Answer 1
KREEPY KRAULY cleans the walls and floor of an inground pool, automatically. While KREEPY KRAULY will clean most of your pool, you will need to occasionally brush hard-to-clean areas such as swim-outs or steps.

Answer 2
The way that KREEPY KRAULY works is the key to its reliable, trouble-free operation. With just one operational moving part, it converts the water flow generated by your pool's pump into kinetic energy. Here's how: the water flow first moves the flapper (the only operational moving part) to the top position, causing one drive tube to close. Water is drawn in through the open drive tube, which causes the flapper to move to the bottom position. This repetitive process creates the motion which propels the cleaner around the pool.

Answer 3
KREEPY KRAULY will vacuum away dirt, small leaves, bugs - just about anything that may fall into your pool - and deposit them in your filter for easy disposal.

Answer 4
No. A pool cleaner does not kill the algae; pool chemicals do. KREEPY KRAULY will clean the dead algae along with other loose debris.

Answer 5
Included with KREEPY KRAULY is our automatic regulating valve, a device that controls flow and allows simultaneous skimming and vacuuming. Because KREEPY KRAULY uses only 25 gallons per minute (14 GPM on 94-99 aqua color model) to operate, the average pool system (which operates at 50 - 75 gallons per minute) will have more than adequate skimming action.

Answer 6
No. You don't have to run your pump any longer with KREEPY KRAULY than without it.

Answer 7
KREEPY KRAULY is perfectly safe to swim with. If you prefer, KREEPY KRAULY can easily be disconnected and pulled to one side of the pool or removed from the pool if you choose. Just be sure not to coil the hose on your pool deck when doing this. The hose can become bent or kinked which can hinder the cleaning coverage.

Answer 8
Yes. KREEPY KRAULY works in concrete, fiberglass, tile- and vinyl-lined pools. KREEPY KRAULY is easy on your vinyl liner, with only the soft foot pad and seal in contact with your liner. However, some vinyl-lined pools have deteriorated liners due to pool water chemistry, sunlight, and other factors. Naturally, KREEPY KRAULY can't be responsible for deteriorated vinyl liners. You may want to have a pool professional check your liner prior to installation.

Answer 9
KREEPY KRAULY can be connected to the skimmer or a dedicated suction line. No extra pumps or special equipment are needed, because Kreepy Krauly works with your pool's existing filtration system.
