Common Swimming Pool Cleaner Problems

Every pool is constructed differently. Each pool has a personality and each pool cleaner has its own personality. Sometimes matching the pool cleaner to a specific pool can be a daunting task. Once you have found the right combination, keeping that cleaner working year after year is the responsibility of the home owner. Your first task is to read the owner’s manual. It contains valuable information on replacing parts and checking your cleaner when it is malfunctioning. All pool cleaners will require maintenance regardless of their brand and model. The surface of the pool will affect the longevity of the pool cleaner. Rougher surfaces will cause more wear on the pool cleaner. Below are some common issues that can cause pool cleaners to malfunction.

Some of the most common problems found in pool cleaners are the following:

Hose gets tangled:

green-pool• This could be a consequence of hanging the hose on a hook throughout the winter, or it’s wound up too firmly. To resolve this issue, you should lay the hose in a straight line, out in the sunlight. The suns heat will help remove the coil.

• For hoses with swivels, are they spinning freely – check out that all hose swivels are properly functioning.

• Hose floats have lost their buoyancy, causing the hose to sink below the surface. Substitute hose floats.

Cleaner doesn’t move at all:

• Small stones and sticks can become blocked inside the throat of a suction or pressure cleaner.

• Check wall strainers for debris and backwash the filter.

• Belt driven, just like the Polaris 380, check out that the drive belts haven’t cracked or become stretched.

• If booster pump driven, detach the cleaner at the wall, and make sure that great water force is coming out of the wall.

• For suction cleaner, ensure that the filter and pump are cleaned.

Cleaner doesn’t reach all parts of the pool:

• If your cleaner gets jammed in the deep end, you could have a pressure issue.

• Suction cleaners may have an inner problem with their gear box, which prevents complete travel around the pool.

• Water flood from your pool returns can stop cleaner travel into certain parts of the pool.

• Most swimming pool cleaners won’t climb steps.

All pool cleaners need some kind of maintenance. Items such as bags, shoes or wings should be kept on hand at all times. Other pool cleaner parts and accessories can be ordered as needed. You can order pool cleaner parts for most pool cleaners at mypool.com. If you have question you can e-mail us

Simple Pool Cleaning Guide

Who said that maintaining a swimming pool is only for professionals? You can clean your swimming pool on your own, which will save you big money. Hiring professional pool cleaners to keep your pool clean could be very costly. You can always perform this responsibility on your own.

If you do not have the tools essential for maintaining your swimming pool, then visit mypool.com or you local pool supply store. The essentials are: A essential Pole, Brush, Skimmer Net, Vacuum Head, and Vacuum Hose. While all of these items can be bought on-line we would recommend your local pool store for the pole, due to its large size as It is fairly expensive to ship. The other items can easily be combined and shipped at MyPool.com. we have a large selection to choose from.

Cleaning your pool starts with skimming the leaves from the surface of the pool. By skimming the pool it will eliminate the need to manually vacuum the pool or for a pool cleaner to remove them. There are generally two types of nets one for skimming (skimmer net) and the other for removing debris on the bottom of the pool (leaf rake). I prefer the leaf rake because it has a larger opening and with a fine mesh bag it can be used for skimming and removing debris on the bottom of the pool.

Great_White_9500The second most important thing is to brush the pool. Brushing frequently helps prevent algae growth and helps the filter remove unwanted debris by stirring up the debris. When selecting a pool brush consider the surface of your pool. Never use a stainless steel brush on a Vinyl or Fiberglas Pool. For vinyl and fiber glas pools consider an all plastic brush or a metal backed brush with rounded edges or an all plastic brush with nylon bristles. Regular brushing, perhaps as little as once a week, will help keep the pool looking great.

Vacuuming your pool is perhaps the most time consuming task when it come to maintenance of the pool. Performing steps one and two will certainly help reduce the need to vacuum the pool on a regular basis. There are two types of pool vacuums, manual and automatic. Please read automatic pool cleaners for further information. For manual vacuuming of your pool, you will need a hose and a manual vacuum. When considering a hose, measure the distance from where your hose would connect to the pool to the farthest point of the pool and add at least five feet to this measurement. The important thing to consider when selecting a vacuum is the width of the vacuum. Larger widths will require less passes of the vacuum. For most residential pools 14 inches is adequate.

An often overlooked part of pool maintenance is regular cleaning of the pool tiles. Keeping the tiles clean will help prevent leaves and other debris from sticking to the tiles. A small amount of dish detergent (1-2 drops) can help keep those tiles clean. For white deposits on the tile, a mild cleaning with an acid may be required.

Don’t overlook testing your pool on regular interval as your pool water requires to be treated frequently to maintain its overall health and clarity. Dull pool water is a consequence of poor water chemistry. Run frequent water tests to recognize what’s required to be improve your water chemistry.

A word about landscaping: Choose plants that do not shed. If possible, avoid plants with long leaves as most automatic pool cleaners may have difficulty in dealing with them. Remember proper skimming of the pool through the adjustment of the water level will greatly reduce the need to clean the pool. If leaves are excessive a leaf cover may be necessary.

Install a Pool Skimmer Basket to Keep Your Pool Clean

With the summer season approaching, many home owners are thinking to escape the intolerable heat and humidity while relaxing in their personal swimming pools. Keeping the pool clean is a chore that must be done. One feature of most pools is the pool skimmer. The skimmer, when operated properly, can greatly reduce debris in the pool, making cleaning a much simpler process. There are three essential things to understand how a skimmer works: The weir, skimmer basket and the water level.

skimmer basketWhat exactly does a pool skimmer do? It’s function is removing debris floating on the pool surface such as leaves, small insects, and dust. Most pools have at least one skimmer. Some pools can have too or more. Simply stated removing debris from the surface keeps the pool cleaner. The skimmer consists of two parts the skimmer door called a weir and the skimmer basket. In order for the skimmer to work properly, the water level of the pool must be maintained at the middle of the skimmer opening. Try to adjust the pool returns, in such a manner that water circulates toward the skimmer.

The skimmer basket has an important role, namely keeping the large debris from getting to the pump and reducing the pool pumps ability to pump water. Cracked baskets should be replaced.

The weir acts as a small waterfall. When the pump is on, the weir door is pulled back slightly towards the basket, causing the surface water to be pulled into the skimmer by cascading over the top of the weir, removing surface debris.

Recently, solar powered pool skimmers have appeared in the market. Conceptually they work the same as a normal skimmer. For pools that do not have a built in skimmer this might be a solution.

No matter what kind of swimming pool you have the proper use of the skimmer weir and a functioning skimmer basket is essential in keeping your pool clean. At MyPool we have a large selection of skimmer baskets and skimmer weirs. As the swimming pool owner, water safety of everybody using your swimming pool is your responsibility.
