VI. Troubleshooting
Because of the individual characteristics of your pool, some additional adjustments may be required
to get the best performance from your E-Z Vac. If there seems to be a problem, check these
common causes of cleaner problems. If you still need help, call your Pentair Pool Products Dealer
or call our Customer Helpline at 800-443-5711.
_ Is filter clean?
_ Is pump strainer basket clean?
_ Is debris blocking the bottom of E-Z Vac?
_ Are there any leaks in the hose?
_ Is automatic regulator valve free of debris?
NOTE: When E-Z Vac is operating, we recommend that you remove your
pool's ladder.
Otherwise, the ladder can "trap" E-Z Vac and prevent it from moving about the pool.
If E-Z Vac is not moving or pulsating
• Check to ensure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed, except for the suction
•
line to which E-Z Vac is attached.
• Check for debris in the filter or pump basket.
• Check for debris in E-Z Vac's flapper. Debris may prevent flapper movement or restrict flow.
See page 11 for instructions.
• Pool pump and filter system may be too small (incapable of providing 14 gallons per minute
•
water flow). Consult your pool professional.
If E-Z Vac tracks in a repetitive pattern
• Check the swivel on the top of E-Z Vac. It should turn freely.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter.
•
Refer to page 9, "Eyeball Diverter Positions."
• Check E-Z Vac's hose to ensure it has not become bent or kinked. It only takes one bent or
•
kinked hose section to hinder the cleaning coverage. One way to check for kinks in your
•
hose is to lay each section flat on your pool's deck (or other flat surface). The hose should be
•
perfectly straight and flat. Do not coil the hose when taking your E-Z Vac out of the pool
because it will retain the coil shape, forming a bend or kink.
