Why is my Pentair Swimming Pool Vacuum not climbing walls?
- KKathleen WatsonAug 2, 2025
If your Pentair Swimming Pool Vacuum isn't climbing walls, it could be due to several reasons. Try cleaning and washing the cartridge, as the cleaner might be too heavy. Brush the walls to remove algae. Ensure the water temperature is ideal, between 54-90° F (12-32° C). If the brushes are worn, consider replacing them. Check for and remove any debris around the impeller. Turn the cleaner upside down underwater to release trapped air, which can make it too light. Lastly, verify that the pH level is between 7.4 - 7.8, with a minimum of 7.2.
