PROBLEM
SOLUTION
SPLASHER
does not move
OR
moves very slowly
• Has the filter been backwashed recently? Ensure that your pool’s filtration
system is operating in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
and provides sufficient suction.
• Check all baskets for debris (pump and weir baskets).
• Check that the diaphragm is clear of all debris.
• Check the SPLASHER diaphragm for wear and tear, and if worn, replace
the diaphragm.
• Ensure there are no leaks in the hoses by lifting hoses out of water. Air
bubbles noticeable at the return line also indicate a suction leak.
• Check the outer tube / outer extension pipe for excessive cle/-
3/4”. Excessive clearance will cause the SPLASHER to have running/
stopping problems.
• Is the sand in the filter older than +/- 3 years? Filter cartridge may need
to be changed or cleaned. To check this put the filter on ‘bypass’. If the
SPLASHER works while filter is on bypass consider changing the sand.
• Is the vacuum lid sitting flush in the weir? Replace vacuum lid if damaged.
Suction
• Check that there is sufficient suction In your pool’s filtration system and
that it is operating in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If
necessary, backwash the filter to improve the water flow and increase the
suction.
• If there is strong suction, ensure that your flow control valve is functioning
correctly. The flow control valve should be adjusted if necessary so that
there is strong water flow through the flow control valve, and reduce
bypass flow.
• Ensure there are no leaks in the hoses, and that they are connected
properly.
SPLASHER moves a
short distance then
stops.
• Refer to the solutions listed for SPLASHER does not move’.
• Outer tube or outer extension pipe extension pipe might be worn out.
• Pump suction may be too strong and cause unit to stick to the floor. To
rectify this adjust the flow through the SPLASHER by adjusting the flow
control valve so that the gate opens more easily to bypass water. Normal
setting is between 2 and 4.
SPLASHER falls on
its side
• Check if the float is filled with water.
• Check that the outer extension pipe can rotate freely.
