How To Stop A Pool Cleaner Getting Stuck In Corners

Option 1: The Easiest Method

Remove the hose from the pool and lay it flat by the pool for a few hours on a hot day (above 28ºC)

Option 2: Method in Cooler Weather

• If the weather is cooler, lay your swimming pool hose out straight and fill it with warm water (50-60ºC). Make sure not to use boiling water.
• Roll the waterside to side until the hose warms up and uncoils.
• Empty the warm water and then pour cold water through the hose – either manually or by attaching one end to the pump.
• When you reinstall your hose you will notice the cleaner will now want to travel to the furthest points of your pool and his behaviour would have improved.
