Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. With limited information it's hard for me to answer this question. Are you referring to the Aquabot Classic or the Aquabot Turbo T Jet. If you want to reach me I can be found at sferry@aquaproducts.com

You can also remove some of the floatation squares from inside of the machine and see if it works, however, then it will not do the sides at all - it's a catch 22.

Are you sure you are talking about the same Aquabot? I may have a newer version. My transformer has digital buttons on the front that allow you to set the duration from 2 , 4 ,6 , 8 or even continuous hours, and you can set the travel time in each direction, from 20 to 90 second intervals.I would check the Aquabot web-site, and contact tech support.

If you have this machine, the transformer, lets you program the amount of time per drive cycle. if U have a small pool and the timer is set for 90 seconds, it will spend more time on the wall. My pool is 20 x 40 unground, and for that pool size, I have it set on a 60 second cycle, which works fine. you can lower it tom 45 or 30 seconds each way.

Clean filter might be dirty. Check for leaks in the tube extensions, regulate suction between bottom drain, skimmer and creepy crawler. Make sure there is suction in the line, if none or little it won't move.

My pool float has been outstanding with battery life, however the inside unit needs changed pretty often. I would change the inside unit batteries and then move the two units close together until they sync. This may help.

This version of the Aquabot, 1.0, doesn't dive or change directions (as far as I can tell). For that you need the updated Aquabot 2.0.

I think you need to put on auto and set it to 50%,that is how I run mine and it will cut off when it reaches that level and then cut back on. Check water level also.

change the direction of the arms and then run water thru it...make sure they are turning in the correct direction in order for it to move forward...I've done the same..... also make sure that the stop underneath it is not triggered/stuck

I had the same problem, probably water going from top tank to the bottom one is not fast enough to fill water above the sensor. I was changing level a little bit (adding something very small under the Luma and found the best angle (very small change) and now is working without problems more than 1 year

I had a horizontal year near the base of the pool. There was no place for me to apply pressure as there was nothing to resist that pressure. I applied a patch to the outside and inside, allowing each to dry in between. I wasn't able to press out very many of the air bubbles. The pool held water just fine. It's still holding 8 months later.

I have the same thing. I sort of tilt it until it feeds water to the bottom

It did this at first when it was memorizing my pool dimensions. It would seem to get stuck and I would push it into the water. Now it does sometimes get to the surface and run along the top for awhile, but it eventually drops back under the water and keeps cleaning. I have had mine for 4 months and still works great!

The skimmer moves up and down freely, but could be improved a bit by blocking the air suction at the top of the intake. I work around the problem by keeping my tank topped off with water every two weeks.

I had this problem as well, make sure the water tank is placed correctly. My tank wasn't pushed all the way down. I hope this solves your issue as well.

I had the problem at first too. I discovered when you fill it to the line, it doesn't work. So, I go a little below the line and it works fine. Try that!

Start with a lower water level and see if that helps. The only times mine has not stayed on for several hours is when the water level was too high.

Check your weight placements. Your hose is either too light and floating up and flipping over or too heavy and sinking and rolling over. My pool is 6 feet at the deepest part and I fixed this issue by actually removing the weight in the front. I still have one in the middle. To keep the unit lower and off the wall I re added the weight to the very end of the hose where the hose plugs in to the cleaner. This solved my issue of flipping over. I think if your pool is not very deep you do not need so much weight on your hose. 1. Hose too light. If the hose rises toward the surface at an angle greater than 45 , move the weights closer to Kreepy Krauly, or move the first two weights closer to each other. 2. Hose too heavy. If the hose sags downward at an angle less than 45, move the weights away from Kreepy Krauly, or separate the first two weights farther from each other.

Mine is above ground. I thought about building a deck around it but the drain on this pool is toward the bottom so putting it in ground or building a deck around would require a hose attached and fed out somewhere for better drainage so that you can clean it. Even at that, I normally dump out about an inch of water that doesn't drain and being in ground would make that difficult. I love the pool and someday I may figure something out but I like to clean mine regularly and so far I have not found a way to incase it in anything that would still allow me to clean it well.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.
