RPMs
The most common problem is that the cleaner is not getting enough suction, or is
getting too much suction, which causes improper wheel speed.
Common symptoms of
HIGH
RPMs would be:
• Cleaner is falling on its side (this can also be floats on leader hose missing).
• Cleaner is doing wheelies and tipping backward.
• Cleaner is slipping a little because it can’t pull the hose fast enough.
• Cleaner climbs out and sucks air constantly (this can also be worn tires).
• Cleaner is not covering pool.
Common symptoms of
LOW
RPMS would be:
• Cleaner is not covering pool.
• Cleaner gets stuck in corners or hangs up on objects in the pool.
• Cleaner is falling on its side (this can also be floats on leader hose missing).
• Cleaner starts and stops. The rpms are so low that the friction from the floor
stops the cleaner.
• Hoses coil (this can also be the swivel on the head is dirty).
