POOLWHALE 48" Portable Pool Vacuum Jet Underwater Cleaner with Brush, Bag, and 4-Section Pole

CARLOS LUIS HERNANDEZ BRAVO: Parece un juguete pero es ingeniería pura. Es una mini draga de succión que se basa en una rama de la ingeniería que estudia el movimiento de los fluidos. Hace unos años, usando el mismo principio, fabriqué unas dragas pequeñas con flotadores para ríos con arenas auríferas. Estoy satisfecho con la compra en Amazon y a mi me funcionó muy bien porque mi piscina no es muy profunda. Pero si necesita mejorar la succión aumente la presión en la manguera. Hay varias formas de hacerlo.

Kindle Customer: We needed to clean fine silt from our pool so we modified the unit by using a 10 micron filter bag and an extension pole. We removed most of the silt on the first try.

Father: Water pressure is the key. Does what it is designed for. We have a 8000G pool and I need to do the floor 3 times, I waited 30mins between goes but got the floor clear

Tracy J ArreolaTracy J Arreola: I am very impressed with this little manual pool vacuum. When I received this item, I have to admit that I was very skeptical! I was looking for something that could vacuum the bottom of my inflatable pool as well as the doggie pool and that would not hurt my wallet! 😁 I followed all the instructions and decided to give it a try. Wow, this little fellow did a great job! I was amazed that it actually works. It was very easy to put together and it is very lightweight. One day my son came outside while I was using the vacuum. He commented on how he was surprised at the good job it was doing. It's a keeper for me. I have used this pool vacuum many times since this summer. This vacuum is holding up nicely. I do recommend this product for smaller above ground inflatable pools.

Mr. A.: There's a review on here which is quite hilarious, complaining that fine dirt particles aren't picked up. It'll pick up everything but it's only going to hold back what the net can contain (obviously!). For fine particles and sand, I stuffed some kids tights inside, and another pair over the outlet, and then the bag it came with on top of that. Dirt and sand etc sticks to the tights. Hardly rocket science.

My only issue with this is that the nozzle requires alarming force to get the hose on and off.

Dan Mueller: This is fine for a small pool. Ours is an inflatable soaking pool 10' x 6' x 2' deep. It's motorless and it filters. It adds water to the pool while it filters. A unique filtering method requiring you connect to a garden hose using a supplied quick connect. It works slow but pickup is impressive. I read some reviews saying their hose keeps falling off. The quick connect needs to be attached to the hose first and then both slide onto the filter head. It's a tight fit and you will know it's locked in position when you hear a click. Removal is you pulling a ring (that revolves on the quick connect) away from the head while pulling it away from filter head. You need to move the filter slowly for best experience. It's not good for deeper swimming pools which require powered and more expensive filtration

Lee: It does work, not great but some of that is down to what water pressure you have.
Got this to get the bits out of the bottom of a LayZspa after the kids have been in. As LayZspa's are round, it is not really possible to get all of the bits that collect round the edges. If I had better water pressure then it might just get those bits, maybe.

The frustrating part...
The hose connection - maybe it is just the type that I have on my garden hose (hozelock) but they do not fit onto this vacuum. Not a major thing aside you have to change the fitting on your hose each time you want to use it. The supplied fitting will also not grip a standard hozelock gun or sprinkler either so you cannot seemingly use it for anything else. Don’t lose or break the fitting or you may need to get a new vac.

Jody HarrisJody Harris: Update 2:
Buyer beware - I really tried to give this thing the benefit of the doubt.
I was going to return this but I forgot and missed the return window date.
This thing is pointless. All it picks up is the bigg stuff you can get with the pool net anyway... WASTE of $. Thanks to my forgetfulness, missing window to return, I'm now stuck with crappola I can't use (and no point in giving it to someone else). I've now tried this 5x and the fine dirt is STILL on the bottom of my pool. It just resettled and is so fine, it goes right through my sand filter and right back to the bottom of the pool again.

Update 1:
Final opinion? This thing is worth $15 at BEST. Can't for the life of me see how they think this thing is worth $30.

I had to reduce this to 3 stars. Quite honestly, if you're trying to get the fine dust up, you're gonna have to work for it.

Explaining the pictures: the one with the most dirt is the "before." The one with just the side of the pool is after 1st vacuum. The other pic is after the second vacuum.

With that being said, this thing is only going to pick up things that your hand-held skimmer will pick up. The only plus side to...
