when I first installed it, it floated, now after emptying it, it no longer floats. I believe I've attached it the same as at first. if I don't empty

I agree with Linda's answer. You have to assemble the canister and then hold it under water to get all of the air out so it doesn't float. I don't think you need to plug it directly into the wall vacuum hole though. I have a short length of hose attached to the wall, then the vacuum canister, and then the rest of the hose. This works fine.

When it has air in it it floats. When it is full of water it doesn't float. You don't want air in your vac line. It sounds like perhaps you've installed the canister inbetween pool hose links. Remove the canister from the hose. You should place the unit underwater and allow all the air bubbles to escape, then plug the entire canister directly into the wall vac hole. Then, attach the pool hose (make sure you hold the hose underwater to release all air pockets before attaching to canister.). Should solve your problem.

See Michael's answer. I use it the same way and it works fine. You must have air in it to make it float.

Do you mean the clip? It goes around the cord and hold the float the correct length you need. It goes back to the same place the old float was attached. If you put the old and NEW float side by side put the new clip at same spot on the NEW float as the old. If you can't find where it was bolted to you can take the bolt out that is holding the other cord and bolt both together.

Yes it will! It's air tight. So it traps air in it that's what make it float. Also if I remember right it's submersible for 30 minutes

No. You might not have it seated properly (installed correctly) I think I had that problem when I installed mine

Mine wasn't completely settled either. When I put it on the shelf it did eventually settle and works great. Hope this helps!

It will not float. you can attach your dog to the unit but if it's a big dog the dog will pull it around.

No it doesn't float. It just makes noises as if it were actually hovering. It's not really meant to be stood on either. Just more of a collectors piece.

No it does not float... However, I have used an inner tube under them to cover the entire pool with them. One of the pictures shows this.

Hi Kathy. In my experience, although it's been a long while, no. Part of the problem was that the system is fighting gravity with the water on the bottom and it just couldn't compensate. Great concept. Poor execution.

No, I just tried to make sure! My aqua-kong also did not float - it's on the bottom of a farm pond now!

It is by design. Mine came the same way. The air gets trapped even with the hole, so it will float as water backs up.

Robert.. go to you tube and specifically detail your search... there are several videos you can play and replay that show complete installation as well as adjustments on inflow and floats...

Check your float and turn the button so it has two numbers on it. this should solve this problem.

Mine doesn't do that. It gradually rises or falls according to what the ppm is. Sounds like you have a defective unit.

Ours didn't float at all. It was a family event in FL in August. Maybe you would have better luck.

I also used the water housing with the orange floater so if it does come off it floats instead of sink

The fill valve assemblance has a small flat seal that presses against the fill port when the float rises. The seal can be clean and should work again but it will only be temporary. Replace the assembly unless it is leaking past the flapper, it is very eady.
