Why does my pool vacuum stay in one place?
The stronger the water flow, the more likely it is to get stuck in one place. You need some suction though or the pool won’t get cleaned properly. The easiest solution is a flow keeper valve. A flowkeeper valve is a valve that regulates the flow of water through the hose going to the cleaner.

Why does my pool vacuum need to be replaced?
Answer: The pods might need to be replaced. Where the pods fit on to the A-frame can become loose over time, allowing for a lot of movement. They should fit snug. Also, check the rubber shoes to make sure they aren’t worn down.
