Mine keeps getting stuck On. The float drops, but the sump continues to run. Any ideas? It is pretty clean..

6 months for me and no such issues. Sounds like switch inside is sticky. May just be a bum one.

Same issue here. I'm fairly sure that mine is overloaded (3/4 or 1 HP pump) and the Triac (electronic) switch inside gets too hot and fails to turn off. Unplugging it for a while to cool down makes it work again for a while. At low duty cycle (off a lot more than on) it works OK. I can't find one that works as well that is rated for lager pumps.

When I got mine out this winter it was doing the same thing but I had put new filters on it and think them weren't soaked yet. I changed the water and restarted it and the thing has been working ever since so that is all the help I can be.

Start with a lower water level and see if that helps. The only times mine has not stayed on for several hours is when the water level was too high.

sometimes mine gets a bit stuck. I just wiggle the spout a bit to loosen it and it works. If not, I do replace mine every 2 years or so as it will give up.

My top, the end with the little funnel, comes off as an assembly with a quarter turn to the left (lefty loosey - righthy tighty). As Lionel says, the assembly is glued, although my funnel slips off (not glued). There is a rubber seal that may be the reason yours is sticking so tightly because I've had a similar problem with whole house water filter that wouldn't unscrew due to a tight rubber seal.

Mine was a matter of moving the weight around. If I put it closer to the cleaner head, it falls off the side and can't climb. (it makes it too heavy) Slide it further from the cleaner head and it goes all the way to the top of the pool wall. Try sliding the weight up or down the hose further until it's the way you need it to be. Make sure the hose isn't getting tangled up too.

Are you filling it to the max fill line? It usually takes a couple of minutes for the water signal to reset. Mine did that and I lightly banged the sides and it started working. If that's not the problem then you may have to call Edge Star for help.

All I could say is make sure your float switch is working right, exercise it a bit (I had to do that once) and see if anything helps. Other than the float switch there is not much else an owner can do.

It could be that you didn't fill the float with water by holding it underwater for a minute or two when you 1st installed it. That was barely mentioned in the instructions but sounds like something that would assist in moving the float down.

I would just try to tighten the pump hose clamp that could have came lose. Also when you put your hand inside the skimmer where the connection is there and tighten that little white ring. With all the water it can untighten I am sure.

Hi George, I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct. Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

It did this at first when it was memorizing my pool dimensions. It would seem to get stuck and I would push it into the water. Now it does sometimes get to the surface and run along the top for awhile, but it eventually drops back under the water and keeps cleaning. I have had mine for 4 months and still works great!

If you mean that the water keeps coming out and overflowing the bowl then check that the float is not sticking on tank plug. If you mean the pump keeps going and shooting water into the bowl that's what it is supposed to do.

Ours isn't circulating either. We filled to the water line and have a slight bubbling, but it barely works. Suggestions?

Mine was doing this. After 5 or 6 attempts to clean etc, I unplugged, removed the water tank, took it outside, tipped it upside down and gave it a good shake. Turned it up again and water started to dribble from the nozzle. Fitted it all back together, and it works again. Small blockage moved.
