COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: The ON-OFF knob has become difficult to turn. What can
I do?
A: Clean off the O-rings and add silicone lubricant/sealant. This
will ensure easier turning and a better water tight seal. Refer
to the maintenance section for more information.
Q: Can my Pool Blaster be run out of water?
A: Yes, for a short period of time when you turn it on before
submegring in your pool or spa or when removing it from
the pool or spa..
Q: When I am cleaning my pool how do I know when the
Pool Blaster is out of battery power?
A: Most people can feel the Pool Blaster is running through
vibration in the vacuum pole or handle. To be sure you can
lift it out of the water to hear if it is running or not.
Q: How often should I clean out my Pool Blaster filter bag?
A: You can clean your filter bag as often as you like with no
ill effects. The filter bag can then be turned inside out and
rinsed with a hose or in a sink. Do not wash it in a washing
machine or with detergent. For more detailed instructions,
see “Cleaning Your Pool Blaster” instructions in this manual.
For best results, do this after each use, or whenever you notice
the performance of your Pool Blaster declining.
Q: Is it normal for me to hear air escaping out of the Pool
Blaster when I open the On-Off knob?
A: Yes, the powerful motor heats the air in the motor box,
which then expands, creating the air sound.
Q: How can I stop dirt from coming out of the nozzle when I
take the cleaner out of the water?
A: There are two ways to remove the unit from the pool when
done cleaning:
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 filter bag?
A: The Pool Blaster comes standard with an all-purpose filter
bag. A Sand and Silt bag (Part No. PBW022SS) or a Microfilter
bags are available. To purchase contact your retailer or
see our website at www.PoolBlaster.com.
Q: What if I put the Pool Blaster in the pool without the On-Off
Knob in place?
A: Do not operate your Pool Blaster if water gets inside the
machine. Put the Pool Blaster 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 Blaster until it is completely dry.
Q: Can I leave my Pool Blaster on the charger all the time?
A: After charging is complete, the Pool Blaster and charger
should be removed from the outlet. This will prevent over
-
charging and prolong the life of your battery pack. IMPOR
-
TANT: Disconnect the charger before storing your Pool Blaster.
Q: Can I replace the batteries myself?
A: Under no circumstances should you attempt to open the
motor housing 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 Blaster to an
authorized service center.
Q: Where can I buy replacement parts?
A: Look for original Water Tech replacement parts at your local
retailer or on the web at www.PoolBlaster.com.
Q: Will my pool chemicals hurt the Pool Blaster?
A: The Pool Blaster 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 filter bag/seal ring.
Q: Can I leave the Pool Blaster in the pool when not in use?
A: No. The Pool Blaster 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 Blaster and its accessories.
Q: What do I do if my Pool Blaster does not vacuum?
A: Make sure your Pool Blaster 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.
