Questions and answers
My trac vac won't run unless I keep turning the pool pump off and on
The Hayward TracVac may only run when the pool pump is turned off and on due to a blockage or insufficient water flow. The turbine could be partially or fully blocked with debris, which affects movement. Also, incorrect pump speed, dirty pool filter, or improperly set valves can reduce flow, causing the cleaner to stall. Restarting the pump may temporarily restore flow, allowing short operation.
