SWIMLINE HYDROTOOLS Mini Venturi Pool & Spa Vacuum

I was hesitant after reading some reviews, but it works fine for me. The fittings, if pushed on all the way, hold firm and it picks up trash off the bottom. 12’x3’ pool. It’s perfect for it.

Good product

This water-powered vac works remarkably well, and for the price, it's a very good value. It cleaned the bottom and seats of our spa very nicely and with minimum effort. The bag is far bigger than it needs to be, but I suppose it can also be used for gathering leaves and larger debris. The four slim, aluminum poles snap together easily if a bit flimsy, but sturdy enough. The thin poles make gripping a bit difficult so turning the vac head takes some practice. All assembled without fuss and does the job intended. The snap-on hose clamp works well, but needs a stout push to engage. No need to wade in and try to snag small particles, when you can hook up the hose and vac it all away. The mesh bag empties easily by turning inside-out. Other units, some with batteries cost many times more, but this gizmo does the work without wading in at a bargain price.

Works good but not great in shallow ponds. The water shoots out of top of using in a shallow ponds. Definitely picks up debris

Well I’ve bought these vacuums in the past for small pools and this is the first time I write a review for one because I want others to be aware of the flaws, now I’m not sure if I’m the first one to have this happen to or if others don’t know about the issue, but it does not work properly because it’s not sealed properly and it’s so flimsy no wonder it was only $13 I guess you get what you pay for, never again will I buy a cheap product and expect it to work

Works well for our 4 person hot tub. Was surprised how much suction from this device. Sets up easily, but be prepared for the amount of water that will be added after just a few minutes of use. Very good value.

Works well I just changed end because I needed a more flexible one for my spa

I am on a well system and my water contains a lot of minerals that, in time, leaves "sand" at the bottom of my hot tub. I bought this spa vac for ease of cleaning. The vac was easy to assemble, and worked pretty well for about a minute, then it didn't seem to be picking much up when I moved from the footwell to the seats. After another minute, the quick connect disconnected from the hose. I reconnected only to have it blow off again and again shortly after it was put into in use, even when I lessened the flow.. After numerous reconnections and picking up practically nothing, I finally gave up once I noticed cold water was escaping from the quick connect when I reached down into the tub, thus losing the vacuum action. The quick connect is a nice convenience, but it seems to be a bad design flaw for this application. A regular screw connection would have been a better choice. Totally useless now. Would have given it one star except it did work... for a minute.
