Frequently Asked Questions About Automatic Pool Cleaners

Pool cleaners are designed to remove dirt, debris, and algae from your pool surfaces, keeping your water clean and clear with minimal effort.

Suction pool cleaners connect to your pool’s skimmer or dedicated suction line. Powered by the pool’s pump, they create a pulsating or continuous movement that draws debris through the hose and into your filtration system. They’re reliable, low-maintenance options that operate whenever the pump is running.

Robotic pool cleaners are electrically powered and operate independently of your pool’s filtration system. They use internal motors and intelligent navigation to move around the pool, collecting debris into a built-in filter compartment. These models are energy-efficient, programmable, and ideal for deep, thorough cleaning.

Baracuda’s range of pool cleaners provides efficient, low-maintenance cleaning and helps you keep your pool clear with minimal effort. Use our interactive map to find a pool store near you, or contact the Baracuda team for further assistance.

A high-quality pool cleaner typically lasts between 4 to 8 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and water conditions. Regular care can extend its lifespan, such as rinsing the cleaner after use and storing hoses properly. Over time, some parts, like diaphragms and footpads, may wear out and need replacing.

Ensuring your pool’s pump and filtration system work efficiently also helps maintain the cleaner’s performance. It’s best to remove the cleaner from the pool when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear.

Baracuda pool cleaners are built for durability and backed by a 2-year warranty, with 1-year coverage on wearable parts. Our after-sales support team can assist with troubleshooting, maintenance, and spare parts to keep your cleaner performing at its best.

Installation will vary slightly depending on the type of pool cleaner you’re using, but setup is generally simple and user-friendly.

For suction cleaners:

  • Turn off the pool pump before setup.
  • Connect the hose sections securely and ensure they reach the furthest point in your pool.
  • Attach the hose to the skimmer or suction port using the correct adapter.
  • Submerge the hose and cleaner completely to release trapped air.
  • Position the hose weight approximately 1 metre from the cleaner’s head.
  • Turn the pump back on and check that the cleaner is moving steadily across the pool.

For robotic cleaners:

  • Plug the cleaner’s control unit into a safe, grounded outdoor power source.
  • Place the cleaner in the pool and allow it to sink fully to the bottom.
  • Select your preferred cleaning cycle on the control unit.
  • Press start and let the cleaner do the rest. Once done, simply remove, rinse, and empty the filter.

If your pool cleaner keeps stopping, it may be due to one of the following issues:

  • Blocked Diaphragm or Hose – Check for debris stuck inside the cleaner, hose, or skimmer basket.
  • Low Suction Power – Ensure the pool pump and filter are clean and running at the correct pressure.
  • Air Leaks in the Hose – Inspect hose connections for leaks or cracks that could be reducing suction.
  • The Hose is Too Long or Too Short – Adjust the length to ensure proper movement across the pool.
  • Return Jets Affecting Movement – Aim them downward to prevent water flow from interfering with the cleaner’s path.

Contact the Baracuda team online or at 086 088 7665 for any further assistance. 

If your pool cleaner flips over, it may be due to one of the following issues:

 

  • Hose Weight Incorrectly Positioned – Ensure the weight is placed 1 metre from the cleaner’s head to maintain balance.
  • Hose Length is Incorrect – A hose that is too short or too long can cause instability. Adjust the length as needed.
  • Water Flow is Too Strong – High suction pressure may lift the cleaner off the surface. Try adjusting the flow control valve.
  • Return Jets Affecting Movement – If return jets push water too forcefully, aim them downward to reduce interference.
  • Cleaner Stuck on an Obstacle – Check if it gets caught on steps, corners, or raised drain covers.


For additional support, refer to the user manual or contact Baracuda.

The frequency of running your automatic pool cleaner depends on factors like pool usage, debris levels, and environmental conditions. 

In general, running the cleaner 2–3 times per week is sufficient to keep the pool clean. However, you may need to run it more frequently during peak swimming seasons or after storms to prevent dirt and algae buildup. Daily cleaning may be beneficial if your pool is surrounded by trees or exposed to frequent debris. 

Regular use helps maintain water clarity and reduces strain on your filtration system. Always check the cleaner’s filter or debris chamber after use to ensure optimal performance. For the best results, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific Baracuda model. If you need assistance, contact our team to get expert advice, or give us a call via 086 088 7665.

If your pool cleaner is not moving, check the following:

  • Blockages – Inspect the diaphragm, hoses, and filtration system for debris.
  • Pump pressure – Ensure the pump is running at the correct pressure for proper suction.
  • Hose connections – Look for air leaks, as they can disrupt water flow.
  • Hose weight – Adjust the weight if the cleaner is moving sluggishly or staying in one area.
  • Return jets – Make sure pool return jets are not pushing the cleaner away.
  • Hose shape – If hoses have been stored incorrectly, straighten them in the sun to remove memory bends.

Regular maintenance and proper setup help ensure optimal performance. If issues persist, contact the Baracuda support team at 086 088 7665.

Robotic pool cleaners may stay in one area if their cable or hose is restricted. Ensure there is enough cable available, but keep any excess neatly placed on the poolside so the cleaner can pull in what it needs. Too much cable or hose floating in the water can limit movement.

For suction pool cleaners, the direction of water flow can affect their movement. If your cleaner is not reaching certain areas, try adjusting the water jets (return outlets) to point downward. These jets push water back into the pool and can influence the cleaner’s path. If your pool doesn’t have adjustable jets, you may need a flow diverter, which can be purchased from a pool supply store.

If your cleaner’s hose has become stiff or holds a curved shape, lay it straight in the sun for a few hours to loosen it. Hoses that are bent or twisted can prevent proper movement. Also, ensure you have the correct number of hose sections and adjust the hose weight if needed (it should be 1 metre from the cleaner’s head on the first segment of the hose).
