Hicks6 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 My automatic pool vacuum gets stuck on the main drain constantly. It only works under supervision. I've tried the clip thing and that didn't work. What can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 What pool cleaner? @Pool Clown, @jimmythegreek, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Does your cleaner have a backup valve? That should be taking care of a sticking problem. If your unit is getting stuck from the suction of the main drain, You probably dont have a VGB drain cover installed, and should do so for safety reasons.

I have a flat main drain cover. I've looked into this before, but I don't really know how to pick the right retrofit cover for my setup. I suppose I could just bring in the cover to my local pool store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
