How do I improve the suction?

I haven't had any problem with mine losing suction. It has been on my dash since October and has not come loose. Sorry..

Clean the spot where you're going to install it before attempting the installation. Also only use the suction part on the windshield.

Make sure to clean your windshield well and wet the suction cup slightly. Mine has been on my windshield for over a year without a problem.

I've never had a problem with it. Don't Stick it on when your windshield is or has been in direct sunlight. Maybe try wetting the suction cup.. Hope that is helpful.

Twist the knob and the cushion sucks in the air.You can always blow into the cushion for a more firmer cushion.

I get the best suction when I squeeze them short before I put on skin. Hope that helps.

The shoes and wings will make it run better so it must be it isn't getting the suction needed to move it around . I replaced the hose connector that goes to the skimmer and that made mine run faster.

I have not noticed any difference in suction, but I'll pay closer attention next time I vacuum to see if there is! (I'm guessing it's a minimal difference, if any, if I haven't noticed it!)

Sounds like you have a strong motor for your sand filter, I put a 1 horsepower in to replace the 3/4 hp one which died on me and I find I have really push and pull the pole sometimes to move the vac head. I also try to lift up the edge approaching the debris so that it sucks it right up and then the other side does the brushing.....hope this helps....Geo

Try to lightly hold the handle but allow it to spin with the mop instead of holding the handle still. Should help with that.

I would check the bag first to be sure it isn't at capacity and needs to be changed, after 6 months it may need to be changed. If that isn't it I would check in the inlet area to see if anything was sucked in that is now blocking it. I have had no problems with suction problems at all. The first bag I found needed to be changed earlier than the next bag I guess because my old vac wasn't working as well any more so when I initially started using the Miele the first bag got filled a lot faster than I expected. Good luck.

Mine had did that also. I moved it away from the shower but at the end of the shower head and every time I use it I push the plastic holder in so the suction is stronger. Hope that works for you.

The vaccuum really sucks all the air out. Squishing it won't do the full purpose

Good. You can adjust the suction. I have several and with one foot on a corner, can do these easily.

The best way I found is with a vacuum that has a hose attachment and use the soft brush attachment and that should do a pretty good job.

Yes you can. One end of the hose ( right side ) will unhook. There is a little sliding knob that should be closed. It can effect suction.

Use a vacuum cleaner hose set on reverse.Lots of lung exercise also works but it takes a long time ;-)

I actually used my regular vacuun cleaner. I just placed to suction hose over the opening and turned it on. Be suer you lock the valve by turning to the right after you get all the air out. To reopen the bags, simply turn the valve to the left and it will expand. Good luck!

I am using the suctions cups that comes with it. I am thinking of buying move of them. Very handy. I hope this helps.

I use a Shop Vac to provide the suction. On both the inlet side and the suction side, I use a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" rubber coupling with appropriate hose clamps. Works just fine.
