How do you get this thing to stay in place? Keeps submerging and moving when my pool cleaner is turned on.

I haven't had either of these problems. My pool cleaner is a Kreppy Krawler and I have no problem with it messing with the cover.

I had this problem due to the strength of my pump and the returns positioning and ended up getting a few 2" spring clamps from local home improvement store (also sold on Amazon), I have not cut my cover to size yet but I get some of the cover against the coping and I'm able to use the clamp to hold the cover to the coping of the pool, that solved my problem.

I have not had this problem. But try filling the pool a little higher so water does not catch on top of the cover. Also I know you probably know this but make sure the bubble part in facing down into the water. Hope this helps.

I have never had any problems. I trimmed it to fit the pool with cut outs around the ladder and the skimmer opening. Mine never moves.

Good Q. I don't have that issue with our 27' round solar cover. Our Barracuda works fine under the cover.

I have not experienced this problem. have a navigator pro cleaner & it works fine also have a water fall feature & sometimes the cover gets a little water on the top but nothing that really makes a problem. have you cut the cover to fit inside your pool & be sure the bubbles are facing down. sorry I wasn't much help.

First turn off pump. Then attach hose to cleaner and hold cleaner under water till the bubbles are released throught the side of the cleaner. Next submerge the cleaner and allow it to sink to the bottom of the pool. Hold the hose vertically and push it under water untill you reach the end of the hose. Water should start running out of the hose end. Now the hose should be pushed onto the suction outlet making sure to not raise the hose end above the pool suface. Now you can start the pump and after a short time the cleaner will start to move.

I have the same problem as the others here. I have to use a still-son wrench to get mine off. I have applied pool lubricate to the lid but it has not helped. It would be interesting to have the manufacture respond to this problem on this forum. How about it Amazon?

We are having the same problem I adjusted the flow valve spring to the first position and got some movement but it took hrs to cover half of the pool. I am not impressed with it at all

The return jets sometimes push the hoses towards the middle of the pool. If you can direct the pool return to the side of the pool instead of straight out. Also try adjusting the position of the hose weights. Make sure the main drains are off also as most cleaners will get stuck on them if the main drain is on.

The best way we found to complete drain/dryout the pool/slide (sidewinder) is to turn off blower and allowing deflate and drain like normally would (be sure to open plugs under pool). Then once most of the water has drain roll (like a toothpaste tube) pressing as much out water as possible. Then unroll and re-inflate - - - -this should help the trapped water to escape via the seams, etc...allow to stand atleast 15-20 minutes and then deflate and re-roll again. Hopefully this helps!!

Mine has never done that. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I would contact the manufacturer if I was you. Normally they run for about a 1 hour cleaning cycle and shut off. I have a larger pool (18'x36' oval) and I usually have to run it through two cycles to completely clean the pool.

Yes catching on the pool ladder is definitely a problem with most automatic vacuums and above ground pools. There are days I'm out there every 20 minutes to move it away from the ladder and then there are weeks I don't have any problems. Removing the ladder while running it is probably the only way to guarantee it won't get tangled up but that is not always feasible. My ladder can easily lift out so if I need to I can do that.

It stays in place by filling the lower chamber with water. Once you fill it you cannot move it because it becomes very heavy. I hope this helps.

The Poolcleaner spins around every so often, and heads off in a different direction, and automatically frees itself. My old Kreepy got stuck almost every time, the poolcleaner has never stuck - I love it.

I have had good luck by adjusting the direction of flow of the water on the valve on the side of the pool where the water comes out to circulate the water in the pool (I'm sorry, I can't think of the "technical" name for that valve at this time. Sometimes adjusting the angle of the flow lower, towards the bottom of the pool helps, but it is something you will need to play with to see what works for your particular size pool. Then, of course, anytime you take your hoses out of the water, it is also very important to keep the hose in a straight line, not in a pile. But the first suggestion is what always fixed my tangling issue.

It always turns the same way. On my pool the cleaner kept getting stuck near the shallow end stairs. With this it twists the hose until the cleaner dislodges and floats a little bit away.

It has to do with how the PoolCleaner works. After every 10-12 (i belive so) rotations of the wheels the cleaner pauses a mechanical randomizer kicks in and it changes its direction using the gearing mechanism. As a result this cleaner not get stuck, I have used my for months and it is this great feature that prevents it from getting stuck. Please watch a video or two from youtube and check this out for yourself.

You have kinda push down & then screw it on. There is a stop line on the pump, if u don't stop it will mess up. But mine comes loose after using it a few times but I just tighten it again.

It's a battle. My hose keeps splitting and I have to continually untangle so that it will work the pool. It does a great job when working properly. Try to make sure you connectors rotate freely!

I have same trouble, but mine worked fine 1st. day, did you check the pool intake screen inside the hose fitting? You have to unscrew the hose fitting then see the plastic mesh (inside pool intake) where it will catch larger bugs and other debris, sometimes it will stop most all water flow until cleaned out.

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.
