How do you get cleaner to stop at waterline? I installed restrictor plate and washer but it still tries to climb out.

The answer is you don't or can't. The only way is to watch and control yourself. I use the long pole with brush to guide the shark around the pool. Get's the job done faster and doesn't waste time stuck or climbing walls. My next one will have a remote control.

I have a fiberglass pool with concrete coping. The front roller will come to the coping and levitate there for a few seconds. It will then quit propelling and settle to the bottom. I also have a safety ledge half way in deep end, and has no problem. Excellent product.

Try open and closing the water door you may have to do a few times. when new or you youse a lot of water at once.

Could be your outlet flow...pushing it to one side..could be that the hose is very brittle and does not expand nor maneuver around the pool very well...might need more hose...I add and take out hose, bi weekly it makes the vacuum clean in different patterns....

Tighten a little more and make sure the crush washer is crushed or remove and try again but when comes off remember where the logo is and add a 1/4 turn before starting over

Carefully use a paper clip or similar instrument to pull the tiny little washer out. And ONLY the tiny little washer. It might take a little while, just be patient.

Just put the washer in the top lid. Just push it with your finger and it will stay in place once you close the lid.

Yes, unfortunately! We don't need our cleaner to go up the sides and prefer that it stay on the bottom, so this has been a contention with me, where most people would probably love it. This very old antique, but WONDERFUL cleaner, STILL climbs the sides all the way up and along the waterline, even as old and worn out as it is! In my opinion, it's the best cleaner on the market.

The washer uses very little water as a result the dirt and dog hair don't fully rinse out. That cycle is suppose to help flush it out however it didn't work so after owning it for 2 weeks during witch we had the service technician come out and he flat out said to return it because it was a Bad model so we did a ended up buying a set of speed queens witch work 100 times better. .good luck..........

I've had the very same problem. After three months it has become so congested that the motor labors hard and then the unit stops working altogether. I've twice tried flushing it out with water through the top and bottom. A lot of black debris comes out, but it still doesn't work properly after cleaning. I had to return and get a different unit.

Either you have hard water and need to clean the unit, or possibly something got into the machine. I have taken off the plate on the bottom of the unit (kind of a long triange with 3 screws) this was recommended from one of the critiques I read. I only use bottled distilled water, as our's is so hard, and it will keep the life of the machine extended. Hope this helps.

Give them a thorough scrub to get the layer of sediment off. And you do have to re-prime to get air out and re establish flow. Hopefully you've kept the priming washer thingy that comes with the filters.

Just purchased this pool cleaner. Mine is trying to climb up the walls but just does quite make it. I adjusted the skimmer and the wheel revolutions are correct. I'm going to try adding more hose because I noticed that it does loop once because of the turning. My pool is basically clean. I purchased this because all other cleaners that I've had, always got stuck near the steps. This one doesn't so I'm satisfied. If I can get it to climb, I'll be very satisfied.

I had the same problem. The flapper closes too fast. Try holding on to the lever for a couple of seconds to empty the tank.

Are you using distilled water? That is what I have used, and it keeps going (as long as the wiring in the cord connects!!)Keep sufficient water in it, the absorbent rod clean and wet. My directions say to clean any mineral deposits on the metal parts with cotton swabs. Good luck.

The return jets sometimes push the hoses towards the middle of the pool. If you can direct the pool return to the side of the pool instead of straight out. Also try adjusting the position of the hose weights. Make sure the main drains are off also as most cleaners will get stuck on them if the main drain is on.

I usually have the tub about half full then get in and attach. Are you firmly pressing each little suction cup? Seems to me that some cups are submerged and some are still out of the water when I do it. Perhaps a quick wipe of the area with plain vinegar to get rid of any old oil or soap scum might help. I love the thing!

You might try turning water off to washer. it should start draining and then the door should unlock. Check your water pressure for your home. It may be too much. I had issues until I lowered my pressure.
