This is easy as pie to answer.
Suction pool cleaners move backwards by design, as they follow the hoses. So, it’s important to remember the direction which your pool cleaner moves when you purchase spare parts.
There are other issues where we discuss in other articles what causes your pool cleaner to make odd movements, like flips and wheelies.
But for this one, short and sweet. Just like a car is designed to run on wheels, your pool cleaner is also designed to run backwards so it can work as efficiently.
