I followed your tips and how to in the video to fix my poolvergnuegen pool vacuum!! A pool guy takes care of my pool but has stopped coming due to the stay at home orders. The vacuum hasn't moved in about 10 days so I decided to check out the pump and troubleshoot after watching you video. Turns out that there was palm tree seed jamming up the turbine blades and some large leaves jamming up the suction. This video gave me the confidence to disassemble and perform some troubleshooting maintenance on the vacuum. My pool and I thank you for this video. Appreciate it
I was able to clear debris that seized the wheels because of the tips on this video. I was expecting to fork out $$$ to either repair or replace my unit, but thankfully, after seeing this video, it turned out to be a 5-10 minute fix. THANK YOU!!! 😊🙏🏼
Tried everything to get my old 200 vac running properly, including ordering new parts, but the gears were still slipping... Then i found your vid pointing out the design flaw in the axle mount, and how to stabilize it using zip ties, and VOILA! Problem solved! Thank you!!
this is a very reliable cleaner had it in one of my customers pools after 5 years i had to change out the turbines and new hoses i also change out the tires but over all this thing works great
So true. I've started upgrading all 16 of mine to the new Next Generation with the Conversion Kit. So far I have done two of them, this will give the cleaner an indefinite lifespan. : th-cam.com/video/4hg1qP3dHNI/w-d-xo.html
Hello, thank you for the great videos! I replaced the bottom of my Poolvergnuegen with the conversion kit following your video. I reused the swivel hose connector and skirts per the video. I also replaced the tires with new ones. It travels as before and does suction but a bit slower, and it leaves tracks that are as wide as the skirts are. It does not seem to climb up as high as it used to. Per another of your videos i emulated the positioning of the weights and installed the original throat size from my old unit. ( Again, thank you for your videos. They are great! )I have checked the skimmer baskets and i do have suction where the hose connects to the side of the pool. Any suggestions ? Thanks.
The updated version works a little differently from the older one. But it should not be a marked difference. I would start with a clean filter and see if that helps.
All of your videos are outstanding and very informative - Thank You! I just got my 2nd Pool Cleaner / Next Generation - the old one lasted 17 years with regular tire changes and maintenance - without a doubt the best pool cleaner out there!
Hi great video I hope u can help me my pool cleaner was working fine and after changing the new filters now it works for one hour and then starts floating and stays there never sinks down unless I turn the valve to skimmer then he sinks down and start working for one hour and start floating again I try everything and I can make it work like he was working whit the old filters please help
Hello, First let me just say I love your videos. Need your expertise. Need to replace my Kreepy Krauly and after your videos I am very inclined to try the poolcleaner but I want your opinion on whether your preference is the 2 wheels or the 4 wheels. To give you more info our pool measures 12'x24' with the deep section measuring 5' deep. I was told the 4 wheels will have more climbing power but I wanted your opinion. Lastly would you pick the pool cleaner over the aquanaut? Thank you in advance for your opinion!!
Hello thank you for your videos we bought the four wheel model this weekend and I’m getting the proper RPMs at the wheel but it’s just not climbing the wall I’ve tried all three throats, Any recommendations? Thanks
I got the poolcleaner and set it up using the port on the side of my pool, where I used to run my old vacuum. This thing is constantly getting to the shallow end of the pool and getting stuck at the stairs. It won't turn to go a different direction, eventually goes back a few feet, but then right back into the stairs and not going to the rest of the pool. How do I fix this? Plenty of hose and suction.
I purchased the Phoenix 4x4 3 years ago and it works great. Lately it goes onto the pool drain cover and gets stuck there until I pull it off. Any suggestions for this problem?
Great video series, thank you! Just got mine installed today and not understanding how adjusting the hose weight placement and throat size should be used for best effect. Maybe this warrants a dedicated video… I was surprised to find that changing throat size did not impact the wheel RPM. Will test some more tomorrow… I have a variable speed pump typically running at low (1750 RPM) sucking air from a pipe that connects to the skimmer and an in-wall vacuum port. I have a valve that can adjust suction between skimmer and vacuum, set to have skimmer functional while trying to maximize vacuum suction. I get about 7.5 RPM from The Pool Cleaner. Does not climb walls but seems to be working well enough, better than my old Navigator. Shall I run the pump (at least for some partial time) at higher RPM. Not sure how to think about optimizing performance… I appreciate any insights you may have. Thank you!
Thanks for the great feedback. It won't climb the walls very well regardless of the pump speed. I would say if it is working fine at the lower RPM there is no reason to run it at a higher speed during the week. A great cleaner.
I have a zodiac G4 and have a lot of trouble getting it to move around the pool, I have check the jest and pressure it just seems to circulate in the deep end , do you have suggestion? I find it just easier to vacuum in 15-20mins than struggle with a system that doesn’t work unless I’m doing something wrong
What are the big bumps on the tires designed for? To break suction every few feet? Does it do a better job of cleaning if the bumps are cut off? Thanks for all your videos, really have learned a lot.
They are on the tires specifically so it won't get trapped on any main drain. The new anti-vortex ones in particular that stick up 1-1-1/2" or more on the pool floor. Also for pools where the main drain might be active, the hump will help break the suction. If your main drain is off and not anti-vortex you can try it without the hump. It will climb better and move around smoother. I would just wait until you are ready to replace the tires and just experiment with the soon to be old pair first and run it with the humps cut off and see how it does. The tires are patented for that very reason, I've had this cleaner in a pool where a Hayward Navigator would stick to a drain and a Kreepy Krauly to another and the PoolCleaner never gets stuck. It is a great engineered cleaner.
