Why my Astralpool Swimming Pool Vacuum SPLASHER does not move?
- BBrian RodriguezAug 14, 2025
If your Astralpool Swimming Pool Vacuum (SPLASHER) isn't moving, several factors could be at play. First, ensure your pool's filtration system is operating correctly and providing sufficient suction, backwashing the filter if needed. Check all baskets (pump and weir) for debris. Inspect the diaphragm for blockages or wear, replacing it if necessary. Look for leaks in the hoses. Air bubbles at the return line indicate a suction leak. Check the outer tube/extension pipe for excessive clearance (more than +- 2mm). For older filters (+- 3 years), consider changing the sand or cleaning/changing the filter cartridge. Also, verify the vacuum lid sits flush in the weir, replacing it if damaged.
