Hi everyone,

First of all, THANKS. This is a great forum, I already learned a lot and I am sure to learn even more since I intend to return here frequently!

I had my pool built about 3 months ago and have a question about the pool cleaner. Does the pool pump have to run when the cleaner (has dedicated cleaner pump) is run? That seems to make no sense to me, because what would I have the cleaner pump for if the pool pump needs to run anyway??

My PB told me "yes, because otherwise the cleaner doesn't clean effectively". Does that make sense? Since there is so much pressure on the cleaner now, lots of bubbles are coming out where it is connected and it looks to me that cleaning is not very efficient at all.

Thanks a lot for yuour help.

Olaf
