My pool cleaner tangles into a knot with the hose. The hose is the proper length for the pool, I left the hose out in the sun to erase tangle memory, the filter & skimmers are clean, rebuilt Polaris 360 w/ all new parts (thx to RU-vid), and added a new backup valve (installed correctly). I don’t think I have controls to reduce the pressure...backup valve has a lot of force. Because it was tangling I thought I’d add more swivels thinking it would help but it only tangles worse. Any advice?
Strangely enough, I just bought a new backup valve as a gear broke in my old one. Same problem as you, it was too strong and kept tangling at the outlet. After doing everything conceivable with swivels, hoses and floats, I took old and new gear assemblies apart to see what was different. Only difference was the impellers were angled in opposite directions inside the gearbox??? There is a slight curve. I split the box and pulled off the little outside gear holding it in and put my impeller from the old one in the new one. Pushed the gear back on and problem fixed.. it doesn’t pull as long and hard and moved better forward. I think some knockoff parts were simple molded wrong.
@@EugeneChavez-de6kc put the hose in a large can (like a garbage can) ..add hot water and vinegar..let it soak over night. Will remove deposits like calcium that keep the hose stiff will also remove it from the swivels.
