Grit Gitter Underwater Vacuum Handheld Swimming Pool Hot Tub Spa Accessory, Blue, 60A0102

This is a perfect little hand pump vacuum for removing debris from your tub. I have a larger gadget but it is difficult to store. I would buy this again and again.

Found this didn't work and just as I got the grit up it came apart putting the grit back into the hot tub. Came also in a lot of plastic (large plastic tub). Disappointed with this product but it was cheap.

I resisted buying a Grit Gitter for twenty years, as they seemed nasty and plastic and very overpriced. Having gone through a couple of other solutions, I finally gave in and bought one. They are, indeed, nasty and plastic and overpriced. But they work better than anything I've used so far, does the job - very practical and easy to store/use. I doubt the construction will last a lifetime, but we'll see. The filter element is particularly flimsy.

Very expensive product for what it is, but works ok!

I seen this been used on a you tube page. As when you’re cleaning the pool the big cleaner can’t get to the inner edges of the spa. Then I thought lord am going to have to lean over for ages over spa. Nope I sit in the spa before I get out and go around the edges and get all the grit and bugs. It’s easy and to use and u can get other parts to go with it that would help if tall. It’s the best thing I have bought for the spa so far. It’s well worth spending the money as some of the grit and dirt u wouldn’t see as it’s light in colour. This wee filter gets it all.

This product could be great, and does work very well, when it is not falling apart. The collection pod (dark blue bulb) falls off frequently, spilling all the grit collected back into the tub. It is a real shame that the 'design' stopped at the suction mechanism. Really hope the manufacturers/designers change the way the bulb connects to the suction mechanism.

This item won’t connect no matter what we do, multiple people have tried many times and it just won’t stay together. Can’t even get to the stage of collecting any grit because it all just falls apart! Totally useless and a waste of money.

For some reason, I avoided buying this thinking I needed something more complicated. Also think the name and branding is pretty awful. This is the thing tho, it's good, very good, very easy and very little to go wrong. It you love it enough, it can float in the hottub and pick it up when you find some grit to get rid of. Saves all that emptying and refilling and everything looks sparkly clean.

I bought this for one reason: to suck up the occasional small amounts of sand which works its way into our hot tub. Since I don't mind scooting around on my hands and knees while I'm in the hot tub, this looked like a simple, low-tech way to address the problem. I am pleased to report that, for this limited purpose, the device works very well. It is ingeniously designed to suck up the grit but keep the dirt and debris from escaping while you are using it (at least until it gets full......more on that in a moment.) So, if you have a hot tub and want to rid yourself of a SMALL amount of bottom-dwelling debris, this little device will do the job. The only thing which some people might find at least a little annoying (not me) is that you have to empty the device fairly often. I have an 8-person hot tub which had a small amount of sand and debris on the bottom, and I probably had to empty the device 10 times. Since it only takes 10 seconds to unscrew the top, toss out the water and debris, screw on the top and get back to cleaning, this isn't a big deal to me. (If you don't clean the device frequently, you'll find that after about ten "sucks", you will lose some debris when you squeeze the device to make the next pick up.) The device also works best on stuff which is laying on a hard surface. While it can be used for stuff floating or suspended in your water, you might "chase" the debris before you suck it up. I've seen some people ask whether you can use this on an actual swimming pool, and my advice in that regard is clear: Unless you are a Buddhist Monk and are accustomed to building sand castles one grain of sand at a time, you will find that cleaning an entire swimming pool with this device to be maddening. While it is effective in SMALL areas, it will take you several weeks to cover the entire bottom of a swimming pool.

I had sand and other particules at the bottom of my SPA and was hesitant to buy a powered vacuum cleaner (very expensive) or this manual one. I am not disappointed, it works great. It's more work for sure but it works :) and it saved me big bucks !

This is about one of the worst products I’ve bought on Amazon , the grit gitter does nothing but just push any dirt your trying to get all over the tub , a turkey baster for 1 dollar would do a much better job ! I was actually pretty excited when it showed up , but man what a piece of crap !

Product does not work. Leaves tons of residue on bottom of my cold plunge and leaks the few things it does pick up. Tried to return with everything fully intact and they essentially kept all of my money. Do not waste your time it is a scam and they won’t refund you.

I purchased the Grit Gitter for a free standing hot tub at my vacation home. Over the course of 3 years since we installed the hot tub, I have had 3 different vacuum devices to clean the grit out of the bottom of the hot tub (they all broke!) So far, this one works the best, but it's not perfect. It does pick up most, but not all grit. It can also be somewhat awkward to use, as you have to put on a swim mask and hold your breath to reach some of the deeper corners of the hot tub(as a previous reviewer noted). I would give 4 stars if it was longer!
