TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION
• SPLASHER Has the filter been backwashed recently? Ensure that your pool's filtration
does not move system is operating in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
provides sufficient suction.
• SPLASHER
moves very slowly Check all baskets for debris (pump and weir baskets).
Check that the diaphragm is clear of all debris.
Check the SPLASHER diaphragm for wear and tear, and if worn, replace
the diaphragm.
Ensure there are no leaks in the hoses by lifting hoses out of water. Air
bubbles noticeable at the return line also indicate a suction leak.
Check the outer tube / outer extension pipe for excessive clearance +- 2mm.
Excessive clearance will cause the SPLASHER to have running/stopping
problems.
Is the sand in the filter older than +- 3 years? Filter cartridge may need to be
changed or cleaned. To check this put the filter on 'bypass'. If the SPLASHER
works while filter is on bypass consider changing the sand.
Is the vacuum lid sitting flush in the weir? Replace vacuum lid if damaged.
• Suction Check that there is sufficient suction In your pool's filtration system and that it
is operating in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If necessary,
backwash the filter to improve the water flow and increase the suction.
If there is strong suction, ensure that your flow control valve is functioning
correctly. The flow control valve should be adjusted if necessary so that there
is strong water flow through the flow control valve, and reduce bypass flow.
Ensure there are no leaks in the hoses, and that they are connected properly.
• SPLASHER Refer to the solutions listed for 'SPLASHER does not move'.
moves a short
distance then stops Outer tube or outer extension pipe extension pipe might be worn out.
Pump suction may be too strong and cause unit to stick to the floor. To rectify
this adjust the flow through the SPLASHER by adjusting the flow control
valve so that the gate opens more easily to bypass water. Normal setting is
between 2 and 4.
• SPLASHER Check if the float is filled with water.
falls on its side
Check that the outer extension pipe can rotate freely.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
• SPLASHER Adjust the hose length by either adding or removing a hose.
gets stuck in a
particular place Ensure that the aimflow nozzle is not interfering with the movement of the
SPLASHER. If so, adjust the aimflow nozzle to direct the flow away from the
unit.
If the problem persists, attach The Easy-Out Jogger on the first hose and
insert an aimflow diverter ball in the aimflow nozzle.
NOTE: The Easy-Out Jogger helps to get your SPLASHER out of difficult
corners. It can be fitted between the 2nd and 3rd hose length, small side
facing the weir and the bigger side facing the cleaner. The Easy-out Jogger
cone will float on top of the water.
• SPLASHER Ensure there is no air trapped in the hoses or unit.
does not sink
Ensure that the SPLASHER has Its weight in the unit.
• SPLASHER Ensure that the baskets and cleaner are free of debris so that there is
does not climb wall maximum water flow and backwash the filter.
Ensure adequate suction. Adjust the flow control valve settings to a higher
setting. This increases the suction flow through the pool pump.
Sand or filter cartridge may need to be changed or backwashed.
Is the Disc curling at the edges? The Disc needs replacing.
Is the pool radius sufficient for the SPLASHER to climb the walls? The
recommended radius is at least 300mm.
Check the float chamber for buoyancy, no water should be present in the
chamber.
Is the outer tube or outer extension pipe excessively worn (in excess of 2mm
play)? Replace if necessary.
• SPLASHER Ensure that the flow control valve is working and free of debris.
climbs out of the
water Lower the setting on the flow control valve to reduce water flow through the
flow control valve and increase the bypass flow.
• SPLASHER Ensure that pool light is not protruding from the pool wall surface (i.e. is flush
is sticking on pool with pool wall surface). If necessary, remove lens of pool light and reinstall
light correctly. Alternatively, utilise an Easy-Out Jogger Cone.
