If you experience a problem with your Kontiki, please review the installation section and insure all steps have been followed
correctly.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

1. Machine does not move, or moves sluggishly. 

Insure ideal flow is being attained using Pool Pulse. 
Note: In water 60˚ F or less, it may be necessary to increase flow to
compensate for the reduced flexibility of the hose and diaphragm.

Check diaphragm for damage or wear (see Care and Maintenance).

Backwash filter and empty pump basket.

Check for air in system. If water level in pump basket drops, check
hose connections, tighten all fittings at pump, check gasket in pump
basket for wear.

2. Machine does not cover entire pool.

Insure ideal flow is being attained using Pool Pulse.

Point return jets as far down as possible.

Make sure hose does not have memory from being coiled 
(see Care and Maintenance).

Confirm proper hose length

3. Machine sticks on ladder.

Insure ideal flow is being attained using Pool Pulse.

Remove ladder if possible

Install large wheel deflector.

4. Machine sticks in steps.

Insure correct amount of hose is being used (see Assembly). 
Shorten if necessary.

Insure the Flowkeeper is on the number 1 setting.

Install large wheel deflector.

5. Machine stays on walls or edge of pool.

Insure the Flowkeeper is on the number 1 setting.
