Best hot tub vacuum
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.

Didn't work effectively
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.

Price to expensive
Easy to use but the price was way to expensive for the gritter

Easy to use, and it works
If you follow the instructions (or watch the YouTube videos) it's simple enough to use and it does work to hoover up small debris at the bottom of the hot tub. Any debris is kept inside the bulb and trapped at the filter from re-entering the water. To clean it simply unscrew and rinse down the filter. On the down-side it does seem rather over-priced! Recommended though for a tool that's conveniently small and does the job.

Great things come in small sizes.
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.

Pretty useless....
Kept coming apart when trying to use it and lifted next to none of the grit in the hot tub. Cannot recommend.

Not fit for purpose
This just does not work! I bought it based on the good reviews it got but very disappointed in the product. All it does is move the grit around

It works
I mean not much to say, it works. Do a few practice goes but it works really well as long as you follow the instructions.

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.

When the spa vacuum works, it does everything I need it for. The issues I have had are: 1. Latest unit I recieved - one of the two check valves was too tight to move. I replaced the valve using one from my prior broken unit. (Or else you would have needed to heat the valve leg to deform it slightly to allow it to move freely) 2. The rubber bulb will not last forever, expect a few years of use before it tears. 3. The debris screen works but could be secured better.
