2Pool Buster Owner’s Use & Care Manual
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a top-quality Water Tech prod-
uct which has been thoroughly tested to meet our exacting quality control
standards.
State of the art Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries power the Pool Buster.
These are the same batteries used in many portable phones. In order
to properly ventilate and cool the batteries and drive system a certain
amount of space is left open in the Pool Buster body. As a result, from
time to time, water may enter the unit. In order to allow for any water to
be drained you should remove the On-Off Knob after each use, turn the
machine so the knob is towards the floor and tilt side to side in all direc-
tions. The amount of water may be very small or not noticed at all. After
removing any water use a blow dryer on warm setting to dry any moisture
build-up on the inside of the motor box. Water entering the Pool Buster
body presents no safety hazard and should be drained occasionally to
avoid any chance of long-term corrosion. The batteries and motor in the
Pool Buster are long lasting and proper care will help to prolong the life of
your appliance.
These guidelines and safeguards help insure that your new Pool Buster
operates effectively. Please read all instructions carefully before using
your Pool Buster. Please take a few moments to review the following IM-
PORTANT INFORMATION before using this tool.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
THIS PRODUCT. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS,
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR MAY VOID
YOUR WARRANTY.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: Where can I buy replacement parts?
A: Look for original Water Tech replacement parts at your local retailer or
call 1-800-298-8800 for more details.
Q: Will my pool chemicals hurt the Pool Buster?
A: The Pool Buster 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 Buster in the pool when not in use?
A: No. The Pool Buster 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
Buster and its accessories.
Q: Why does the light on the charger stay off when I charge
the Pool Buster?
A: The Pool Buster is being charged in trickle mode. This means that the
battery does not require a full power recharge cycle.
Q: What do I do if my Pool Buster does not vacuum?
A: Make sure your Pool Buster 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.
If that does not resolve your situation please check the following:
• Make sure the filter bag is clear of debris that may be obstruct-
ing the flow.
• Make sure the Pool Buster is in the 12 o’clock “ON” position.
• Charge your Pool Buster for at least 24 hours.
If none of the above help resolve the situation, please call our Customer
Service Division at 1-800-298-8800.

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 Buster comes standard with an all-purpose filter bag. A Sand
and Silt bag (Part No. PBW022SS) is available. To purchase contact your
retailer or call us at 1-800-298-8800.
Q: What if I put the Pool Buster in the pool without the On-
Off Knob in place?
Do not operate your Pool Buster if water gets inside the machine. Put the
Pool Buster 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 Buster until it is completely dry.
Q: Can I leave my Pool Buster on the charger all the time?
A: After charging is complete, the Pool Buster and charger should be re-
moved from the outlet. This will prevent overcharging and prolong the life
of your battery pack. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the charger before storing
your Pool Buster.
Q: Can I replace the batteries myself?
A: Under no circumstances should you attempt to open the motor hous-
ing 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 Buster to
an authorized service center.

Q:The ON-OFF knob has become difficult to turn. What can
I do?

A:Yes, for a short period of time when you turn it on before submering into
your pool or spa.
Q: When I am cleaning my pool how do I know when 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 Buster filter bag?
A:You can clean your filter bag as often as you like with no ill effects. The

Buster when I open the On-Off knob?
A:Yes, the powerful motors heat 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 clean-
ing:

Storing the Pool Buster
NOTE: State of the art Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries power the Pool
Buster. These are the same batteries used in many portable phones. In
order to properly ventilate and cool the batteries and drive system a cer-
tain amount of space is left open in the Pool Buster body. As a result, from
time to time, water may enter the unit. In order to allow for any water to be
drained you should remove the On-Off Knob after each use, turn the ma-
chine so the knob is towards the floor and tilt side to side in all directions.
The amount of water may be very small or not noticed at all. After remov-
ing any water use a blow dryer on warm setting to dry any moisture build-
up on the inside of the motor box. Water entering the Pool Buster body
presents no safety hazard and should be drained to avoid any chance of
long-term corrosion. . The batteries and motor in the Pool Buster are long
lasting and proper care will help to prolong the life of your appliance.
NOTE: Remove Pool Buster from charger before storage.
When not in use, your Pool Buster should be stored indoors, in a clean
dry location sheltered from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and
rain. Do not store the Pool Buster in a garage or anywhere the unit could

HOW TO USE YOUR POOL BUSTER
11
Pool Buster Owner’s Use & Care Manual
Your Pool Buster has a unique patented vacuum head that can be adapted
to use on all types of pool surfaces. We recommend the following:
• For gunite, we recommend using the five (5) wheels (part
no.PBW050) which came with your Pool Buster. The five wheels
are inserted into the vacuum head (part no.PBA006), as shown
in the diagram.To prevent damage to your pool, ensure all five
(5) wheels are fully inserted into the vacuum head before you
begin use. NOTE: Inserting the wheels into the vacuum head
may require a good deal of force. If you have trouble, you may
find it easier to insert them by placing on a hard surface and
pushing down on the head.
• For vinyl liner and fiberglass pools we recommend using the
eight (8) brushes (part no.PBW049) which came with your Pool
Buster. The eight (8) brushes are inserted into the vacuum
head (part no.PBA006), as shown in the diagram.To prevent
damage to your pool, ensure all eight (8) brushes are fully
inserted into the vacuum head before you begin use.
Note: Wheels OR Brushes must be installed prior to use.
Water Tech is NOT responsible for damages to your pool if
neither the wheels nor brushes are installed in the vacuum
head before use.
CAUTION: Do not use the Pool Buster vacuum head without either the
supplied wheels or brushes inserted.
