Pool Cleaner Not Moving Fix

If your Nautilus pool cleaner is “just chillin’” instead of cleaning, Nautilus Pool Cleaner Troubleshooting usually points to a few common issues. First, check for Nautilus hose connection problems—kinks, loose fittings, or clogs can stop movement. Straighten the hose and ensure it’s snugly attached. If the pool cleaner is not moving, inspect suction: Pool cleaner suction issues arise from a clogged filter, weak pump pressure, or incorrect flow valve settings. Adjust the valve to balance suction—too high sticks it to the floor; too low leaves it bobbing aimlessly. For erratic movement, verify hose length and weights; too short causes tugging, while excess length tangles. Clear debris from wheels or filters, as blockages mimic motor failure. If the cleaner leaves dirt trails, tweak the flow valve or clean the filter bag. For persistent Nautilus not working cases, check the pump’s PSI (below 10 signals pump trouble) or listen for grinding noises (motor failure). Simple fixes like Dawn dish soap in the skimmer (boosts suction) or nighttime cleaning (stronger flow) can revive a sluggish cleaner. If all else fails, age or worn parts may demand a replacement. Most issues are solvable with basic checks—no need to panic or call a pro unless you spot leaks, strange noises, or algae takeover.
