Vac Unit Only Turns Left
I have a relatively new Hayward Pool Vac XL...it only turns to the left. That causes loops and kinks in the hose. Any ideas?

I'm not a professional, just a pool owner like you, who's had the same problem. It's more than likely a gear issue, but check first. It's easy to take apart (there are on-line demonstrations also) There is a gear box inside. Blow into the opening on the side the gears should turn easily and make a whirring sound if not replace. Sometimes debris can get in there and clog it. If this isn't a problem then the medium gear/turbine could be worn. If your cleaner is more than a year old it is possible. There is a "medium gear/turbine rebuild kit. It's easy to do. Get parts online because they are at least half price of pool stores. This was the issue with my pool vac. I installed the kit and it works fine. But beware, my experience has been that such a repair is a regular occurance maybe once every two years. I got the kit for $37 and pool store selling it for $60. Hope this helps.
