SOURCE: the hayward navigator gets enough suction, there

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

SOURCE: Sweeper does not reach end of pool

Check your returns. They may be getting a flo going in the pool that keeps the cleaner from getting to one end. Usually this is due to the current pushing the floating hose around pool. To fix this simply aim the returns down into the pool rather up on the surface. It sounds like you have enough hose. I hope this helps you good luck.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the answer. I adjusted 2 returns and now the vac reaches the end of the pool. THANKS!"

SOURCE: My Cleaner keeps stopping, if i move it along abit

If you think that your pool cleaner has got too much suction, you need to use the included water flow gauge to test the water pressure. If it is MAX or higher than the indicated minimum, you will need to get a regulator valve from Hayware (V094). This will reduce your water flow.

Navigator pool cleaner just skims the bottom of the pool and does not sit on the bottom, it moves all around the pool but appears to be floating a little. How can we fix this so it will sit and move on the...

Interesting question. Do you have the special Lead Hose, the one with a colored cuff attached to the Navigator itself? Other causes can be, too little or too much hose, a pinhole leak in one of the hoses above water causing the hoses to float, not enough suction on the Navigator. You didn't say if you have the Navigator plugged into a skimmer or in a dedicated suction port in the wall. I would first try increasing the suction to the unit and see if your problem doesn't go away.

My vaccum is about 1 yr old and has very little suction, in addition the sweeper is not working

You probably have a broken belt on the beater bar (sweeper) or a string/rope caught in into to cause it not to turn. Last option if it is a cannister type, that the electrical connection in the hose are not connected to the beater-bar unit well.

If suction is bad, you may have a full bag (replace with a fresh one). Alternatively, you may have a clog somewhere along the hose or just inside the unit.

Should there be a hole in the side of the G3 diaphram?

no, a common place for cracks is near the top next to the plastic ring that holds the diaphram to the tube. this is a common problem with the G3 and G4 diaphrams. other cracks and holes near the center are usually caused by objects that get picked up and stuck or old age.
too much suction and/or use will shorten the life of the diaphram. along with bad water chemistry
