I have the Poolcleaner for about 4 years. It has worked great until recently. It is moving in the deep end and does not climb up the wall or climb to the shadow part of the pool any longer. One left wheel fell. Is 4 year about the end of its life?

Dave, your theory appears to correlate my pool problem. I was not able to squish a ball down the skimmer tube as it floated right up. However, I was able to use a saran wrap and a couple of bubberbands to tie up the opening. After running the vaccum for 3 days (about 7-9 hours) and doing the...

I was going to test the vaccum this morning but when I turn on the pump, either the skimmer nor the vaccum works. There is no suction at all. What do I need to do?

Dave, Thanks for your directions. I will give it a try? What is the best way to plug the hole to the skimmer? Any suggestions?

I attached the equipment picture and a picture of the pool. Hope this will help. please let me know if I need to take more pictures. Thank you very much.

I am not sure if I understand the pressure side vs. suction side vaccum. I am running the bucket test while I run the filter. My control is skimmer vs. Vaccum. When I switched to vaccum, the water loss is about 1/5 of an inch more in the pool vs. the bucket after a 4 hour run. I am not sure...

We drilled a small hole in the waste pipe and the water did not get drained there. Now, I run the filter and water tends to stay in the pool. When I run the vaccum and this is when the water level is going down. The pipes are under concrete. My question is "Is there a good way to identify...

I replaced the spider gasket but the water is still draining into the waste pipe when it is in the filter mode. What should I do next?

When I run the sand filter, the water does run out to the waste pipe. I ordered a spider gasket Waterco #621460 (5 spoke) but it does not seem to fit. The middle of my old spider ring seems to be bigger and the spider extensions are thicker. However, this number should fit the model of...

Thank you very much for clarifying. I do have the handle that rotates. I will fill up the water and see if the water run out of the waste pipe. Thank you very much. For the gauge, what are considered better?

There are three pipies connected to the sand filter, one for inflow, one returns water to pool, one waste pipe. I cannot see the water flows inside but can fill water and listen. If I have a bad gasket/seal, do I call pool company to replace? Can I order and replace it? As far as the...

The bucket test did not show that my pool or spa is leaking. I think it is either from the pipe or from the sand filter. The pipes are under the concrete so I can not see any obvious problem. I have my pump off for 5-6 days and the water loss was only from evaporation. What should I do next?

I have a concrete pool, sand filter, and a poolkeeper water leveler. Last month, my water bill was skyrocketed. I was using almost 700 gallons of water daily. There is no leakage in the pipe from the meter to my house and no leakage in the house. I am suspecting the leakage in the pool or...
