Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn’t my BullShark moving or why has it become sluggish?
Reduced movement is usually caused by insufficient water flow or a blockage. Check the Flapper chamber for debris, empty the skimmer and pump baskets, and backwash or clean the filter. Ensure the suction seal is fitted correctly with the curved tips facing upward and confirm the hose has no leaks. Use the flow gauge to verify the cleaner is receiving the correct flow.
Why does the cleaner get stuck on steps, corners, or ladders?
This is often related to water circulation patterns, hose length, or hose weight placement. Adjust the pool’s return eyeball jets to direct flow away from the problem area, confirm the hose length is correct, and reposition hose weights if required. Use the regulator valve to fine-tune suction within the recommended flow range.
Why does the cleaner travel in a repetitive pattern instead of covering the whole pool?
Repetitive patterns occur when return-line flow influences hose movement or when hoses are not straight. Angle the return jets downward, straighten any coiled hose sections, and confirm the swivel on top of the cleaner rotates freely. Check suction using the flow gauge and adjust if necessary.
Why won’t the cleaner climb the walls or loses grip partway up?
Wall-climbing performance depends on correct suction, hose balance, and seal condition. Increase the flow slightly, ensure hose weights are positioned correctly, and inspect the suction seal and footpad for wear. Clean the filtration system and verify the transition from floor to wall is not too sharp, as square-bottom pools limit climbing ability.
Why does the cleaner climb out of the pool and suck in air?
Excess flow or incorrect valve installation can cause the cleaner to climb too high. Confirm a regulator valve is installed in the skimmer, adjust flow to the recommended level using the flow gauge, and check for debris inside the valve.
Why does the cleaner tie itself in knots or twist the hose?
This typically occurs when hose sections are not straight or the swivel cannot rotate freely. Lay the hose sections in the sun to relax any memory from storage. Check the swivel for free movement and confirm correct suction levels using the flow gauge.
Why is the cleaner leaving dirty patches or missing areas of the pool?
Uneven coverage may be caused by restricted cleaner movement or reduced suction. Straighten the hose, check for wear on the footpad, adjust return jets downward, confirm hose weight placement, and ensure run times are long enough for full coverage.
Why does the cleaner only clean the walls and not the floor?
This usually indicates incorrect suction or a blockage in the regulator valve. Check the valve for debris, ensure the footpad is not worn, and verify flow with the gauge. Make sure the cleaner is connected through the regulator valve and not directly to suction.
Why is the cleaner sticking to the walls or floor and not releasing?
Excessive suction or debris in the regulator valve can cause the cleaner to adhere too strongly. Reduce suction slightly using the regulator valve, inspect the valve for blockages, and check the footpad for wear.
Why is the cleaner not sitting flat on the pool floor?
This can occur when hose balance or suction levels are incorrect. Adjust hose weights, ensure adequate but not excessive flow, check the swivel for free rotation, and reposition return jets to avoid lifting the hose.
How do I check and maintain the Flapper?
Turn off the pump, slide open the top latch, and lift the lid to access the chamber. Remove any debris and inspect the Flapper for wear or damage. To replace it, pull it off the steel pin and press the new Flapper into place until it clicks securely.
When should I replace the Suction Seal or Foot Pad?
Replace these components when they become thin, flexible, or visibly worn. A worn seal or footpad reduces coverage and wall-climbing performance. Regular inspection helps maintain consistent operation.
How do I set up and balance the hose for optimal movement?
Measure enough hose to reach the farthest point of the pool plus one additional section. Attach hose weights between the third and fourth sections, and the fourth and fifth sections from the cleaner. Adjust placement if needed to improve coverage.
How do I adjust water flow using the Regulator Valve and Flow Gauge?
Insert the flow gauge into the leader hose, turn on the pump, and adjust the regulator valve until the indicator sits within the recommended range. Remove the gauge before normal operation. Optimal performance is achieved with balanced flow rather than maximum suction.
What return-line (eyeball jet) adjustments help improve coverage?
Direct return jets slightly downward and away from the cleaner hose. This prevents surface circulation from pushing the hose and causing repetitive patterns. Allow the pool water to settle after adjustments to evaluate improvement.
Should I remove the cleaner from the pool during chemical treatments or when swimming?
Yes. Remove the cleaner before administering a chemical shock and avoid leaving it in highly chlorinated water. When the pool is in use, disconnect the cleaner and move it to the side to prevent interference.
