What Is The Best Pool Vacuum For An Above Ground Pool?

Steel-walled above ground pools are known for their flexible installation, affordability, and stability. To keep it looking like new, you need a pool vacuum that is flexible, easy to use, and powerful! Our handheld pool vacuums provide just that:

  • Flexible: Look for a  battery-powered pool vacuum that operates independently of your pool filter and hose. This will make sure you don’t have to worry about dragging hoses or cords across your pool. The Pool Blaster® Centennial™ Li is a durable, cordless, and hoseless pool vacuum for flexible cleaning.
  • Easy To Use: You’ll want any handheld pool vacuums to be lightweight and activate at the press of a button. Whether you’re doing a full-cleaning or a spot-clean, you can attach our vacuums to any telescoping pole for maximum convenience. The Pool Blaster® Catfish® Li is a lightweight (less than 3 lbs), compact, versatile vacuum strong enough for spas to small pools!
  • Powerful: Your pool vacuum should have high-capacity filters, powerful motors, and an adaptable vacuum head to suck up dirt and debris in all corners of your pool. The original Pool Blaster® Max™ Li above ground pool vacuum can clean the entire pool in minutes and spot-clean in seconds.

What Is The Best Pool Vacuum For An Inflatable, Quick-Set Or Intex Pool?

Whether you just picked up your quick-set/Intex pool or you’ve had one for a while, we’ve got you covered. Here are main features you’ll want in your pool vacuum for your Intex, quick-set or inflatable pool. 

  • Low Minimum Operating Depth: Some pool vacuums require a larger minimum operating depth that may not be available in your Intex, quick-set or inflatable pool. You’ll want to make sure that your vacuum can handle that. The Pool Blaster Aqua Broom has a 5-inch minimum operating depth, which is great to squeeze into those smaller places!
  • Compatibility With Pool Material: Intex, quick-set, and inflatable pools often have vinyl and/or PVC sides. You’ll want to make sure your pool vacuum is suitable for those materials. The Pool Blaster Aqua Broom Turbo is not only compatible with these materials, like our other pool vacuums for this pool type, it also has a 8-inch vacuum head to sweep up more dirt quickly.
  • Easy Assembly & Operation: You can be assured that all our pool vacuums are easy to assemble and operate. In specific, the Pool Blaster Aqua Broom line is incredibly easy to operate, running on 2 alkaline batteries with a simple, on/off switch.

Our whole Pool Blaster Aqua Broom line is highly suited for this pool type, as well as many other vacuum lines. Check out more Intex, quick-set or inflatable pool vacuums.

What Is The Best Pool Vacuum For An Inground Pool?

To fully enjoy your inground pool, you need a versatile pool vacuum to reach all the levels, steps, and corners of your pool. 

  • Powerful Versatility: You don’t want to struggle with your inground pool vacuum. Choose a pool cleaner that is powerful enough to get all crevices and corners in your inground pool. The Pool Blaster Max Li includes a 10.5-inch vacuum head to get into all the hard-to-reach spots!
  • Maximum Convenience: Is pool cleaning a chore you don’t have time for? Choose a robotic pool cleaner! But, before you go picking the cheapest one on Amazon, take a look at the reviews. How long are these robots lasting? How well do they clean? Are they going to skip the same sections of your pool every time? For a robotic pool vacuum, picking the cheapest model may mean you’ll have to replace them sooner than later. The Pool Blaster CX-1 is the most advanced residential pool robot in the industry. It is rechargeable with a 4-hour runtime, AND it can clean both your pool floor plus the walls – a definite time-saver! You’ll save money in longevity as compared to flimsier models. Take a look at our robotic pool cleaner FAQ!
  • Mess-Free Skimmer Emptying: No one likes cleaning the skimmer basket (yuck). Make the job hassle-free with the Pool Blaster Dynamo. 

Inground pools require their own special cleaning techniques and technology. Lucily, the perfect inground pool vacuum is closer than you think!

What Is The Best Pool Vacuum For My Spa Or Hot Tub?

You’ve got a spa or hot tub? How relaxing! Make the experience the most pleasurable it can be with the perfect hot tub or spa vacuum! Here’s what you should look for: 

  • Portable & Lightweight: You definitely want something cordless, lightweight, and portable. (Who wants to deal with a cord or hose yanking you back from the deepest clean?) The Pool Blaster Catfish is cordless, hoseless, and less than 3 lbs to make for ultimate convenience.
  • Fine Filtration: Sitting on sand in a hot tub is no one’s idea of a good time. To prevent this, you are going to want a spa vacuum that has high suction and a maximum debris/fine particle filter. The Pool Blaster iVac® 150 features 3x debris capture capacity and is twice as powerful as competing standard spa vacuums.
  • Low minimum operating depth: We know that spas and hot tubs are not made to be deep, so you’ll want a vacuum that can operate under those conditions. The Pool Blaster Aqua Broom has a 5-inch minimum operating depth, which is great to squeeze into those smaller places!
