Pool Blaster Battery Operated Volt FX-2 Pool and Spa Vacuum by Water Tech

In this article I go over the Water Tech Pool Blaster Volt FX-2. The Volt FX-2 is only sold at your local brick and mortar pool store and is not sold online. The Volt FX-2 would be great for your spa, kiddy pool or small above ground pool.



Over 600 retail pool stores carry the Volt FX-2 so finding it shouldn't be a problem. The FX-2 has plenty of vacuuming power and will easily pick up dirt and debris. It also comes with 2 fine mesh filter inserts for finer dust and silt. The Volt FX-2 also now comes with a new 2 year limited warranty.

I really like the Pool Blaster cleaners and use them everyday on my pool route. Currently I carry the Pool Blaster CG and the Pool Blaster Max HD in my truck and use them in spas, water features and to spot vacuum pools. My Pool Blaster Max CG is over 2 years old and still working fine. It is all in the proper care of the unit.

Care for the FX-2 is pretty simple. You will want to drain it completely after each use and I also suggest unscrewing it all the way often and using silicone lube on the O-Ring so that the battery area has a tight water seal, and lubing it up will prevent it from locking up on you. As calcium forms in the threads it can make it hard to turn the unit on and off – so proper lubing of the FX-2 is essential. I like the Aladdin Magic Lube II and the tube appears in the video also.



The FX-2 is similar to Water Tech's Aqua Broom, except that the FX-2 has a higher power rating 150 vs the Aqua Broom's 100 power rating. It is also better constructed and has an easy to remove vacuum head with a molded handle in front. Overall if you are looking into getting the Aqua Broom, also look at the FX-2.

Some of the nice features of the FX-2:

Large 8.5” cleaning path
weighs only 2 lbs
Attaches to a standard pool pole
Excellent vacuuming power
Easy to use
2 year limited warranty

As mentioned, it is a retail pool store only vacuum so you will have to get in your car and pick it up, which is a not a bad thing. By shopping at your local pool store you are helping your local economy and helping out your neighbors who work in the store. To honor your choice to shop retail verses online, Water Tech will extend the warranty from one year to two years.

I would recommend the FX-2 for you spa, small above ground pool and Kiddy pool. It takes 5 “D” batteries so the life and run time are dependent on how often you use the FX-2. Too me the only downside of the FX-2 is that it is not rechargeable – but you can always invest in rechargeable “D” batteries.

Overall you will be pleased with the cleaning ability of the FX-2. It is far superior to the Spa Wands on the market and with the two year limited warranty it is a safe investment for your spa or small above ground pool.

So if you are looking for a compact, effective and reliable battery powered vacuum check out the Volt FX-2. I also have reviewed several other Pool Blaster products over the last 2 years.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
