Troubleshooting
Cleaner is floating or lifting, Hose is twisting or curling
Step A
Step D
Step B
Step C
Note: Since the cleaner is heavier than water, the only way it can float is from an external source.
This is usually caused by air trapped in the cleaner or on the hose.
Ensure all air is removed from the cleaner and hoses. Refer to
installation section
Verify the cleaner hoses are tightly connected to prevent the
suction of air.
The pools return fittings may be creating water current which is
pushing the hose, causing the cleaner to lift. Reposition fitting.
There may be air bubbles on the outside of the cleaner hose
caused by a suction leak or ozonator. In extreme cases a set
of V130LF hose can be used when a ozonator is present.
Hose is twisting or curling
Twisting: If the hoses are twisted like a pretzel, it is from a cleaner turning in only
one direction. See pages 35 & 36.
Curling
: Due to improper storage. Lay the hoses straight in direct sunlight to
straighten. In certain cases the hoses may need to be replaced.
