Polarbot Diveson Spa & Step Vac

Works perfectly once securely snapped together.
Quality of construction - appears well made and durable. This really works quite well - I’m impressed. As you work this across the pool bottom, you can see it pull in dirt from within 2" - 3" or so around the outside of the vac head. So, it does have some amount of suction and does not spit out what it sucks up. This is fairly light weight and should not stress even the cheapest of pool poles.

Upon receipt I did an initial inspection, disassembly, etc. When I put it back together, I found the main pieces that snap together could be easily pulled apart by hand. It seemed odd that the snap system wasn’t that strong. I thought it was snapped together completely as the pieces seemed fully seated against each other. It actually takes a bit more force than one would expect to get the tabs to interlock properly, even if you feel everything is properly seated. If not snapped securely, it is possibly this won’t run as two white round button switches that contact the wire mesh basket assembly won’t be depressed enough and will turn the vac off.

I’m using this in a 14,000 gallon in ground pool. I ordered this for quick clean ups in between the weekly ones the pool robot handles. Dealing with the big robot is a hassle and not fast. This vacuum seemed like a great solution.

My video and pics show what it picked up in about 3 minutes of run time. I was concerned it wouldn’t trap fine particles, but it actually did - even stuff only my finest mesh pool net gets. And it did not spit anything it trapped back out. I went on to vac most of my pool - about 15 minutes total run time on a battery that I was too impatient to charge upon unboxing. Charger wall brick glows red when charging. When in use, LED on vac near power switch glows blue when charge is sufficient to use.

The 3 piece pole that comes with this is suitable for very small and shallow pools or hot tubs, otherwise plan on using a legit pool pole. Clean up was about a 60 second process. So far, I am very happy with this - a great solution for those of use with larger pools that need to do quick, intermediate spot cleaning.
