I got that exact device. Stupid question alert.>>> It should be set to "slowest cleaner"?

That would make sense but the hoses are brand new and the third set of hoses that we have tried. We plug it into one of the two holes underneath the skimmer basket since we don't have a dedicated line for a pool cleaner. It's a Hayward W3PVS40JST Poolvergnuegen Suction Pool Cleaner for...

The second pump is for the waterfall feature that stopped working years ago and is not in service. Would also like to note that when the pool cleaner is plugged in the pressure on the pool filter valve drops to zero. I very much appreciate your time in advance!

Yes. We've purchased a new pool cleaner with new hoses and the O ring. We've checked for leaks on the pump lid and around each connection. It only occurs when the pool cleaner is plugged in. So I have to assume that the increase in suction is causing the change and for the cartridge filter to...

Hi folks, we have had a similar-sounding situation and wondered if a cause was ever found. Our pool filter will only fill with air when the pool cleaner is plugged into one of the openings under the skimmer basket. Also this started happening after the pool company serviced the cartridge filter...

UPDATE: The Hayward Pool Cleaner cracked apart so we replaced it with a brand-new unit. I am still experiencing the same issue of air-filling the cartridge filter.

We did try a robot but it got stuck behind our built-in table. I am afraid that is limiting our options. Does anyone have a preferred pool cleaner? We have a Poolvergnuegen Suction Pool Cleaner (four-wheel model) but the housing just cracked. Should we get another one or try a different...

The model is JCF425. I ran it on the in-floor last night and this morning the filter was full and spurting strong with both valves fully open. I just plugged the Hayward Pool Cleaner in and there is already some air in the filter. Where can the air be coming from? The pool cleaner is...

I so appreciate your help with this issue! It would be interesting if it were the filter since this has happened twice and each time after the filter maintenance was performed. But our pool person swears the filter is fine. It is a Jacuzzi cartridge filter.
