Barracuda - its given up the ghost
My barracuddas given up, any ideas? from any hunky pool cleaners? we have done a back wash, checked the pipes, but we are not the most techinical couple in the world when it comes to these things! (let me tune the TV any day)
Before I splash (pardon the pun) the cash on my local Swimart anybody have any ideas ? Thanks in advance C (dirtypoolsville) |
Re: Barracuda - its given up the ghost
1. Check barracuda for obstructions, particularly in the inner rubber sleeve, quite easy to dismantle
2. Remove pump filter and clean 3. Remove skimmer box filter and clean Andy |
Re: Barracuda - its given up the ghost
I think the OH has attempted that will check though - thanks :thumbsup:

Re: Barracuda - its given up the ghost
Sometimes the plastic suction sleeve thingy (yes, highly technical term:D) inside the head of the barracuda can disintegrate over time - the thing sounds like its running but won't move anywhere in the pool. We replaced ours for about $25 i think and it all works fine now.

Re: Barracuda - its given up the ghost
is the water circulating in the pool ok ?
Sometimes, if the level in the filter isnt at right height, you wont get flow. Also have you checked the filter on the pool skimmer box, and the one at the pump end. Its normally not the Barracuda thats shit itself. |
