I have a Polaris Kreepy Krauley. Love it..works fine...been using it for 6 years. My question is this: The connection is under water, so why does it sound like the pump is running dry when it comes on and the hose is not attached. I have jumped out of my chair one time too many when this has happened...and don’t understand.
Question about pressure side pool cleaners

One way - If it is near enough the surface and pulls hard enough, it can create a vortex which would allow air to enter the system. Similar to the 'tornado' you get draining the bathtub sometimes.
I don’t think it’s doing that. the second the auxiliary pump comes on, if I don’t have it attached it sounds horrible...and it’s on the return side, not the suction side.
Mine does the same thing. I assume it is something to do with not enough backpressure to allow the booster pump to prime.
Oops, sorry. Clearly I read pressure side, but was thinking suction side the whole time.
