I know the description is kind of vague, but my pool and cleaner and all equipment is about 6 years old. I keep all skimmers traps clean, clean/replace DE filter 2-3 times a year and just generally try and keep everything clean and working. At the beginning, the pool cleaner worked great climbing walls and never getting stuck in corners etc. About 2 years ago, I rotated the wheels and that seem to make a difference for a while. But now it constantly get stuck in the shallow end or even just against a wall. I do run it every day for about an hour regardless of the time of year (Dallas TX). I have ordered a new set of wheels, but I feel like it just isn't getting enough pressure in the unit like it used to. For instance, the tail used to just whip around, and even replacing that only seems to have mildly improved it. I have checked and rechecked the filter in the pool wall where the hose connects and it is always clean. I have tried to adjust the cleaner's rear nozzles. It's just not really cleaning well at all - I don't know if there is some adjustment I can make on the cleaner or not.
The cleaner pump is a single speed unit and I don't see an easy way of checking the impellar there as all of the pvc seems to be glued in - but then again, I know very little about the pumps.
I have attached basic picks of my equipment, the cleaner pump is the black pump in the back. The cleaner is a Kreepy Krawley LL505PMG.
Do I need to call someone to come take a look or is there something I can check further? Any suggestions are appreciated.
