BWT PK Turbo Large Capacity Rechargeable Leaf Vacuum

 Battery Powered Leaf Vacs have come a long way over the years and the PK Turbo is the latest generation of portable leaf vacs designed for the pool owner. For pools with a lot of leaf debris, the only options on the consumer level were devices like a leaf bagger or leaf master which are powered by water from a garden hose. The PK Turbo gives you a great option for a Havy-Duty large-volume rechargeable pool vacuum. 




It has an amazing 20-inch cleaning path much like a large manual vacuum head. The swivel handle makes turning and maneuvering the PK Turbo a breeze. This is important because if you have ever used a Leaf Master (Leaf Bagger) type device the garden hose as well as the design of the body of the leaf vac hinders your cleaning ability and speed, Not so with the PK Turbo. You can easily whip around a pool and vacuum up leaf debris with ease.

The power rating is 600 and to translate that into simple terms, the PK Turbo is powerful and you will have no issues picking up piles of leaf debris. The power of the garden hose-type leaf vacuums is dependent on the home's water pressure. Not so with the PK Turbo. The Lithium-ion battery provides plenty of power for the motor. It also comes with an impressive 75-minute continuous run-time between charges. 

There is a nice included storage bag and the wings on the PK Turbo need to be removed before storage (it won’t fit in the bag otherwise). You can also use the PK Turbo without the wings in tight spots like an above-ground hot tub. This is a very versatile vacuum for sure. 

It comes with two debris bags which are decent in size. One is a standard 250-micron bag and the other is a 75-micron bag. It also comes with a cartridge filter bag which is rated for 50 microns. I think the cartridge filter bag still needs some refining but the two other bags will be perfect for all of your cleaning needs. They are durable and pick up a good amount of leaves and dirt (75-micron bag).

One thing to note that is not highlighted in the manual is that the PK Turbo will only turn on when it is completely submerged in water. So you will need to turn the unit on and then drop it into the pool or spa. Within 3 seconds the motor and propeller will engage. Just in case you think your unit is defective as it has a water sensor and only again will activate while in water.
