Automatic Vacuum Problems

Sometimes an automatic vacuum cleaner will stop moving. If this happens, follow these steps.

1. Check the suction of the vacuum by putting your hand over the vacuum hole (keep your hand 1"-2" away from the port). If there is no suction, there is either something clogged in the vacuum hose/suction line or the the vacuum valve is not turned to vacuum suction. Remedying a clogged line may require blowing the lines out by a certified pool technitian.

2. If you have a pebble surface pool, sometimes the pebbles get caught in the feet or in the inside of the vacuum. Try getting those pebbles out if possible. You may need to take it into a service technitian to be serviced.

3. If the vacuum lines aren't clogged, check the components of the vacuum to see if there are any loose wheels, pods, or fixtures. Most components are usually tight fitting. If there are loose parts, take it into be serviced.

Most vacuums have a one year warrantee from the time you received it.
