TROUBLESHOOTING
Because of the individual characteristics of your pool, some additional adjustments may be required to get the best performance
from your S5™ Suction Side Pool Cleaner. Use the following information to resolve possible issues.
PROBLEM
Cleaner is not moving or is moving
too slowly.
Cleaner's right wheel will not turn when
rotated by hand.
Cleaner stays in one end of the pool.
Cleaner climbs the wall too much or climbs
out of pool.
Cleaner won't climb the pool walls.
Cleaner stays on the main drain.
Cleaner falls on its side and takes too long to
recover.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check flow with flow gauge included or by calculating the cleaner RPM and adjust
the flow if necessary using the regulator valve.
Check for debris inside the cleaner itself.
Check to be sure the pump has primed. Check for leaks in the system that may
prevent proper priming.
There may not be enough flow through the system. The filter may need
backwashing.
Check to be sure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed, except for
the suction line to which the cleaner is attached.
Check for obstructions in the system (e.g. debris in the filter, pump basket or
pump impeller).
Pool pump and filter system may be too small to provide proper water flow.
Consult your pool professional.
Check for obstructions inside the cleaner itself.
Check flow with flow gauge included or by calculating the cleaner RPM and adjust
the flow if necessary using the regulator valve.
Check the return line water flow and redirect as necessary with the included
eyeball diverter.
Check that hose is long enough to reach the furthest point in the pool.
Check for proper hose float placement. The float may be in the wrong position.
Be sure that the swivel assembly (at top of cleaner) rotates smoothly. If not, the
swivel assembly may be dirty and require cleaning.
Check flow with flow gauge included or by calculating the cleaner RPM and adjust
the flow if necessary using the regulator valve.
Check to be sure that the cleaner tires are not excessively worn. Excessively worn
tires will not provide the grip necessary for your cleaner to climb pool walls.
Check flow with flow gauge included or by calculating the cleaner RPM and adjust
the flow if necessary using the regulator valve.
Check to be sure that the leader hose has been installed and is in the correct
location.
Check for proper hose float placement. The float may be in the wrong position.
Check to be sure that main drain is closed. May need assistance from a pool
professional.
Check to be sure a main drain grate is installed.
Check for proper hose float placement. The float may be in the wrong position.
Check to be sure that the leader hose has been installed and is in the correct
location.
Check that the hose is long enough to reach the furthest point in the pool.
The return eyeball fittings may be pushing the cleaner hoses away.
