Troubleshooting:

Machine does not move, or moves sluggishly.
– Ensure ideal flow is being attained using pool pulse. Note: In water 60° F or less, it may be necessary to increase flow to compensate for the reduced flexibility of the hose and diaphragm.
– Check diaphragm for damage or wear.
– Backwash filter and empty pump basket.
– Check for air in system. If water level in pump basket drops, check hose connections, tighten all fittings at pump, check gasket in pump basket for wear.

Machine does not cover entire pool.
– Ensure ideal flow is being attained using pool pulse.
– Point return jets as far down as possible.
- Make sure hose does not have memory from being coiled.
– Confirm proper hose length.

Machine sticks on ladder.
– Ensure ideal flow is being attained using pool pulse.
- Remove ladder if possible.
– Install large wheel deflector.

Machine sticks in steps.
– Ensure correct amount of hose is being used. Shorten if necessary.
– Reduce flow to low side of ideal range.
– Install large wheel deflector.

Must Have Pool Tool! We've had our Baracuda Ranger for at least three years! Here in south LA ...our summer brings havoc to pools... this could be left in our pool with the pump on the timer all summer long...NO MESS OR ALGAE problems! We are only buying a new one because of the breakdown of a small piece inside the suction compartment... AMAZING VALUE...OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE! September 8, 2012

Didn't work for me This had so many parts to assemble and getting it into the pool was a chore. Once there it took off and I had high hopes for it but then it would stop. It would start and stop a lot; mostly stop. Meanwhile when it WAS moving it made this noisy flapping sucking noise. It never finished cleaning the pool. I have a 15'x25' oval flat bottom pool with stairs. It did hide in the corner near the stairs a lot. Just stopped there and didn't move. I gave up after one more try. Just a waste of money. Went back to the reliable and simple to use Diver Dave/Aqua Critters. June 2, 2010

Simply the Best. Works a whole heck of a lot better than my Hayward Aqua Critter Lady Bug (which was problems from day one and fell apart in less than a year). Plus In The Swim beat my local Pinch-A-Penny pool store by $50 on the price and I got it next day!!!!!!!!!!!! August 6, 2009

Great Purchase I found this product to be very easy to install. It only took about 5 minutes. Within a day it had cleaned the bottom better than any other cleaner I've tried. July 25, 2009
