Hayward Pool Vac Questions

[cschnurr]

I have the same problem with my Hayward Ultra Vac.

My manual states teh cause as one of the following
-Lack of flow through cleaner.
-Partial blockage of throat area
-Worn Shoes
-Worn wings.

Never been able to find exactly what my problem is, but each time I check the hoses and undo the the captive screw at the bottom to clean the throat area. When I put it back in it seems to work fine...for awhile.

I do know that there is a knob on mine labelled I, II, III on the back

Are the shoes to which you refer those little cork thing? Where is a good place to buy parts for the Pool Vac? My little flap thing on the back just broke off.

Yes the shoes are the cork things, the wings are on the side and the flaps are on the front and back.

Usually mine stalls and I find a small pebble stuck in it. To remove it on my Hayward Ultra, this means taking out the captivated screw to the throat area, as well as four screws on the bottom plate.
