Barracuda

My Barracuda is moving at a snail’s pace just in the last week. There doesn’t seem to be any damage to it. the filter is clean. I just backwashed the pool two weeks ago. What could be wrong?

Hi Merimcc,

I would inspect your diaphragm to see if there are any rips or tears in it. Here is a link to a Baracuda Pool Cleaner and Key #8 is the diaphragm. You will need to know the model of your Baracuda cleaner to order the correct diaphragm, popular models are the G3 and G4 cleaners.

Thanks, I will do that. But I did replace the diaphragm last summer, so I am hoping it is ok. Although it would be cheaper to replace it than buy a new pump!

Thanks Merimcc,

Please keep us posted!
