I've searched the forum and couldn't find any answers...
I have a standard vacuum head attached to my hose and telescoping pole. Recently, when I've vacuumed, I get too much suction and cannot move the head. I either have to break the seal at the skimmer or wrench the pole sideways to break the seal. I'm trying to entice my wife and son into vacuuming duty but they see me struggle and run for zee hills.
In the past, it would stick in certain parts of the pool--the transition between shallow and deep end, for instance--but now it will stick just about everywhere, even relatively smooth areas. What gives? The vacuum head is relatively old, could it be too pliable?
Help.
