An older standard Algae Free cleaner with a fixed pad doesn't have to be replaced outright to get the Plus Series' detachable blade convenience - the Plus Upgrade Kit converts it directly.
Why Upgrade Instead of Replace
The magnet assembly and core cleaning mechanism on a standard Algae Free cleaner typically outlasts the pad itself, so replacing the entire tool just to gain detachable-blade convenience is unnecessary spending when an upgrade kit accomplishes the same thing.
What the Plus Upgrade Kit Offers
- Converts a standard Piranha, Hammerhead, or Tiger Shark magnetic cleaner into a Float Plus model.
- Adds the detachable, replaceable blade system that the standard versions don't include.
- A cost-effective upgrade compared to buying a new Plus Series cleaner outright.
Setup Tips
- Confirm your existing cleaner model (Piranha, Hammerhead, or Tiger Shark) before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Follow the included conversion instructions closely for a secure fit.
- Stock replacement blades once converted, since the whole point of the upgrade is easy pad swaps going forward.
