Back To Grit Gitter Main Page

Developed  by hydraulics engineer, Michael Stoner, according to GLS Corporation of McHnery, the nation's leader in innovative thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions the Grit Gitter produces a 1.5 psi of vacuum.
Grit-Gitters Hydraulically engineered to amazingly quick remove dirt and debris from all above-ground pools, spas and hot tubs. Exceptional for quick clean-ups of steps and stairs for in ground pools as well. Great (and fun for them) to keep your kid's wading pool cleaner clean and healthier!

 

Easy To Use! Easy To Clean!

 

1. FILL THE BULB WITH WATER
by submerging the Grit-Gitter with the bulb end down. Squeeze the bulb one or two times to help remove the air.

2. AIM & SQUEEZE
in one smooth easy motion, squeeze the bulb, and releasing the bulb quickly, move the Grit-Gitter forward (3 to 6 inches) over the grit. A momentary delay before squeezing again works best.

3. CLEAN
Not only does the Grit-Gitter make cleaning easy, it cleans easily too. Just empty the contents outside your tub and rinse the screen. Clean frequently, or whenever squeezing the bulb squirts grit and water out of the nozzle.

To empty the debris, rotate the bulb counter-clockwise 15" and pull the bulb/ring straight away from the body. Dump the contents outside the tub. Fill the bulb with water and pour over the screen to rinse all the debris off the screen. Be sure no debris remains in the connection area so that there is no interference when you reassemble the bulb to the body. To reassemble, line up the red mark on the body and the red dot on the ring. Push the bulb into the body and rotate the bulb clockwise 15" until the ring locks in place.

GRIT-GITTER STRETCH
The Grit-Gitter Stretch works best when the water level in the tube is the same as the water level of the body of water being vacuumed. Separate the blue fitting at the bulb end from the yellow tube. Submerge the nozzle end and tube and let it fill with water. Reattach the bulb end of the Grit-Gitter. If suction seems sluggish, make sure the bulb is locked tight into the blue fitting. To maximize suction, release the bulb quickly after squeezing. The Grit-Gitter Stretch operates and is cleaned just like a standard Grit-Gitter. For easiest cleaning, keep debris in the nozzle end by keeping that end lower.

NOTE: Anything larger than 3/8" in diameter could dislodge the Grit-Gitter's inflow check valve. If this should happen, empty the debris and reattach the check valve by hooking the posts into the appropriate slots.

The Grit-Gitter is designed to come apart under stress to prevent parts from breaking. If your Grit-Gitter should come apart, simply reassemble it as you would after cleaning.
