Important Tips:

• 

Store your Pool Blaster in a clean, dry place when not in use. Do not leave it under-

water, in direct sunlight, or exposed to extreme heat or cold.

• 

You may clean the Pool Blaster body with soap and water. Avoid using solvents 

when cleaning plastic parts.  Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various 
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.  Use clean cloths to 
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.

• 

The On-Off knob should be periodically lubricated with a silicon-based grease.

 

CAUTION:

 

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, 

penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts.  They contain chemicals that can damage, 
weaken, or destroy plastic

.

 

WARNING:

 

Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not approved for 

use with this tool.  Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous 
condition leading to possible serious injury. The batteries and motor are factory sealed in the 
motor box, and CANNOT BE REPLACED.  Do not attempt in any way to destroy or disassemble 
motor box or any of its components. Instead, take your Pool Blaster to an authorized service 
center. Failure to follow these instructions may void your warranty agreement.

• 

General maintenance of your Pool Blaster requires you occasionally clean off the O-

rings on the “ON-OFF” knob and add silicone lubricant/sealant. This will ensure easier 
turning and a water-tight seal. This lubricant is available at your local pool & spa retailer.

• 

In the Nose Cap (Part No. PBA002) there is a Flapper Valve.  To keep the Nose Cap 

Flapper Valve moving freely, clean the valve after every use.  This will help to keep 
dirt inside the Pool Blaster after the cleaner is removed from the pool.

Service Information

NOTE:

 

Any repairs requiring disassembly must be performed by a Water Tech Authorized 

Service Center.  For the repair center nearest you call us toll free at 1-800-298-8800. Unauthor-

ized repairs will void the warranty.

Storing the Pool Blaster

NOTE: State of the art Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries power the Pool Blaster.  These are the 

same batteries used in many portable phones.  In order to properly ventilate and cool the bat-

teries and drive system a certain amount of space is left open in the Pool Blaster body.  As a 

result, from time to time, water may enter the unit. In order to allow for any water to be drained 

you should remove the On-Off Knob after each use, turn the machine so the knob is towards the 

floor and tilt side to side in all directions.  The amount of water may be very small or not noticed 

at all.  After removing any water use a blow dryer on warm setting to dry any moisture build-up on 

the inside of the motor box.  Water entering the Pool Blaster body presents no safety hazard and 

should be drained to avoid any chance of long-term corrosion. .  The batteries and motor in the 

Pool Blaster are long lasting and proper care will help to prolong the life of your appliance. 

 

NOTE:

 

Remove Pool Blaster from charger before storage.

When not in use, your Pool Blaster should be stored indoors, in a clean dry location sheltered 

from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and rain.  Do not store the Pool Blaster in a garage 

or anywhere the unit could freeze. Storing the Pool Blaster in areas of high humidity can affect 

battery performance over time.
For your convenience the Pool Blaster has an oval opening in the pool pole adaptor on which you 

can hang the unit.

Long Term Storage

Follow the above storage instructions and unplug the charger from the electrical outlet.
When charging for the first time after long-term storage, your Pool Blaster may take 2-3 uses 
before full time is achieved.
