It twists to start and stop. It is very difficult! The catfish pool cleaner is also very small.

Yes, you press down and twist - sounds like you might have a non functioning pump which happens more then we like.

Yes. Once you start bouncing or shooting it, the ball lights up. It shuts off automatically after it sits for awhile. There is no on / off switch, nor is one needed.

It seems to help but you need to watch for two issues; the Twister can clog up with leaves and debris and the pressure on your cleaner may be set too high. With settings right, mine never gets twisted and the Twister has solved a problem with spots not previously cleaned with just the automatic cleaner. I do have mine attached to my leaf canister and directly insert both in the pool side inlet because it will not seal completely without being under water.

If you can do the plum/elec you can program this thing...I did the plumb/elec thing myself and installed this baby! I did not know anything about pools until i bought my house.very simple instructions....compared to understanding electricity but,if you don't know anything about electricity get an electrician

I have not experienced that, but my neighbor bought one and he did. I know he called the manufacturers at Pool Blaster and they sent him a new one. It all happened fast and He is happy now.

Yup, all u do is twist the barrel and it switches between both loading options. Only thing is if u are in Magazine fed, make sure the mag is empty before u switch to hopper or it will probably jam. Very easy to use system though.

No, there is no on/off switch. When you plug it in after you've put the water in, it starts to work.

It comes with an elbow fitting that adapts from it's 1 1/4 inch outlet to a garden hose connection (shown in the picture). I know hardware stores (like Lowes or Home Depot as well as Amazon) have a "float switch" that you can add to turn it on/off automatically. I've seen in stock the style that's just a "rubber ball" on the end of a cord where you tie it off so the cord end is pulled down from the rising water to turn the pump on, then as the water drops it should flip back over to turn it off. I personally got another style (the "Parts2O" brand model FPS17-66) that has a rod for a plastic float to slide up and down. The float on mine slides up the rod and when it hits the top, it pushes the rod into the switch housing to turn it on. Then as the water drops it slides down the rod but doesn't turn it off until the float is at the bottom and pulls the rod (where you've set a stop). I went with that one since I wanted to have the water taken down quite low (to where the plumbing connection on the pump is) and the other style can't be set that low (it's "rubber ball" needs a lot of swing room and for me it hits the pump and/or won't turn off). Either of those float switches come with ~10 foot of cord and have a standard plug that goes in your wall as well as a place to plug in the pumps plug, so you don't need to do any special wiring. Hope things work out for you.

If you are not sure about the screw on tip make 100% sure that your tip is not a screw on. I myself ordered one off of here and I thought it wasn't a screw on tip but it was. You may need a pair of pliers to take the tip off I did anyway. If that doesn't work contact the manufacturer of the brand of your pool stick and ask them, hope I helped

Yes there's a little black switch just above the trigger which will switch the direction of rotation!

No switch. You'll be lucky if the load feature even works. Don't waste your money on this garbage.

Click once for full on. That's the only control. The only thing twisting does it prevent the light from being turned on (useful during travel).

The return jet is just that it attaches to the return jet on your pool and doesn't require a water flow switch. I'm sure it could be converted to the twist and lock style by changing out the fittings on your return line plumbing.

No. The problem is getting it to come on when you want it to. The "switch" is parallel contact wires on the notyom of the trigger guard. My hands stay so dry that thry will not make good contact and will not reliably turn on the laser.

Roger,There is no switch on this pump (on/off) you just plug in when you want it to run an then unplug when you are done. If you have a 14x42 or bigger pool, you would need to run the pump for 3-4 hours a day (preferrablly 2 hours in morning and then 2 hours at night) in order to keep it krystal Clear (Hope this Helps)

I can't tell you how to wire your pump, but I can tell you that the float switch changes state from normally open to normally closed (and vice versa) by removing the retainer clip and inverting the float.
