POOL BLASTER Catfish Gen 2 cordless spa & hot tub vacuum — 45-min battery, 8" omni head

The POOL BLASTER Catfish Gen 2 is a handheld, cordless rechargeable vacuum engineered to remove leaves, sand, and debris from spas, hot tubs and small above-ground pools quickly and without hoses.

Designed for spot-cleaning when a full pool system isn’t practical, the Catfish Gen 2 combines a lightweight ergonomic body with an 8-inch omni-directional head and an Xtreme multilayer filter bag. Its lithium-ion battery delivers up to 45 minutes of uninterrupted suction, and the device accepts any standard 1.25-inch telescopic pool pole, so you can clean while standing. The push-button release makes emptying the filter bag fast and sanitary, and soft bristles plus bumpers keep delicate vinyl liners and other surfaces safe during use.

How easy is the POOL BLASTER Catfish Gen 2 to operate?

It’s made for straightforward, grab-and-go cleaning: one push-button power and a comfortable grooved handle let you run the unit by hand or attach it to a pole. No complicated assembly or hoses are needed, so setup is usually measured in seconds rather than minutes.

• One-button on/off for simple operation
• Ergonomic rubberized grip for steady handling
• Compatible with standard 1.25-inch poles — no special adapter required
• Lightweight design reduces fatigue during cleaning

What debris and pool types can it handle?

The Catfish Gen 2 is optimized for small particles and loose debris found in spas, hot tubs and small above-ground pools. Brushes on the vacuum head dislodge dirt while the multilayer filter traps leaves, sand and grit for easy removal. It’s gentle enough for delicate liners yet effective on harder surfaces too.

• Removes leaves, sand, pebbles and fine sediment
• Brushes and bumpers protect vinyl and painted surfaces
• Works well in small above-ground pools, spas, and hot tubs
• Filter bag captures debris for hygienic disposal

How long does the battery last, and how is maintenance handled?

The rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives up to 45 minutes of continuous run time, suitable for quick maintenance sessions. Emptying and rinsing the Xtreme multilayer filter bag is simple thanks to the push-button release, and routine cleaning of the brush area keeps suction optimal.

• Up to 45 minutes per charge for focused cleaning
• Quick-release filter bag for mess-free emptying
• Easy rinsing of nozzle and brushes to maintain performance
• Low-maintenance — no hoses, pumps, or cartridges required

Will I need extra accessories to use it?

No special accessories are required for basic use — the vacuum works by hand and accepts standard 1.25-inch telescopic poles that many pool owners already have. The package includes the Xtreme multilayer filter bag, while additional replacement bags or a pole can be purchased if desired.

• Pool pole not included; compatible with standard 1.25-inch poles
• Includes Xtreme multilayer filter bag for improved capture
• Optional replacement filter bags available for extended use
• Doesn’t require hoses, external pumps, or adapters

Who is this for? The POOL BLASTER Catfish Gen 2 suits spa and hot tub owners, small above-ground pool users, and anyone who needs quick spot-cleaning without running a full filtration system. It’s ideal for homeowners seeking a portable, low-effort tool to keep small water spaces tidy between deeper cleanings, and for people who prefer cordless convenience and simple maintenance.
