Pool Buster Owner’s Use & Care Manual
WHEN USING HANDLE: Lift from pool with the nose facing up to allow
the water to escape from the back and sides.
WHEN USING A VACUUM POLE: Remove the unit from the pool with
the bottom facing upwards and the handle facing down. This will allow the
water to escape and keep the dirt inside.
Q: How can I Prevent sand and silt from escaping through
the fi lter bag?
A: The Pool Buster comes standard with an all-purpose fi lter bag. A Sand
and Silt bag (Part No. PBW022SS) is available. To purchase contact your
retailer or call us at 1-800-298-8800.
Q: What if I put the Pool Buster in the pool without the On-
Off Knob in place?
Do not operate your Pool Buster if water gets inside the machine. Put the
Pool Buster on its side to drain the water out of the knob hole and tilt side
to side to get the water out. Do not use for at least 24 hours. If possible,
you can speed the drying process with a blow dryer. To avoid serious
injury or damage, do not replace the knob or attempt to charge or operate
your Pool Buster until it is completely dry.
Q: Can I leave my Pool Buster on the charger all the time?
A: After charging is complete, the Pool Buster and charger should be re-
moved from the outlet. This will prevent overcharging and prolong the life
of your battery pack. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the charger before storing
your Pool Buster.
Q: Can I replace the batteries myself?
A: Under no circumstances should you attempt to open the motor hous-
ing or battery housing. The batteries and motor are factory installed and
sealed, and your rechargeable battery should give you many hours of use.
If your motor, batteries, or charger stop working, take the Pool Buster to
an authorized service center.
COMMON QUESTIONS
COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: Where can I buy replacement parts?
A: Look for original Water Tech replacement parts at your local retailer or
call 1-800-298-8800 for more details.
Q: Will my pool chemicals hurt the Pool Buster?
A: The Pool Buster is designed to withstand pool chemicals during its
usage period. However, it should be rinsed off with fresh water after it is
removed from the pool. This will increase the life of the fi lter bag/seal ring.
Q: Can I leave the Pool Buster in the pool when not in use?
A: No. The Pool Buster should be removed from the pool and stored in a
clean, dry place when not in use. This will increase the life of your Pool
Buster and its accessories.
Q: Why does the light on the charger stay off when I charge
the Pool Buster?
A: The Pool Buster is being charged in trickle mode. This means that the
battery does not require a full power recharge cycle.
Q: What do I do if my Pool Buster does not vacuum?
A: Make sure your Pool Buster is completely submerged in the water and
the air is out of the clear funnel. The cleaner is only designed to vacuum
water and will not vacuum air.
If that does not resolve your situation please check the following:
•
Make sure the fi lter bag is clear of debris that may be obstruct-
ing the fl ow.
•
Make sure the Pool Buster is in the 12 o’clock “ON” position.
•
Charge your Pool Buster for at least 24 hours.
If none of the above help resolve the situation, please call our Customer
Service Division at 1-800-298-8800.
