Q:
Can my cleaner be run out of water?
A:
Yes, for a short period of time when you turn it on before submerging into your
pool or spa. We recommend you turn the cleaner on just before submerging.
Q:
When I am cleaning my pool, how do I know when the cleaner is out of battery
power?
A:
Most people can feel the cleaner is running through vibration in the vacuum
pole. To be sure, you can lift it out of the wa ter to hear if it is running or not.
Q:
How often should I clean out my cleaner filter bag?
A:
It is advisable to clean out your filter bag after each use, or whenever you
notice the performance of your cleaner declining. For easy cleaning, the filter bag
can 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 cleaner" instructions in this manual.
Q:
Where can I buy replacement parts?
A:
Look for original Water Tech replacement parts at your local retailer, visit
www.PoolBroom.com, or call 1-800-298-8800 for more details.
Q:
Can I leave the cleaner in the pool when not in use?
A:
No. The cleaner should be removed from the pool and stored in a clean, dry
place when not in use. This will increase the life of your cleaner and its
accessories.
Q:
Can I leave the batteries in the cleaner all the time?
A:
For long term storage, it is best to remove batteries from chamber. For day-today use, you can leave the batteries in t he cleaner. It is a good idea to
periodically check the battery chamber for moisture and drain/air out if necessary.
Q:
How can I prevent sand and silt from escaping through the filter bag?
A:
A fine mesh vacuum bag, part no. BRFM, is available to purchase. Contact
your retailer, visit www.PoolBroom.com, or call us at 1-800-298-8800.
Q:
What do I do if my cleaner does not vacuum?
A:
Make sure your cleaner is completely submerged in the water. The cleaner is
only designed to vacuum water and will not vacuum air.
Check the following:
Make sure the filter bag and head cover are clear of debris that may be
obstructing water flow.
Make sure the cleaner is turned on.
If none of the above help resolve the situation, please call our Customer Service
Division at 1-800-298-8800.

clean dry location sheltere d from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures,
and rain. Do not store the cleaner in a garage or anywhere the unit
could freeze.

solvents when cleaning plas tic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
da mage from va r ious types of commer cia l s olve nts an d m ay be

grease, etc.
General maintenance of your cleaner requires you to occasionally clean
off the O-rings on the head and add non-curing, non-toxic, high-temp,
silicon lubricant/se alant, such as Dow Corning 111. This will ensure
easier turning and a watertight seal. You can order lubricant directly from
Water Tech (Part No. PBLUBE) or at your local pool & spa retailer.

USING YOUR CLEANER
The Pool/Spa Cleaner is designed for general cleaning in all types of
pools and spas. Use with caution for heavy cleaning - do not attempt to
vacuum up large or sharp objects. The removable filter bag should be
inspected and cleaned after each use.
Bring your cleaner to the side of the pool or spa and turn it on. The
Pool/Spa Cleaner is in the “on” position when the head is rotated fully
and the two in dicator lines on the head and neck match up. This must
be done outside of the water before it is submerged. Once the
cleaner is on it can be completely submerged in water and is ready for
use.
It is very important to make sure t he unit is sealed and in the on position
before submerging. Do not submerge the unit until indicator lines
meet. Your cleaner should never be left in the water when off, as
leakage can occur.
NOTE: The cleaner is only designed to vacuum water and will not
vac u u m ai r. T h e cl e a ne r wi l l on l y w o r k w h e n co m p le te l y
submerged in water.
STORAGE:
A certain amount of space is left open in the Pool/Spa Cleaner body in
order to ventilate and cool the motor and batteries. From time to time,
water may enter the unit. It is very important to drain the unit completely
between uses.
To st ore the Pool/Spa Cl ean er, remove power he ad fro m battery
chamber. Invert battery chamber to make sure any water in chamber is
drained. (Hold batteries in place with your thumb so they don’t f all out.)
Leave power head and battery chamber separated until next use. For
best care, remove batteries fro m chamber after each use.
Unit must be submerged in water to operate properly.

indoors

place. Do not leave underwater, in direct sunlight, or exposed to
extreme temperatures.
For long term storage, remove ba tteries from your Poo l Broom.

Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the vacuum. They may
damage the vacuum and the filter bag.
Do not use to pick up toxic substances, flammable or combustible
liquids such as gasoline, or operate in the presence of explosive or
flammable fumes.
Never insert or drop any object into any opening on the device. Keep
all openings free of leaves, rocks or anything that may reduce water
