Pool cleaners keep you away with the efforts that you need to put in as far as the maintenance of the pool is concerned. This is why you’d expect them to work efficiently. However, that isn’t the case always. This is because just like any other device, your pool cleaner might also face some issues that might turn out to be an obstacle when it comes to cleaning. One such issue you might face with your pool cleaner is that it might get stuck in the corner. But, this shouldn’t be an issue to be bothered about. We’ll help you get through this. Read on to find how you can deal with this and stay assured of a smooth uninterrupted cleaning experience.
- Firstly, ensure that the length of the hose is good enough for your pool cleaner to navigate and cover each part of the pool. If it is too short, the cleaner will not be able to move and will get stuck at one place.
- You need to pay attention to the water flow as well. It is quite possible that if the water flow is stronger, the cleaner can get stuck at one place and refrain from moving further. For this, you to need to regulate the water flow through the hose going to the cleaner. You can also make use of a flowkeeper valve for this purpose. It is one of the easiest and the most convenient ways to reduce the suction and prevent your pool cleaner from getting stuck.
- Ensure that the filter bag isn’t loaded with dirt and debris. Clean it off for better results.
- The traction (wheels, drive belt, etc.) should be paid attention as well. If they are worn out, consider replacing them.
- The pool’s main drain also has suction and so does your pool cleaner. When both these suctions combine, what results is a stuck pool cleaner. The best way to deal with this is to turn the main drain off while you’re putting your automatic pool cleaner into action. There’s an alternative available too just in case you’re not willing to turn off the main drain. There are controls available for your pump. You can choose to adjust the suction by experimenting with the controls. Keep experimenting with the controls and once you’ve found the correct setting that prevents your cleaner from getting stuck, leave it right there. These settings vary from pool to pool. Hence, you’ll have to spend some time learning about the controls and arriving at the right setting. Yes, this is time-consuming which is why people choose to turn off the main drain that eliminates all the hassle and fuss involved.
One of these methods should be able to solve your concern about the cleaner getting stuck at the corner. Despite trying all of the methods mentioned above, the issue still persists, then do not hesitate in contacting an expert.
