KRUISER™ Inground Suction Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide

POOL PREPARATION

Overview

The Kruiser™ Inground Suction Pool Cleaner connects easily to your skimmer or 
vacuum line fitting without tools. The cleaner

 

uses the suction power from your filter 

pump to move across the bottom of your pool, capturing large and small debris. 

•  Built-in bumper assures free movement around steps and ladders for total cleaning 

coverage and uninterrupted, hands-free operation.

•  No bags or compartments to empty or replace, the dirt and debris go right into the 

filtration system.

Before Installation 

Before assembling and installing the pool cleaner, be sure your pool is clean and 
algae-free in order for the cleaner to have maximum traction. If necessary, make 
the following preparations before proceeding.

Note:
