what should i do ro check out to see wny my automatic pool cleaner(polaris turtle) is not working?
Answer
I cannot find the website for polaris, seems they were sold not too long ago. I could be wrong on that.
If your turtle plugs into the skimmer or fitting in the water and there is not a separate pump to operate it, likely the turtle is a suction side automatic cleaner.
Suction side automatic cleaners all have something in common and that is when your filter is getting dirty the amount of water going through your cleaner and filter is way down. Inside your cleaner is a water paddle wheel that makes the turtle go.
Check your turtle to see if the passage ways are clean and clear and the hose is also, then clean out your filter. A clean filter should develop about 16-20psi when clean. When dirty and needing cleaning the pressure is about 26-30 or a 10 psi gain. Best to clean before 10 psi but surely by 10 psi.
You're welcome!!

Why isnt my pool vacuum moving?
mando
I have a suction powered automatic pool vacuum. Its hooked up to the skimmer of my in ground pool that doesn't not have a main drain or other inputs. I dont have any levers that will redirect suction or anything so the skimmer is it. The pump i have is a hayward 300 lb sand filter. The PSI it runs is a little over 20. Earlier this year the vac ran for a few days now it just sits there and i know it has too much suction cuz its hard to move off the plaster. What can i do?
Answer
The pool cleaner should pulse as it vacuums which is what makes it move around. No pulse means no movement. Could be the skirt also.
