The Pool Cleaner is indeed a completely different animal, pardon the pun. It is constant suction and it rolls across the bottom and sides of the pool. It's great. In the 6 months I've had it, it's only gotten stuck once. That Baracuda had to be constantly adjusted, pulled off the return...

No, I never did, the baracuda plastic started to break apart at the opening where the diaphragm goes. I trashed it, bought The Pool Cleaner, and haven't looked back.

Gotcha, Thanks for the quick response!

I've been working on lowering the TA of my pool as my ph climbs far too often due to built-in aeration. We have an integrated waterfall from the spa tub overflow spilling into the pool that cannot be shut off, or the spa receives no sanitation. I have tried balancing the spa drain with the...

Thanks for the response! Forgot to mention that I have borates in the pool at approx 50 ppm.

Hey all, We will be taking an 11 day vacation and I will not be able to maintain the pool or have someone stop by to adjust levels on chlorine or PH. I would like some advice on my intended plan: The pump is currently set for 13 hours per day operation, all the daylight hours. I plan to...

Thanks for the replies. I've lubed that o ring excessively to no avail, so I'll try a replacement. It is indeed the Hayward model. But why would air continue to go into the canister due to a faulty o ring when it's completely under water? If there is a suction side leak, it's got to be...

I have been googling in vain for an answer to this problem but cannot find a solution. I have a Zodiac G3 Baracuda pool cleaner. The cleaner itself works OK for my kidney bean shaped pool save for one issue major issue: When the Baracuda undulates to create suction, it also produces bubbles...

Well. Think I figured out what was happening. The baracuda was just pulling too hard as the suction was too powerful. The diaphragm I replaced about a month ago was working much better than the old one and the skimmer/main drain settings were compensating for the bad diaphragm. Too much...

I did not, but I have yet to check the filter baskets. I'm pretty positive it would have gone straight up the cleaner, if it didn't break up into tiny pieces.

The plaster is white, though it is older and stained various shades of yellowish green in a rather consistant manner across the entire pool. The cleaner has gone over the same areas multiple times and never turned spots that stark white. The spots that are stark white are gouged slightly lower...

Hey all, I am a new-to-pools homeowner that just purchased a home with existing pool, non-salt. My understanding from the PO of the home is the pool was built at the same time as the house in 1996. I have no info on when it was last serviced, resurfaced, nada. I have been working diligently...
