i have tried to use this cleaner but there is not suction power. Where do I have to connect it?

I have to ask, what are you doing with it currently where it doesn't have suction power? what do you have hooked up to it?

The manual says that you have to attach a "bare floor attachment (available at additional cost it not included with your model)" I do not believe the model I bought included this but I am going to double check. The manual shows instructions on how to attach it. If I am correct and do not have that attachment, I will be tempted to purchase it. The cleaner has so much suction that it would be worth it to use on bare floors. I currently use a "Flip-It" on the kitchen floor and while it is adequate, I would imagine this machine has a lot more power and could do the job quicker. Guess I'll just have to try it.

Theresa, I'm going to assume that you mean that there is too little suction to operate the unit? A testing device comes with the cleaner. You insert it into the end of your hose (where the cleaner would connect) and it measures the amount of suction available to run the vacuum. Mine runs (slowly) and the gauge shows that there is barely enough vacuum to operate it. Although it does run slowly, it does cover the whole pool and keeps it spotless.If you have even less vacuum available probably none of the vacuum-side cleaners will work very well. There has to be water movement inside of the cleaner to move the internal components and that requires a minimum of vacuum. You may have a leakage problem?

You need a higher powered vacuum for that. This stick is for small cleanups and is not high powered. I would not advise this vacuum for your problem.

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.

Maybe, i sent my back because it had no suction, and you had to pull a trigger to squirt out the cleaner. I got the bigger one that you could use on furniture and carpet. Not the lg ones.

You can't connect it directly. The buoyancy of the black, round float inside a tank causes the switch to trigger and the suction to occur. Our washing machine is in our basement. The main drainage line is closer to the ceiling, rather than the floor. We put the washing machine drain pipe into a tank, and put this submersible in the tank. The pump pushes the water up to a 4 inch drainage pipe that leads to the main out of the house. You will need to purchase additional piping for the drainage as well. Each situation is different for that.

There is no actual filter cleaning tool. They may be referring to the built in filter cleaning wheel.(located in the center) If turned it just knocks some of the dust out of the paper filter to increase suction before cleaning. They suggest tapping the two filters together over the trash. I find using a larger vac or air compressor work best.

We have a suction style cleaner. It says to attach within some many feet away from the port in the wall of the pool. As the water is pulled through it turns a gear to Un twist the hose. It should work both ways.

I had the same thing happen. I ended up plugging it in to a different outlet and then it worked just fine, but I did have to set the vacuuming schedule back up. Originally I thought it was the outlet, but had it checked out and it was working fine. Italy be worth a try for you.

You have to connect one of the hoses to the plug on the left with the filter, chose the appropriate size instrument for the area you are treating, set the power to the setting recommended on the instruction sheet. The suction happens when you place the instrument against your skin. I hope this answered your question

Yes, it's a tight sqeeze to connect, the hose is cheap thou, if it stays twisted or if something is on it during storage, and flattens the hose a little it wont bounce back, which it can interfere with suction power, but is the only replacement I was able to find, with a little vac that works, like forever. My other hose had duck tape all over it, trying to keep it together, it worked for a while, until it was a flat hose :( and it was done. Good luck.

Sorry Nancy. I haven't gotten to the stage where I need to clean it. Let me know if you find a way.

I am not sure what vacuum model you have but it could be one of several issues. The wand pushes into the lower body of the vacuum and at that point it opens or closes a valve to allow you to use the sweeper or the wand, If the wand has no suction it is generally caused by sticky valve or something is lodged in the valve assembly creating the problem. I would also check the hose and make sure nothing is lodged where the hose enters the lower part of the vacuum. The hose on most models unscrews with a 1/2 turn. If you cannot get suction you may need to take it in for service.

There is a video on youtube that show you how to connect to that pump. the vacum bring a couple of adapters so I said yes.

Sorry... 'don't know why your unit lost suction cause mine still works fine. Per all the other previous feedback left about this product concerning suction issues, perhaps it has to do with the little rubber band on the hand unit. I would check that first. Good luck!
