With the cleaner connected and running, hold the cleaner by the hose, below the water line. If the cleaner is turning in one direction only, this will cause the hoses to twist. This is a sign the gearbox needs to be replaced. If the cleaner turns both ways with a stop in-between, place the cleaner on the pool floor.
What causes a pool hose to collapse?
If the maximum flow rate of the pump exceeds the maximum flow rate for the plumbing supply lines, the pump is too large for the plumbing system in the pool. This results in too much suction that is causing the hose to collapse.
Why does my Hayward pool Vac go in circles?
Is it spinning in circles or getting stuck in corners instead of going around the pool? There are an assortment of gears and moving parts inside the Navigator that need to be checked and replaced now and then. Sometime, it’s just debris interfering with the movement of the gears.
Why is my zodiac pool cleaner not working?
If your Zodiac pool cleaner stops and starts, the first thing you might want to do is check the suction flow coming through the hose. You will need your pump on for this operation.

How do I uncoil my pool hose?
If the weather is cooler, lay the hose out straight and fill it with warm (50-60ºC) not boiling water. Roll the waterside to side until the hose warms up and uncoils.

Why is my Hayward pool cleaner not moving?
The hose might be too short. First, check to see that the hose extends two full sections past the furthest point in the pool. Check to see that the return line(s) are not affecting the cleaner’s movement (pointed down preferred). Use the “vacuum gauge”, or “flow gauge” to measure the vacuum in the cleaner hose.
Why is my Hayward pool cleaner moving slowly?
If your Hayward pool vacuum becomes too slow to clean your pool effectively, the vacuum likely has a blockage or the shoes and wings need to be replaced. If these items are not yet worn, look for blockages in the pool vacuum to boost suction and speed.
Why does my pool vacuum not move?
If you have a suction pool cleaner that is not moving, check the cleaner hose. It should be firmly attached to the suction line in the skimmer or the cleaner line. For these types of pool cleaners, the culprit is usually a problem with the hoses that are either clogged or not connected properly.
Why does my pool vacuum stay in one place?
This is most likely caused when pool cleaners are left in the pool 24/7. When the water is cold or cools off from a warm day, the plastic in the hose gets a memory and curls slightly. Pool cleaner manufacturers recommend that the hose be stored out of the pool in a straight, flat position.
Why does the creepy stop working?

Where do pool hose weights go?
Hose weight placement depends on the depth of the pool. For pools 4′ deep or less, use 1 hose weight 4″ to 12″ from the cleaner. For pools of 4-7′ deep, use 2 weights, one 4″ to 12″ from the cleaner and one 6′ from the cleaner. For pools from 8′ to 12′ deep, use a third weight, placed 10 ft.
Why does my Kreepy Krauly not sit flat?
It’s all about getting the right amount of flow through the diaphragm so it levels out and works right. That adapter allows for adjustments due to different sized pumps so it can ge dialed in for more or less suction. Well I did install the part where I can control the suction and it still doesn’t want to lay flat.
What happens when a vacuum line collapses?
Engine does not run smoothly When a vacuum hose fails or is leaking, another side effect is that the engine will run very rough. Typically the Check Engine Light will illuminate when this problem occurs, but it is possible that there could be problems with the sensors which bypass this warning.
