If your cleaner is barely moving or not moving at all there is a checklist of things to look for. The first thing is to confirm the main drain is closed. Now you want to check the wheel speed to verify the proper flow. You will also want to make sure the cleaner is set to the right cleaner mode. Next, you will want to check to see if any interior teeth of the tracks are worn. If so, it is best to get new tracks to replace them. If you notice there is a lot of debris in your pool then you should clean out the filter and empty the pump basket. Also, clean out any debris that may be inside the cleaner. The last thing you can do is check for air in the system. If the water level in the pump basket drops or you see excessive air bubbles in the pump basket or coming from the return lines, there is air in the system.
Cleaner Pattern Does Not Cover Entire Pool
The first step is to confirm the proper hose length for your pool, the hose length should reach the farthest part of your pool with an additional 6 inches past the water line. The float should be approximately 9 inches from the cleaner head when installed on the leader hose. You should also make sure the hose is not kinked or coiled. The next thing is to count wheel rotations to verify proper flow. The next thing to ensure the return line fittings are directed downward, add a return diverter if necessary. The final step is to observe the cleaner for more than 5 minutes and ensure that each drive track is periodically reversing direction.
