Sorry for such a delay in posting. Thank you for all your help. I ended up having a pool company come out, and they said we needed a new filter. He said sometimes it can look clean on the accordion filter areas on the outside, but there can still be buildup on the inside. So, we got a new...

haha! yeah, right! I think I'll start with the guage, and see what that tells us. One step at a time...lol Thanks for hanging with me today! :-D Now I have to get done what I didn't do earlier! Appreciate your help! I'll keep you posted on what's happening tomorrow afternoon. It's so...

ok...we just replaced the rubber feet(shoes) and the wings on the Navigator. Looks like it's working, but slow. Yes, the original paperwork on our pool said 100. Not sure if we've ever replaced it or just the cartridge. I couldn't read any of the labels on the actual filter casing. I know...

water is fine...looks great and is 82 degrees! I'll get a new guage then and see what that tells me, and go from there. But, if there isn't enough pressure to run everything at the same time, then what does that mean I'd have to do to make it all work at the same time??

Ok, thanks. The filter was just cleaned real good on Saturday, but wasn't even that dirty to begin with. How much is a new pressure guage?

Yeah, when they are all open, they should be getting suction, but when they are in that position it's not enough to suction to make anything run efficiently. (ie; skimmer doesn't pull anything through, cleaner doesn't move, and waterfall doesn't flow over. So, do you think there might be a...

When the pump shut off, the guage went down to 5psi.

The valves are currently in this position because it is the only way the pool cleaner will work. When I turn them part way so everything is open a little bit, nothing works.

Here are pics of the skimmer

We have a basket with a smaller inner basket inside it that does the bobbing when it is drawing the water into the skimmer.

Pump should kick off soon. I'll check the gauge in a few.

Here you go!

Ok...I did my homework and added my location and signature info. for you. Sorry I didn't have it done sooner. I'm sure it helps. Here are a couple pictures of the plumbing and where my valves are set right now. Currently, in this setting, the pool cleaner is moving, the water is spilling...

Thank you for the visual...I googled it...our skimmer at the pool does not have anything except one hole at the bottom of it. When it works, I see it bobbing up and down and water flowing into the basket. I am almost ready to post more info with pics. Stay tuned!

Thank you! Guess I jumped the gun on my question. Sorry about that. Let me get some info together for my signature, and a picture for you...may be a little while.

Sorry, Jason. Never heard that one before, but maybe that's because we do not have one. :)

What is the weir?? My pool cleaner was floating at times when it wasn't getting enough suction.

It is a suction cleaner...and it has floated up to the top at times. So what next?

Hello! I am so glad to have found this forum! I like troubleshooting, but I am stumped! I have a 20 year old inground pool with spa, using a Hayward cartridge filter, and a Navigator pool cleaner. Everything (pool skimmer, pool cleaner, waterfall, pump pressure is good) all seem to work...
