Cleaner head "floats"
18
CAUSES
Lack of/improper water
flow through cleaner
Blockage of the cleaner
throat
Worn shoes
Worn wings
Improper cleaner model
for application
Air trapped in the head
The cleaner head is actually
being pulled or lifted off the
bottom of the pool by the,
or return line flow –either at
the surface or at the bottom
of the pool –or both.
SOLUTION
Check water flow with flow
gauge and adjust as per
Step 5.
Clear blockage
Replace shoes
Replace wings
See your pool dealer or
servicer.
Remove all air from cleaner
head. Stop all air from
entering the pool through
the return lines. If cleaner
head and hose are covered
with fine bubbles, give the
hose a good tug. This will
release the air bubbles and
allow the cleaner head to
settle to the bottom of
the pool until the hose is
covered with bubbles again.
Readjust return outlets
to prevent water flow
interfering with cleaner
head and/or hose.
