No Water Pressure at the Cleaner

If your Polaris 280 Pool Cleaner isn't moving through the pool when the booster pump is on and you expect it to be moving, carefully pull the cleaner out of the pool to see if any water pressure is making it to the cleaner. If there isn't any water pressure, use the following tips to help identify the problem.

1 - Double check to make sure the Polaris Booster Pump is working properly and that it's running while the main pool pump is on.

2 - Make sure the main Pool Filter is clean. A dirty pool filter limit the water flow that feeds the pool cleaner booster pump.

3 - Make sure the Polaris In-Line Filter Screen is not clogged. A dirty filter screen restricts the water pressure that moves the cleaner.

4 - Check to see if any water pressure is making it past the Polaris Backup Valve. The backup valve case can develop a crack or the valve gears can get stuck in the backup position.
