Per my other thread, we just had our liner replaced which also meant new faceplates and fittings including a new main drain of a different design to the old one. Apparently they now need to be "anti vortex". Anyway, we have a Zodiac Barracuda Super G "robot" vacuum cleaner (plugs into the skimmer line) which previously worked absolutely fine.
Since the new liner (and more pertinently the new main drain), it gets stuck on the drain cover. And I mean physically stuck - it's not suction from the main drain (that line is shut off when using the "robot", and the thing remains stuck fast with the pump shut off).
It turns out that the "tendrils" (for want of a better word!) of the robot are getting stuck - wedged - in the 'slots' of the drain cover. Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there a solution (other than I guess manual vacuuming only from here on in!)
