TROUBLE

                                          

SOLUTION

•  Ensure the filter pump is operating. Lift the auto cleaner
  out of the water and check if water is flowing out from  
  either end of the device.
•  Tighten hose and hose collar nut securely, and connect 
  the hose to the water return connector, see “Setup” 
  section. If you are not sure which return connector is,  
  try connecting the auto cleaner to each pool outlet until  
  water is flowing out of either end of the device.
•  Lift the auto cleaner out of the wrinkled area, and make  
  sure the pool floor is as smooth as possible.
•  Contact Intex Service Center.

•  Check and clean the debris net and micro-screen.
•  Clean or replace the filter pump cartridge.
•  If using a sand filter, ensure the sand media is  clean  
  by backwashing it. See sand filter owner’s manual.
•  If you are still not satisfied with the speed, a higher flow
  rate filter pump is recommended. 

•  Release the air from the auto cleaner by following the  
 “Setup” 

instructions.

•  Pool water too dirty. Ensure the pool water chemistry
  is balanced. If the pool water is green, brown or black,  
  adjust the chlorine and pH level. See pool owner’s  
 manual.
•  Check if the pump flow rate is within the specified  
  range, if the flow rate is more than 3500 gal/h, change  
  pump with lower flow rate.

•  Remove the brushes from the underside and put the  
  Auto Cleaner back into the pool, see “Setup” section.
•  Clean all the debris from the Auto Cleaner after 
  operating for 2-3 hours continuously.

If you continue to experience difficulty, please contact our Consumer Service 
Department for assistance. See separate “Authorized Service Centers” sheet.
