Troubleshooting/Hang Test
Doing this test pool side is invaluable. For the retail or service dealers retail location this
test can be accomplished using air. Procuring at least a 3hp Shop-Vac along with a
cleaner leader hose gets you most of the way towards building your own in-house
cleaner tester.
Attaching the leader hose cleaner end to the cleaner and the other end to the Shop-Vac’s
suction outlet makes a great tester without needing the water. In most cases the cleaner
will rotate faster than it does in the water but will allow you to see if it rotates both ways
with a stop in-between. The key is turning equally both ways +/- half a turn.
Note: This testing apparatus can be permanently installed as shown below.
