Also check all your hose connections - one of them is probably leaking. Go segment by segment and twist them as the pump is running and you’ll hear the sucking when you find it.

The Pool Cleaner. Got one 6 years ago. Replaced the tires once 2 years ago.

Sounds like you need to upgrade to a bigger filter. If debris leaves etc are a big problem just install a leaf canister. I have one just because of the occasional large leaf and I'd rather not risk it clogging the suction pipe.

I have a two wheel TPC for a pool almost the same size: 16X32X6 at the deepest, 3.5 at each end. Similar use as you describe. No problems with it at all.

There are spring loaded covers for the suction port that close if the hose is taken off or comes off. Like this one: http://www.poolpartsonline.com/p-45200-vac-port-fitting-part-number-gw9530-opt-3290-62.aspx

Sorry I'm not familiar with that cleaner. But someone should be along who is.

Re: Poolvergnuegen: will hoses from a Hayward Navigator work You're welcome. FYI if you have avariable speed pump its super easy to tune for the correct speed of the cleaner

Sorry, can you give us some more information please? Make and models of the hoses and basket (I assuem you mean an inline leaf basket?)

Re: Poolvergnuegen: will hoses from a Hayward Navigator work Yes the hoses are an exact fit. According to the ThePoolCleaner cust service rep I discussed this with, their hoses are a bit more flexible but essential the same. She recommended keeping the first three of four hoses as their...

The Op does not have a pressure or suction port so no booster pump either.

Look into the pool skim too - it saved my problem (prevailing wind goes opposite of my skimmer location).

I just reread your first post. It has to be the hose since it happens via the skimmer too

You were sucking air from somewhere. It's possible your pump basket cover wasn't tight of the o-ring is old? Have you cleaned it and lubed it? Sometimes leaks only show up under high suction.

Check your hoses - you probanly have a leak in one of them or in the connections between the sections. Take the hose and make sure it's completely submerged and see if the problem still happens. Then start allowing sections to float to the surface and watch for when it happens and also see if...

Is it worth the price for only twice per month? I find it therapeutic when I manually vac but that just me.

So you need to be a bit more self-reliant than some of us

The Hayward Navigator is (IMHO) designed to require frequent parts replacement. It's why I switched to ThePoolCLeaner which you can buy online if there isn't a store selling it locally (where are you located?). I cna't speak to any other cleaners as these are the only two I've worked with...

You could also use the hayward type hose between the leaf catcher and the suction port - you only need one length and then you don't have to mess with the second adaptor. I'm assuming you don't need to use the inlin regulator valve since you can dial in speed with the pump.

ThePoolCleaner

Susa's suggestion is a good one - if you're running suction from the main drain while the cleaner is running it makes sense that it would get pulled to that area. In all honesty wear that thing out and replace it with a poolverneugen the pool cleaner. Made in America out of parts not designed...

Did you contact the place you bought them from? You should start there. If they don't help try calling the Poolvurneugen and discussing what you have; they may exchange for you or help guide you to the correct ones.

You'll need to add some automation but it's totally doable with a dual speed pump; and super fine tunable with a variable speed pump. I run my VS pump for 3 hours each morning at 1350 RPM and the suction valve turned to only the cleaner port (i.e. no skimmer) - at this speed my cleaner runs at...

Take a look at this review of the DragonFly: http://www.troublefreepool.com/the-dragonfly-skimmer-t19322.html?hilit=Poolskim

Let's see if we can find this thread in a couple of years :)

Did you ever hear back from them?

Nice! Hopefully it doesn't crawl out in two weeks! Let us know what happens!

I leave mine in the pool unless we are swimming. It runs for three hours a day. Only had it a few months so too soon to know what my tread life will be like.

Are they sending you the solid tires? They've helped other with very steep deep-end transitions where the cleaner had trouble climbing out; I forgot to mention those to you, sorry. I'm guessing on the pebble tech, but if it's "coarse" enough then I could see it not having the ability to pull...

I just noticed that you have a pebbletech finish - the cleaner crawls the sides by holding itself to the side with enough suction that the tires will have traction. You may need to go higher than 12rpm if you really want it to climb the walls.

You need to adjust it so that the wheels turn at about 11rpm. I actually run mine down around 9 or it surfaces.
