How to fix an Elite Pool Cleaner Swimming Pool Vacuum that won't move?
- JJustin McintoshAug 13, 2025
If your Elite Swimming Pool Vacuum isn't moving while the pump is running, try these steps: 1. Make sure the hose is connected at the weir. 2. Check the hammer/flapper chamber for obstructions. Remove any you find, and rinse the chamber and hammer/flapper in pool water before refitting. 3. Ensure all hoses are properly connected. Listen for hissing sounds at connections; if present, push the connections together firmly. 4. Remove any air from the hose. 5. Check for damage to the hose sections or obstacles within them. 6. Empty the leaf basket and backwash the filter. 7. Confirm the disc/skirt rotates freely and is correctly fitted between the footpad and side intakes with the fins facing upward and the word “top” visible.
