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. If you check these and they are all connected, the next thing to do would be to make sure there are no air leaks in the hose.
Where do you put the weights on a creepy crawly?
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. from the swivel end of the cleaner. Balancing the Kreepy hose is the term for adjusting the Kreepy weights, to balance the hose and cleaner in the water.
Why is my Polaris Pool Cleaner stalling out?
Few problems may cause this stalling out. If you’re not getting intense pressure from the return line you attach to the automated pool cleaner, it might be that the filter, pump, or the cleaner’s booster pump is failed to function. Check your filter and pump first. If they’re working well, you’ve narrowed it down to the booster pump.

What should I do if my pool cleaner is not working?
POOL CLEANER IS NOT CLEANING 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. Suction cleaners also need a clean pool filter to both move and vacuum well.
Why does my pool cleaner keep turning over?
The water level in a pool is among the most frequent causes of an automatic pool cleaner to turn over. If the water level on the skimmer is too high, the water line is also near to the coping. When the cleaner begins to climb up the pool, it strikes the performance and flips onto its rear.

Why does my pool pump motor shut down?
If your pool pump motor starts but shuts down unexpectedly it is probably overloaded and the thermal overload protection device has tripped. This guide discusses what to look for to correct this issue. CHECK VOLTAGE – Measure the voltage level to the motor terminal. It should be within 10 percent of the voltage listed on the motor label.
Why is the shaft of my pool pump leaking?
Leaking Pump Shaft Seal Every pool pump has a mechanical shaft seal, which prevents water from leaking along the motor shaft, behind the impeller. When the shaft seal fails, it allows water to run down the backside of the seal plate, through the hole where the motor shaft slides through.
