I've got a Barracuda pool cleaner and it keeps getting stuck in the same place. I have an irregular-shaped pool and once the cleaner reaches a certain spot (right in a corner) it no longer moves. I think a lot of it has to do with the hose I am using because once it does reach the stuck position, by that time the hose is running along the side of the pool. I also notice the Barracuda runs backwards only...were they meant to run forwards as well if they reach a dead end? I've heard about weighting the cleaner, but have no idea how to accomplish this or if it would work. I am also wondering if they make a more flexible hose to prevent it from causing the cleaner to get stuck. I think if it were more flexible, it would get stuck less.

Thanks
