How to fix Pentair RACER if it doesn't move?
- J
  James CollinsAug 22, 2025
  If your Pentair Swimming Pool Vacuum cleaner isn't moving or is moving slowly, make sure the filter pump and booster pump are on and moving water; cleaning your pool filter system might be necessary. Also, check the wall fitting screen for debris, removing and rinsing if needed. Use the provided Flow Gauge to check for proper flow and adjust at the wall fitting if necessary. Inspect all feed hose connections and swivels for leaks. Clear any debris from the gear teeth on the front drive wheels by gently rotating the wheels backward. Finally, check if the rear wheels spin freely and replace them if needed.

  If your Pentair Swimming Pool Vacuum cleaner will not climb, check the debris bag and empty it if it's full. Ensure proper water flow using the Flow Gauge and adjust the flow at the wall fitting if needed. Reposition the thrust jet to improve climbing. Keep in mind that the climbing ability depends on the pool shape and available water flow; it will perform better in pools without sharp angles or in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

  If your Pentair Swimming Pool Vacuum won't climb, start by checking the debris bag and emptying it if it's full. Then, check the water flow using the provided Flow Gauge and adjust it at the wall fitting if needed. You can also reposition the thrust jet to improve climbing. Keep in mind that the cleaner's climbing ability depends on the pool's shape and water flow; it performs better in pools without sharp angles or abrupt transitions from the floor to the wall.
