Hi all,
I have a Dolphin Z5 that's probably 2-3 years old. It recently seems to have lost some vacuuming power and is having trouble climbing the walls. Just to clarify - it has been able to climb the walls in the past, and I am not running in fast mode. I left the cleaner in the pool for an extended period this winter out of a mix of business and lazyness, and it seems to have happened since then. I don't know if that damaged something. I tried replacing the suction discs on the bottom of the unit and that helped a little bit with the vacuming, but it doesn't seem to be enough to get it up the wall. I also checked the impeller (propeller?) and it's clean.
My next thought was to look at replacing the motor, but I figured I'd hit the forum up first to see if anyone else had run into this.
Thanks in advance,
BC
