If Kreepy Krauly stays at the shallow end or steps.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter. Refer to page 10.
• Check the automatic regulator valve for its proper installation and ensure it is not clogged with debris.
• Check that hose is long enough to reach the furthest point of the pool, including pool steps.
Refer to page 10.
• Check that Kreepy Krauly has proper hose balance in shallow end. Refer to page 9.
• Check to ensure your Kreepy Krauly is operating at the proper speed of between 8 and 12 feet
per minute.
• Check to ensure the dive float mechanism is operating freely and the dive float restrictor is
installed. (See page 5 for how to install dive float restrictor.)
• Shorten the roller bumper strap by 1/2 inch. (Pull out upper end of bumper strap from
locking end clip attached to swivel head. Cut 1/2” off, then return bumper strap into
locking end clip.)
If Kreepy Krauly tracks in a repetitive pattern.
• Check the swivel on the top of Kreepy Krauly. It should turn freely.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter. Refer
to page 10.
• Check Kreepy Krauly’s hose to ensure it has not become bent or kinked. It only takes one
bent or kinked hose section to hinder the cleaning coverage. One way to check for kinks
in your hose is to lay each section flat on your pool’s deck (or other flat surface). The
hose should be perfectly straight and flat. Do not coil the hose when taking your
Kreepy Krauly out of the pool because it will retain the coil shape, forming a
bend or kink.
If Kreepy Krauly gets stuck on pool obstructions such as a safety ledge, ladders, steps, swim-outs,
benches, etc.
• If Kreepy Krauly gets stuck under your pool ladder, install a Ladder Guard (Part
#K12330) according to the instructions contained in the packaging. (This accessory is
available for purchase from your Kreepy Krauly dealer.)
If Kreepy Krauly is still hampered by the unique characteristics of your pool, regardless of the
adjustments we’ve provided:
• Consider “Thruster,” (Part #K3370) the Kreepy Krauly accessory that aids random pattern
coverage by automatically repositioning the hose to help free the cleaner from obstacles.
Thruster keeps Kreepy Krauly out of tight spots in difficult-to-clean or uniquely-shaped
pools. Ask your Kreepy Krauly dealer about this accessory.
TO REMOVE DEBRIS FROM THE FLAPPER
• Sometimes debris may clog the bottom of
the cleaner and prevent flapper movement or
restrict flow. The flapper is located inside the
main body and must move freely at all times.
• You can see the flapper through the opening
in the baffle plate, when you turn the cleaner
upside down as shown in Figure 19. Jiggle
the flapper with your finger or flush the
cavity with a hose to force out any debris
lodged inside the main body.
