Troubleshooting

VTX-7 pulsates rapidly
but doesn't move, or travels
very slowly:
• Check that the sole is fitted correctly.
• If the sole tread is worn away,
replace it with a new sole.
• Check that the combined
vacuum plate and Auto Skim
or Smart-Skim valves are fitted
correctly (see page 7).
• Check the markings on the silicon
seal to make sure it hasn't been
installed upside down.
• Check the Smart-Skim or
Auto Skim valve isn't jammed.
If it is, remove the valve from the
vacuum plate, submerge the valve
in water – opening and closing
until it moves freely.
• Check Smart-Skim spring is
correctly attached.
• Check for a blockage in the main
body of your VTX-7 (see page 19).

VTX-7 travels too slowly,
or doesn't pulsate:
• If the filter is blocked, backwash
or clean it thoroughly.
• If the flow valve at the bottom of
your VTX-7 is blocked, clean out
the valve (see page 19).
• If the pump or skimmer box
strainer basket is full or blocked,
clean them out.
• If the main drain valve is open,
shut it off, or fit an optional
expanding plug.
• Check for damage to the main body.
Low vacuum or slow,
faltering hammering sound:
• Check large debris isn't blocking
your VTX-7 or hose (see page 19).
• Check the combined Auto Skim
valve or Smart-Skim valve and
vacuum plate is sitting correctly in
the skimmer box. You may need a
different size plate.
• Backwash filter.
