OPTIONAL VACUUM LINE INSTALLATION
Vacuum Line Installation With Adjustable Regulator Valve in Skimmer.
We recommend the use of the adjustable regulator valve to balance water flow between Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
and the skimmer. When attaching Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
to a dedicated vacuum line, the adjustable regulator
valve should be installed in the skimmer.
Important:
Ensure that your Dedicated Suction Port
is fitted with a Safety Vac-Lock Fitting. If not, install
the one that is provided with your cleaner.
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Close the main drain and all suction lines, except the
skimmer and the vacuum line to which the Kreepy
Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
will be connected.
3. Thread the vac-lock wall fitting into the end of the
dedicated suction line.
NOTE:
Use two wraps of Teflon
®
tape around the
threads to ensure easy removal.
4. Place the Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
(with the hose
and hose weights) into the pool and allow it to sink
to the floor. Continue to feed the hose vertically
down into the pool until it is completely filled with
water and purged of air.
5. Insert the hose end of the last hose section into the
vac-lock wall fitting.
6. Screw the threaded compression adapter into the
vacuum connection in the bottom of the skimmer.
NOTE:
Use two wraps of Teflon
®
tape around the
threads to ensure easy removal.
(If the opening in the bottom of the skimmer is not
threaded, use a 2’’ hose cone, the 2” hose cone is
not provided but can be purchased from your Pentair
Water Pool and Spa
®
dealer.)
7. To prevent water from flowing through the top of
the adjustable regulator valve, fasten the regulator
cap onto the top of the adjustable regulator valve.
This activates the adjustable regulator valve and
assures that an accurate amount of water will flow
through the vacuum line and the Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
. Without the regulator valve cap, the
adjustable regulator valve and the cleaner will
not
function properly.
8. Press the adjustable regulator valve into the threaded
compression adapter.
9. If your pool does not have a Dedicated Suction Port;
go to “Standard Installation” instructions on
page 6
.
