I cracked open the bearing and took away the splitted metal ball. The bearing seems to work completely fine with 1 less ball. Put everything back together and it’s happily working again.

How can I change the pattern of my pool cleaner?

Changing the pool cleaner pattern is accomplished on pressure cleaners by adjusting the Thrust Jet on the rear of the cleaner. If set at “11 o’clock”, move it to “1 o’clock” or vice-versa, to change the rotation or direction of most turns. For suction cleaners, adjusting the hose floats and hose weights can change the cleaner pattern.
