Low vacuum or slow,
faltering hammering sound:
• Check large debris isn't blocking
your VTX-3 or hose (see page 19).
• Check the Smart-Skim or
Auto Skim valve and vacuum
plate is sitting correctly in the
skimmer box. You may need
a different adapter.
• Backwash filter.
• If you have more than one
skimmer box, you'll need to block
off water flow from the box not
connected to the VTX-3.
• If the inlet from the main drain is
leaking, install an expanding plug.
• Your pool pump and filter system
may be too small to effectively
run your VTX-3. Ask your pool pro
to advise.
• Check for leaks or small holes in
the main body.
• Check flow valve for damage.

VTX-3 stays at one end of
the pool:
• Check that the hose is long enough
to reach the far corner of the pool.
If it isn't, add extra sections.
• Check that the hose isn't kinked or
coiled. If it is, follow these steps:
- The easiest method is to lay it
flat by the pool for a few hours on
a hot day (above 28ºC).
- If the weather is cooler, lay the
hose out straight and fill it with
warm (50-60ºC) not boiling
water. Roll the water backwards
and forwards until the hose
warms up and uncoils. Empty the
warm water and then pour cold
water through the hose – either
manually or by attaching one end
to the pump.
• Check that the pool outlets aren't
pushing the VTX-3 off course.
Adjust downwards if necessary or
use an eyeball diverter.
• Do you have enough pool weights
on the hose? Additional weights
may improve directional stability.
