The pool pressure is fine until we hook up the automatic pool cleaner and then the pressure drops dramatically. The cleaner still works but very slowly. Im sure the hose and cleaner have enough water in them as the cleaner rises to the surface and then sinks. As soon as we unhook the hose from the skimmer basket the pressure returns to normal. This is very frustrating. Please help.

Thanks

The hose does not have a swivel on either end, both ends are the same, could this be the problem? If so, do you know if I can buy a swivel end attachment? This is all new to me.

My last pool only had 1 tube out of the bottom of the skimmer. This one has that plus a cutoff valve to the side with a rear hose and one below. Not sure how to hook this up.

I have an issue. We just bought the house and it is a pretty big pool. I have a spa connected with a rock structure with 3 waterfalls and a spillover on the spa. I see a pool return line, spa return line, I have 2 skimmer lines, a cleanout line, and a line to make the water come out of the waterfall. My problem is that I cant get any decent suction out of my skimmer. I get some out of the closest one to the pool, but NONE out of the far east side of the pool. I have a seperate vacuum line between the 2 skimmer ports in the wall (with a flap) that has ZERO suction. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I have the pool return closed, the spa return to full open position, both skimmers closed or so I believe, and the cleanout line closed. Now I have opened the skimmers and still am getting what I described above. I have made sure the vacuum line is primed, all skimmers are cleaned out, and I’m frustrated. I just want the vacuum and skimmers to work. I have an mx800 vacuum head. Can you help me??? Thank you so much for your time….

Thank you and God bless!

Agreed! Great straightforward explanation– amazing how poor- even misleading- some of the others on the web can be!

I do have a pump that pumps 2000 gph from my pool through a filter and back into the pool. Am I supposed to hook my vacuum hose up to this pump?

I have vacuuming problems.

I have just installed a 1.1kw pool pump so therefore I know it is not the pump. After i have backwashed the filter and start vacumming the kreepy krawly works for about ten minutes and stops due to the pressure from the outflow pipe that seems to drop as well.( Hope you undersatnd what i’m trying to say)BUT when I change the filter to “BYPASS” the kreeply works very well, but obviously the dirt is going staight back into the pool. Do I have to change the sand in the filter and why does the pressure slow down when the kreeply is been used.? Please help as Im so tired of backwashing the pool to gbet the pressure back up in order for my kreepy tp work.
Thanks

Peter
