Why is my pool cleaner not working?

Why does my pool sweep go in circles?

Sometimes it gets stuck in the corner of the pool by the steps; other times it goes in circles. This is most likely caused when pool cleaners are left in the pool 24/7. When the water is cold or cools off from a warm day, the plastic in the hose gets a memory and curls slightly.

Why does my pool pump loses suction?

How can I change the pattern of my pool cleaner?

Changing the pool cleaner pattern is accomplished on pressure cleaners by adjusting the thrust jet on the rear of the cleaner.

For suction cleaners, adjusting the hose floats and hose weights can change the cleaner pattern.
