Cleaners at bottom of pool dont pop up

Make sure you are in pool mode, and if you are not circulating, then you have a clogged impellar. Make sure the basket is empty and good, clean the impellar, backwash, or clean filter, put valves into pool mode, prime pump, and you will be ok.

It may be that you have one of several possible problems that could be the reason for the symptom you are experiencing:

• Low water flow thru circulation system
  • Dirty Filter
  • Baskets filled with debris
  • Clogged Pump Impeller
  • Clogged suction line between suction port and actual cleaner
  • Clogged/plugged cleaning unit itself
• Worn gear assembly within the LadyBug

There is a switch on these pool cleaners that has options "top, bottom, and automatic". If you have the cleaner set to automatic and it is staying on the surface, try changing the switch from the automatic setting and put it on "bottom" until you get the bottom clean.

It is a pressure side cleaner...the booster pump only boosts the main pumps output pressure so much. Lowering the main pump output, the booster WILL NOT compensate by increasing its output. Lowering the pressure to the cleaner head will cause what you describe. Turn the new pump up to full speed to clean the pool then down lower to circulate water for chemical balance and maintenance.

Make sure that your automatic pool cleaner doesn't have an obstruction in the hose that might not immediately be visible. This could cause it to circulate in one end of the pool. Also, check the water pressure to ensure that it has enough force to travel the entire pool.

If your pool filter and pump are running not and not circulating, it sounds like either your pump is not primed properly, you have an impeller jammed/or broken, or you have something clogging the hose to the return line that is causing pressure to build up. Check all three of these and bet you will find your problem.

Too much suction pressure, rubber feet worn, or springs have popped out of feet

You will find it won't climb walls, but should clean just fine on the bottom area.

Maybe its time to hire a new one.
