Here are some quick Suction Pool Cleaner Troubleshooting TIps

• It’s essential to keep the skimmer and pump baskets clean to ensure proper functioning.
• If a cleaner stops and starts, check the suction flow and adjust the flow control valve in the skimmer box if necessary. The correct suction level is crucial for efficient movement and wall climbing.
• Excessive suction can damage the cleaner’s diaphragm or hammer.
• For troubleshooting, inspect the hose for air leaks, examine the diaphragm or hammer for damage or blockages, and check for air leaks in the filtration system.
• If the cleaner isn’t reaching all areas, adjust the return jets and hose weight, and consider using a leaf canister or a robotic pool cleaner for large debris.
• If the cleaner flips over, ensure proper hose length and correct placement of the hose weight.
