Hi, I recently purchased a Zodiac Ranger suction cleaner for my AGP. I'm having a problem where, once it makes a couple trips around the pool, the hose coils up and effectively shortens the travel of the cleaner. As a result, the far end of the pool rarely gets cleaned. I'm facing the jet down...

Ha, there's actually a 4" divot in the floor of my pool right under the inlet. I bet this is where this came from. I never knew! I think my window of opportunity for plugging things up this year has passed, but maybe I'll do that next year. I have a plug for the inlet and one of those winter...
