Wheels Up Why?

[arin]

Pressure side cleaner with only front wheel on the pool surface rear drive wheels slightly raised from the pool surface. Any ideas why this abrupt change occurred?

My guess is you have a bit of a suction side air leak pulling some air into your returns that then affects the buoyancy of the cleaner when the air is trapped in the body of the cleaner and the bag.

You see any bubbles, even small bubbles, coming out fo your returns?

No bubbles.

The Polaris manual (online) has a troubleshooting guide for issues such as this. First check wheel speed, then push the back float further in. There are other suggestions, too.

Check the rear thrust jet. It may have been bumped downward.
Also verify that the suction jets that blow up into the bag are not clogged. (That suction is what holds the cleaner to the floor).
