The Pool Cleaner - No Longer Sucks Dust

[Fngman]

To date, the 4 wheel version of The Pool Cleaner has been great. Mine is 8 years old, I did a lower body rebuild a few months ago because it had some internal damage.

A couple of weeks ago we got hit with our first winds of the season, which left a nice layer of dust in the pool. The cleaner usually handles this without issue, for some reason it didn’t.

I cleaned the pool filter thinking it might be the issue, didn’t work. Suction seems good and it is moving as expected.

Any ideas on what might be the problem?

4 wheel version of The Pool Cleaner

Most probably this one:

The PoolCleaner 4 Wheel Suction Cleaner, White

The 4-Wheel Suction PoolCleaner™ uses your existing pump and filter for power. Simply plug it into your designated suction port or the skimmer.

Fontana, my old stomping grounds....
Unless the pool is deeper than 6 feet, the 2 wheel model may work better.

Added. Pool is 6 feet deep. Sucks up leaves without issue. I have never had an issue with dust/dirt until recently.
