I recently baught a used pool with all the trinkets that came with it including an automatic pool sweep...
My pool sweep is a DIRT DEMON not a DIRT DEVIL... The previous owner said that I needed some contraptions to hook on the hose, he had evedently lost them, but looked in his cleaner box and there was one spare in a closed bag... I only have 1 on a total of 3 or 4 I think...
Here are the problems that I have... The pool sweep ALWAYS does the same patern over and over, leaving dirt in some spots...
I think it might be due to the fact that I don't have the "hose weights" because the previous owner lost them, I have one thow, I installed it smack in the center of the hose lenth EX: I have 8 x 3 foot tubes so I cliped the fitting on the junction of tube 4 and 5...
OR
I noticed that I have 2 movable floaters on the machine it's self could my floaters be in the wrong position... I can't find or have the owners manual so it's trial and error...
what could be the problem... I leave my cleaner on for 12 to 24 hours and still no success in a clean bottom...
by the way I allways remove the lader even if my cleaner has the contraption for the pool lader I don't want to take the chance...
Here is the link to my machine...

You actually see the yellow fitting on the white hose that I am missing, I think they are hose weights because when I threw the ONLY ONE I have in the pool it sank :)
