    Not enough suction to pull hose into corners and does a very average job of cleaning. 

    Business response:

    Hi Jim, Thank you for your review! Here are some tips to improve pool coverage: • Use the Flow Gauge to verify proper flow: Increase flow to improve climbing; reduce flow to move the cleaner off the walls. • Ensure the return fittings are directed down. Add return diverters if necessary. • Make sure the hose is not kinked or coiled. Lay the hose in the sun to straighten, if necessary. • Verify the correct hose weight positioning. • Move the hose weight away from cleaner slightly. For deep pools, add a weight. • Confi... read more

    Unit gets stuck constantly, thus leaving debris in the pool unless I constantly free it and move it toward the debris. I've tried adding and removing segments of hose and weights. Nothing helps. It finds one of two spots near the steps and just wedges there. 

    Business response:

    Hi Charles, We're sorry about your poor experience with your new Zodiac G3! We have some tips to try: 1. Use Flow Gauge or Pool Pulse to verify proper flow. Setting at ‘3’ indicates proper flow. If flow is in the low range (0-2): • Check and clean the pool filter and baskets if necessary. • Verify that valves controlling the suction lines are in the correct position. If flow is in the high range (4-6): • Verify that valves controlling the suction lines are in the correct position. • Lower the flow setting on the FlowKeeper... read more

    This probably my third Baracuda, first since you stopped manufacturing them after your patent expired. The Baracuda knock-off I purchased twice in the interim just didn’t cut it. Although the installation instructions were very minimal, going on line and downloading the users manual helped a lot in terms of explaining what I needed to do to ensure a more complete coverage of the pool bottom.

    it keeps getting stuck on the main drain and I've tried changing the direction and other things numerous times and I cannot keep it off the main drain. Also this is probably not really something wrong with the vacuum but I have tiny little sycamore round pods didn't get stuck in the narrow intake slot and the zodiac quits running when that happens. I think this would be an excellent vacuum for people who don't have any trees near their pool and who can control the main drain and turn it off when vacuuming. 

    Business response:

    Hi Priscilla, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your suction cleaner, and we'd like to help. To assist with your main drain issue, we suggest the following: 1) Use return jets to guide the cleaner away from the main drain. 2) Install a Unibridge on your main drain (P/N 5820 white, 5825 gray, 5830 blue). You may want to consult a professional to ensure it will fit your main drain. All the Best, Zodiac Pool Systems
