What to do if there is little or no sweep hose movement in my Viper Hayward 5500 Swimming Pool Vacuum?
If the sweep hose of your Viper Swimming Pool Vacuum has little or no movement, it could be because the sweep hose is too weak. In this case, increase the sweep hose power. Alternatively, there might be a hole in the sweep hose, requiring you to replace it with P/N AX5000RSHA.
Why does the hose on my Viper Swimming Pool Vacuum frequently tangle?
If the hose of your Viper Swimming Pool Vacuum frequently tangles, ensure the floats are evenly spaced. There should be one float 18" inches from each end, and a third float in the middle, 5 feet from either end. Also, the hose might be too long, so check the hose length. The spin-out could also be too long or too frequent, so check the Summer/Winter position of the cam and consider using a spin-out cam with fewer prongs.

If your Viper Swimming Pool Vacuum cleaner does not reach the furthest point in the pool, it might be because the hose is too short. Check the hose length to ensure it is adequate.
