What do you guys recommend to clean up small grit in the bottom of my spa. The water is super clean and clear so i don't want to do a complete drain yet but would like a good vac to just clean the bottom out.
Thanks for any recommendations.

I just got my first spa last week. What kind of vac did you settle on? And why? I'm trying to learn all I can so I've been doing a lot of reading.

I originally looked at the grit gitter but could not find one locally so i purchased the acqua quik (simple pump action, no hoses or hookups, cleans debis, dirt, leaves and rocks and has a filter basket and brush,nozzle attachments)
They had a display model setup in the store with a bucket of gritty/dirty water that i could test it out on and it seemed to do the trick.

I recently rebuilt a Cal Spa Hot Tub and have been really enjoying using it. I would like to get a vacuum to clean the bottom of the tub (it tends to accumilate sand and grit from friends not brushing off their feet). Looked at the Grit Gitter, and the Aqua Quick and wondered if anyone had tried or could recommend one over the other. Thanks Tim

Thanks for the guidance. I was nervous of the Grit Gitter for some unexplainable reason, but the one you linked looks much more reliable and is still economical. Thanks Tim
