Step 5. Attach The Hose Weights And Assemble The Hose
The Kreepy Krauly hose comes in sections which must be assembled. You’ll need enough sections to
reach from where Kreepy Krauly is connected, to the farthest part of your pool, plus one section. You will
also have to attach hose weights to the hose
to neutralize the hose’s buoyancy in water.
The number of
hose weights required is determined by the maximum depth of your pool. The deeper your pool, the more
weight is needed. The number of hose weights appropriate for your pool is explained in Table A.
Twist and push the female ends onto the
male ends after dipping the ends into the
pool to wet them. See Figure 6. Continue
until you’ve connected all the sections you
need. After connecting the hose weights
to the hose as described in “Table A”, then
connect the hose to Kreepy Krauly. See Figure 7.
One of the hose sections has 2 female ends.
This section should be fitted last and
attached to the pool’s vacuum connection.
Before attaching the Female/Female
Section to your vacuum connection you will
first need to install the hose protector on to the Female/Female hose section. The hose protector is
used to protect the hose from wear.
NOTE: May substitute 4 inch Female/Female hose.
