NOTE:
In larger pools, the buoyancy of the hose can make
the cleaner hug the walls too much. In this case, move the
weight closer to the joint of the third and fourth sections,
then observe the pattern of operation. If the cleaner is still
not getting to the deep regions of the pool, you should pur-
chase another weight (Part No. 41201-0238) and attach it
to the fourth section of hose. Then observe the pattern
again and adjust the location of the weights as necessary.
• Are the hose sections straight? If the sections have
been coiled during storage, this will impair the
cleaner’s operation. Try to straighten the sections by
laying the lengths of connected hose out in the
warm sun. Never use the hand vacuum hose or an-
other manufacturer’s hose – use only genuine
Calypso hose.
• Are the hose and/or cleaner being affected by return
flow? Adjust the pool return jets to avoid unwanted
flow against the hose or cleaner. Of course, the flow
may also be directed in a particular direction if it
will help to position the hose or improve the travel
pattern of the cleaner.
• Try adding or subtracting a section of hose. This will
change the behavior of the cleaner and may be nec-
essary to break a repetitive pattern of travel.
• Is there too much or too little suction? Refer to the
suggestions under (1) above.
5. If the Calypso is being trapped in a corner or near the
steps:
• Make sure that the bumper and roller are properly
attached.
• Adjust the return jet closest to the trap so that the
flow of water from it will help to move the hose or
the cleaner itself. This adjustment is best done a lit-
tle at a time.
• Add or subtract a section of hose. This will help the
cleaner avoid the trap or free itself if it gets trapped.
• Change the position of the hose weight to help
swing the cleaner out of the trap.
• Adjust the suction through the cleaner; try lower
and higher levels.
6. If the cleaner falls on its side:
• Check that the connecting tube swivels freely. If not,
flush the area around the swivel connection. If nec-
essary, replace the connecting tube (Part No. 41101-
0126).
• Check that the float is attached, is not damaged, and
is not filled with water (Part No. 41101-0128).
7. Hopper bottomed and square bottomed pools:
• Due to the shape of the floor of these pools, the
cleaner may have a tendency to hug the perimeter
of the pool.
• To reduce adhesion to the floor, operate the cleaner
on a lower suction. This will make it easier for the
cleaner to move away from the perimeter.
