How to fix Great White Swimming Pool Vacuum that does not move?
- M
  michaelwebbAug 15, 2025
  To address a Great White Swimming Pool Vacuum that isn't moving or has a slow oscillator, try the following: * Backwash and/or clean the filter and empty all baskets to help the cleaner achieve the desired oscillation rate of 400-600 times per minute. * Clear any debris from the oscillator chamber, hose, or vac plate bypass (if applicable). * Repair any vacuum leaks, such as cracked vac plates or hoses, or a vac plate bypass adjusted too loosely. * Adjust valves to maximize vacuum to the port or skimmer where the cleaner hose is attached, and reduce or shut off other skimmers and the main drain. * Consider purchasing a new Sta-Rite hose, as it's essential for proper operation.

  If your Great White Swimming Pool Vacuum climbs past the waterline, causing the pump to lose prime, here's what you can do: First, ensure the vacuum regulator is installed. If the issue persists, remove the black rubber regulator cap and replace it with the cap marked #50 from the accessory bag. You can also slightly open the main drain valve until the cleaner no longer climbs out of the pool.
