Hi all. new to this forum. Came here due to 0 support from Hayward. I have an Auqanaut 400 that likes to lay on its side most of the day. I have tried to connect it to both the dedicated cleaner port and the skimmer port. Same issue. I have turned off all other suction so that the RPM is around 15, same issue. I have heard something about adjusting weights but for the life of me I don't think this thing has weights. Anyone have this same unit that was able to fix this issue? Glenn

Thank you for sending this. My best guess is it's the "floats". I never saw a float in the box. Should they of come with it? How many do I need?

Hi all. So Hayward sent me the floats. Night & day difference. Can't believe it didn't come with them like it was supposed to. Now I have another issue. It cleans the bottom just fine, but everything I read says it should go up the walls. It's not. Won't go up the walls or my stairs and/or my sun shelf. Should I be OK with this? Any tricks to get it to go up the walls/stairs/sun shelf? The speed is within the 11-14 RPM.

The cleaner won't clean the stairs or sun shelf. Just use your pool brush on those.
Also, manually brush the pool walls.
Climbing the walls is hit or miss. The 4-wheel model isn't very good at climbing the walls. You can try increasing the suction (but the cleaner will move faster - maybe too fast) or change out the suction inlet for a different sized one.
What RPM are you running the pump at when using the cleaner?
