My Pool Cleaner Is Not 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.

If you notice air in your pump strainer you want to get that fixed and that should correct the problem with the cleaner moving. 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. Suction cleaners also need a clean pool filter to both move and vacuum well. There it is happily vacuuming the bottom of your pool when it suddenly just stops.

My hayward pool vac wasn t moving so i replaced the a frame and turbine kit. No matter where i move it it always makes it way back to the same section and does circles in that area. It now only stays in one section of the pool. 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.

Even if you clean the filter a test you can do is if you have a sand or de filter you can put the valve on recirculate and run the system. A handful of problems may cause this stalling out. You also need a vacuum when you flock the pool to get rid of sediment that s making the water cloudy. A common problem with automatic pool cleaners is they simply stop 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.

Also a dirty filter will prevent the cleaner from moving. Direct all pool returns towards the surface to allow the cleaner to easily pass under the moving water. This can be found at the wall or at the rear of the cleaner body. 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.

Pressure cleaners will usually have a setting that allows you to increase or decrease the flow to the cleaner powering the movement of the cleaner around the pool.
