S200/Warrior "vent" clogging with leaves

[Technikal]

Hi,

I have a Pentair Warrior SE. Recently, the blue "vent" on the top front of the device clogs with leaves. When this happens, it loses suction and loses the ability to climb the walls.

The pool is not full of leaves or anything horrible. I can clean everything out of the warrior and the vent will start to fill again in a few minutes. Problem exists with both the fall and pleated filters. No holes or cracks or anything I can see wrong with the basket or filter.

Any ideas on what may be causing this? I haven't had this issue in the past so something seems to have changed.

Check the flap in the underside of the cleaner. It is there to allow water to release when you take the cleaner out of the pool. It should seal when the cleaner is operating. Your symptoms appear when that flap is missing or damaged.

The rubber flap behind the rotating brush? That had popped off earlier and I reattached it. Looks like maybe I should replace it with a new one. Thanks for the direction!
