Just got The Pool Cleaner (2 wheel, suction side) based on the recommendations here. Hooked everything up and put it in (direct hose connect to dedicated vacuum port. Supposed to be between 11-14 RPM, and was nowhere close (about 6 as I started). I have a dedicated vacuum line which I fully opened (opened the diverter valve -- if that's the correct term with the equipment -- first time I've ever used the vacuum line), with the skimmer opened as well.
I checked the RPMs on the pump -- was at 2550. If I increased pump to 3200 and closed off the skimmer valve, the Pool Cleaner RPM did go up probably to about 9, but this seems extreme, and that maybe I have an issue somewhere. Haven't gotten rid of my pool service company yet -- they come on Friday, so I will have them look...
At new to all this, so any advice is appreciated. I've updated by Sig with the pool size / equipment.