I have this pool cleaner. In my small sized pool, the cleaner comes to the top of the water alot and sucks air. I adjusted the "floaters" on the hoses. I don't think the hose it too long but it may be. Any recommendation on how I can keep it from sucking air at the top of the pool water?
The Float actually does nothing but keep the cleaner head balanced in the pool. The pool suction is probably the issue - it is set too high. Have you tried adjusting the pool suction to slow the cleaner down? Also if you have the 3 different Throat inserts, remove the "Medium" one and insert the "small" one.
Sure thing. Hayward only recently started shipping them with all three Throat Inserts. If reducing the suction does not solve the problem you can call Hayward and they will send you the "Small" insert for free.
my pool cleaner doesn't "suck" if i feel for suction at the last part of the hose, it is super strong, i put it onto the pool cleaner and check the suction at the bottom and NOTHING... Ive take it apart, there are no obstructions etc. Any help on what is wrong?
My older Pool Cleaner gets stuck at the steps at the far end of the fiberglass pool. It just sits there and spins until I move it. It also doesn't climb the walls like it used to. I've changed tires and it has fairly new hoses of the proper length.
I changed some parts and it was working after but now it spins and barely moves forward a yard or so but then spins for long periods. What's causing this?
Great Video, thanks for making it. Would this cleaner work well for for a small ~12000 gallon modified kidney shape pool? I'm having trouble with my great white it never wants to clean the shallow end , so i'm looking for one that will do better at both shallow and deep ends?
Matt Barnes This one covers the whole pool without issue. The Great White seems to have that defect as reported by others. There are actually three options for you if you are thinking of purchasing. Check out my latest video: th-cam.com/video/6oFAY7MjKUQ/w-d-xo.html
The Devil almost suckered me into a buying a new one but than the good Lord sent me this video. Pulled out the screwdriver and found a rock. Thank you for posting.
Hi. I have this pool cleaner. I was tired of rebuilding our Navigator so thought I would give this a try. I like this cleaner but every morning it is floating instead of sitting on the bottom of the pool and I have to push it down to the floor of the pool so it can clean. What would cause it to float? Thanks for any help you can give me on this annoying problem.
+kovich IraI'd like to know the answer to this also. Try copying and pasting your question to his facebook page as the most recent post to this page was 11 months ago and he may not be checking video pages more than a few weeks old.
Suction side air leak. Look for lots of fine air bubbles entering pool or floating in the water, they attach to the cleaner and hose and eventually the air bubbles will lift it off the bottom. Most amazing thing ever to see happening (the power of bubbles), shake the hose and it drops to the bottom - if this happens you have a major problem with suction-side air leak. This can happen because the cleaner doesn't pulse or vibrate like other cleaners, so the bubbles manage to stay attached.
what type of cleaner do you recommend for a small fiberglas pool with sqaure 90° walls.. can it climb up walls at 90° angle? suction type prefered because i have a side port.
That angle seems to step for this cleaner in my opinion. I would try a bouncing type cleaner like the Zodiac G2 - I use that one in fiberglass pools on my route without issues.
+Rashiba Thompson Not sure. I don't think Hayward has put the parts list online at all yet. E-mail Mark at: mark.pieri@gmail.com He is the PoolCleaner sales rep for Hayward.
My 2-wheel PoolCleaner is about 6 years old. I replaced the tires, cleaned the filters and it was working fine. Recently however the cleaner stays in one spot and just turns in circles.
Sounds like the gears may be worn out. After 6 years that can happen. if the hoses are still in good shape a "Lower Body Conversion Kit" would be a good idea. It is basically all of the vital parts and you will get another 6 years out of your cleaner.
We have an in ground vinyl pool. I installed the larger opening and cut off the wheel tabs. The Pool Cleaner still would not climb the walls. I tried adjusting the floats to various locations: No luck. Finally, I removed the floats: Success. Without the floats, the Pool Cleaner climbs the walls. Pool deep: 5 ft; Wheel rpm ~ 10-12 rpm. Blue wheels.
Sorry, I should have posted my question here. My pool cleaner is only 2 years old and the right wheel is no longer moving. I checked the teeth of the wheels and they look fine. I even switched the left and right. The left tire is moving, but it's not turning the right wheel. The cleaner always ends up in the deep end because it appears to be slipping. Thank you. Sorry for posting on your other video.
I haven't seen that issue in a two year old cleaner. It sounds like a gear issue. Maybe if you contact Hayward they will help you fix it under the warranty. Manufacturers will sometimes do that fro you. Where did you purchase it from?
Why aren’t bouncing type suction cleaners the style anymore? I would think wheel type suction cleaners are more maintenance compared to a bouncing type cleaner. all you have to replace for example on a kreepy krauly is the foot pad and fin disc. A zodiac cleaner needs a diaphragm replacement every few months. But a wheel type cleaner you need to replace wheels ,tires ,gears and turbine. I don’t really understand.
Geared cleaners don't get stuck in corners and steps so much superior to bouncing cleaners. Unless the pool is fiberglass, tile or vinyl - then the bouncing cleaners are better.
I know, old video but hopefully I'll get some info. I just purchased a Phoenix 4x4 to replace a breaking mx8 elite. I can't get this thing to even think about climbing. It moves around ok, I have it set to 12 to 13 rpm but can't get it to climp. It's in a pebble tec pool and was told that it should climb really well, better than the mx8. Should I cut the knobs of the tires or am I just stuck. Thank you for all your videos and all your help.
@@SPL Thanks. I actually took it back to the store and purchased a rebuild kit for the mx8. I put it together and it's working great. I guess I'll stick with the mx8 now I know how easy it is to repair. Thanks for the reply..
