SOURCE: floor attachment does not suction, no clog in the hose, hand held works when dettached from floor attachment

Have you checked the floor head? Use a pipe cleaner or twisted metal to carefully and gently see what's in there. It sounds like dirt or something has definately sealed up the main suction channel.

SOURCE: Our Zodiak G4 pool cleaner is not pulsating. We

If the cleaner is not pulsating then either you don't have enough suction or the diaphragm is bad or clogged. (if you have WAY WAY too much suction the diaphragm can stuck collapsed, or a hose can crimp. this will also cause it to stop pulsating.) It is very common to have a **** or tear next to or just below the plastic retaining ring that holds the diaphragm on the inner cassette tube. Also check and make sure there are no holes or breaks on the hoses. When you check the suction with the pool pulse, make sure suction not too high or too low. If the suction is too high it will usually pulse very very rapidly, but sometimes the diaphragm can get stuck as mentioned above. If you have proper suction, and the diaphragm is fine then it will pulse. the only other possible problem is the the cassette assembly could be damaged, or cracked. Hope this helps. If you need further assistance post a reply in the comments, and don't hesitate to leave good thumb rating if you found this helpful. Thanks, and good Luck!

SOURCE: How do I replace the

Replacement of the sand is easy but there are a couple of things you want to do first.
Make sure you have a good shop-vac, get gloves, and purchase the proper sand.
This sand filter calls for #20 silica filter sand. (this will be available online, at your pool store, or at any water treatment facility).
Here is the link for this filters manual, and for the brochure (which has good pictures)
http://www.waterco.com.au/CMS/uploads/brochures/ZZB0512_Thermoplastic.pdf
http://www.waterco.com.au/CMS/uploads/Manuals/Sand_manual_829006.pdf

The manual has step by step instructions on filling and starting the filter.
The only part it doesnt tell you about is how to empty the old filter media.

To start this:
1. turn off circulation pump
2. Bleed any pressure or vacuum from the system using the bleeder valve, or just rotate the multi-port valve.
3. Open the drain valve at the bottom of the filter if there is one (some dont have one)
4. remove the collar between the multiport valve, and the tank. (this should be 2 phillips head screws)
5.Remove the multi-port valve.
you now have access to the sand.
6. Remove sand by whatever means (either a scoop or a good shop-vac with a thick hose)
be sure to be carefull once you get 2/3 of the way down the inside of the tank. There are LATERALS down there that are most likely brittle from chlorine.

Once sand is removed check and clean the laterals at the bottom of the tank.
Clean and flush the filter body and follow the directions in the manual to fill and start-up the filter.

My Sonic Clean vacuum has no suction?

All questions need full make and model

https://www.google.com/search?q=sonic+clean+vacuum

They make a few models in upright and floor compacts. You have a blockage somewhere. When something is obstructing the flow, the motor is still trying to suck air. It has to go somewhere, so it blows instead. The blockage could be anywhere, but you mention brush rolls, so on an upright, remove the base plate and the brush and check the hole behind it. In a vacuum with a hose, check the hose itself and the motorized brush head, the same hole behind the brush.

https://www.google.com/search?q=sonic+clean+vacuum+no+suction

If your vacuum's suction power has decrease with use, this is because 1) the filter bag needs to be changed and/or 2) the vacuum has a clog in the suction path. For clog removal instructions, please reference page 10 of your vacuum's user manual.

Can the Navigator be adjusted for the speed?

The Speed of a Navigator is adjusted by water flow. There is no adjustment on the unit itself. The more flow through the unit the faster it will go. If the unit moves too fast or too slow proper cleaning may be sacrificed. The proper flow can be achieved using the flow meter that comes with the unit.

Many pools are set up with multiple shut-off valves in front of the pump. These regulate flow from bottom suction lines, skimmer suction lines, and vacuum suction lines. If you have these valves, make sure the valve on the line the vacuum is attached to is fully open and then adjust the flow by closing off the other valves slowly until proper flow is reached. This is where the flow meter is used.

If there are no valves and the Navigator is moving too fast, an in-line valve is also supplied with the unit and can be used to regulate the flow. This valve is installed between the vac hose and the port where the vacuum is connected to the pool (side port or skimmer).

When vacuuming carpet with the electric power brush it will ocassionly , go to zero suction mode and shut off the brush. I have tried to cause it to happen by playing with the joint areas ( handle to tube...

You gave a good start to giving us good information to help you with solving this problem-- But I need a little more information:

It sounds like you have the Electric Motor driven Power nozzle/ Floor attachment-- am I correct? (Not the type that has a little vacuum motor down at the floor attachment-- Not one that depends upon air flowing thru the unit to power the brush, -- am I correct?)

You can control the motor with a switch at the handle-- correct?

So here is the question: - when you say "the electric power brush -- goes to zero suction" -- what tells you that it 'went to zero suction'?-- the little red flag on the vacuum?-- or what?

I am suspecting something might be caught up in the floor wand-- or at the power nozzle itself-- or even in the flexible hose. Do you know how to take the hose off, and place the hand-held end, in the opening in the Miele Vacuum? Can you do that, and clear out the hose first-- and then the hose with the want connected?

If they are all clear-- we may need to open the floor plate on the floor nozzle, and check for something caught in the air passageway--

How to connect the vacuum system in the swimming pool


Hello,
This is not a problem that I can help you with, you need to contact someone in your area that deals with swimming pools and they have vacuums that are specially designed to do the swimming pools and they can better direct you in what to do.
