the "Pool Blaster MAX CG" then why should I believe that the "Blue Diamond" is a good product?

See my other posts on the "Pool Blaster MAX CG".
