My Pool Cleaner Is Not Moving

You also need a vacuum when you flock the pool to get rid of sediment that s making the water cloudy.

My pool cleaner is not moving.

There it is happily vacuuming the bottom of your pool when it suddenly just stops. If the vacuum doesn t seem to be doing its job the problem is usually easy to fix. Direct all pool returns towards the surface to allow the cleaner to easily pass under the moving water. Make sure that the cleaner itself is not clogged with debris that is limiting the flapper from moving.

No matter where i move it it always makes it way back to the same section and does circles in that area. A handful of problems may cause this stalling out. If you have a pool it will inevitably collect debris such as leaves sticks and dead insects and when these fall to the bottom you need a working pool vacuum to remove them. It now only stays in one section of the pool.

My hayward pool vac wasn t moving so i replaced the a frame and turbine kit. Additionally if you find your pool vacuum not moving check the hose segments to make certain there are no air leaks where the hose sections meet together. This can be found at the wall or at the rear of the cleaner body. Pool cleaner is not cleaning.

First if you find your pool cleaner not moving check the cleaner s hose to make certain it is strongly affixed to the suction line in the skimmer. Suction cleaners also need a clean pool filter to both move and vacuum well. If you notice air in your pump strainer you want to get that fixed and that should correct the problem with the cleaner moving. If your pool cleaner is moving around the pool normally but is not picking up debris the normal solution is to clear the clog in the suction throat or empty the debris bag or basket.

It now only stays in one section of the pool. A common problem with automatic pool cleaners is they simply stop moving. Also a dirty filter will prevent the cleaner from moving. A small stick a toy or even a piece of clothing can easily get trapped in the flapper that can cause it to stop moving.

You wait a few minutes to see if it ll restart on its own but no it continues to sit there waiting to be rescued.
