The Follow The Water Rule (rev. R0898500-HYDR-1.0)

Flow faults are almost always a leak, a blockage or a setting, in that order:

1. Look for air before you look for blockage. A split hose, a cracked fitting or a joint that no longer locks draws air instead of water. The usual signs are bubbles in the pump basket or a dropping water level.
2. Clear the obvious restriction. Debris in a throat, inlet or valve body, and kinks in a hose, cost flow before any component has failed.
3. Check the part that sets the flow. Where a cleaner has an adjustable flow valve or regulator, confirm it moves freely through its range and is set where the manufacturer specifies before replacing anything else.
4. Inspect the sealing faces and the moving parts. A flap, diaphragm or valve that has hardened, torn or taken a set no longer seats, and the cleaner loses suction without any visible leak.

Fitment

Not confirmed: any cleaner other than the FR2000 IQ. This part number appears on that one spare parts list in the 2026 Australian catalogue, so send us a photo of the part and your cleaner's data label if yours is a different model.

When to Replace

• The part is split, cracked, or a joint no longer locks.
• A flap, diaphragm or valve has hardened or torn and no longer seats.
• Suction is being lost with no visible external leak.

Fitting Notes

1. Isolate the cleaner before starting: switch off and unplug a robotic cleaner at the power supply, or turn off the filter pump and remove a suction cleaner from the pool.
2. Work out how the part is retained before applying force, and keep any fasteners in order.
3. Compare the new part against the old one side by side before fitting.
4. Transfer any seals, clips or inserts that are not supplied with the new part.
5. Reassemble in reverse order and confirm the cleaner runs normally before returning it to service.
