Abstract: This invention provides a manual, self contained, portable, low voltage electric pool cleaner which draws its power from a surface mounted rechargeable battery. The invention uses pressurized water from a unique pump recirculating system to produce a powerful suction effect necessary for debris removal by an integral filter. All components are submersible except for the power source, which is either handle mounted, or attached to a belt harness worn by the operator. This arrangement precludes the need for external wiring and hoses, thus making the invention a truly portable pool cleaner.
