I've had a Polaris 280 for about 3 months. It has worked perfectly up until now.
When resting on the bottom of the pool (switched off) it lists forward so that only one tire is touching the pool bottom. Basically it is pointed straight downward, with the high point being the float in the rear. When turned on, the sweeper tail thrashes wildly in all directions, and the Polaris moves slowly and unsteadily. The bag does not inflate, and there does not appear to be any suction.
I have looked all around, but have not been able to find any troubleshooting steps other than what is provided in the manual (which is very basic not really informative at all).
Anyone have any ideas? Is there something else I can do to narrow down what the problem is?
The thing is still under warranty, but I don't want to deal with having to send it off for repair or whatnot.
Any help will be very much appreciated!
thanks
