VI. Maintenance
Kreepy Krauly requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect your Kreepy Krauly from time to
time to make sure that:
The flapper is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
The foot pad is not excessively worn. When the traction pads on the bottom have worn
down, it is time for replacement.
We recommend that you leave Kreepy Krauly in your pool, except during chemical shock
treatments. During swimming it is easy to unplug Kreepy Krauly and pull it to one side.
When storing Kreepy Krauly, do not coil the hose. Lay the hose flat in an area protected from
direct sunlight. If hose sections are disconnected, try not to disturb the hose weight locations.
Kreepy Krauly’s hose is specially designed to ensure optimum performance from Kreepy Krauly.
Should replacement be required, insist on genuine Kreepy Krauly hose.

About Your Pool and Kreepy Krauly
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The Kreepy Krauly automatic
pool cleaner is a very passive product that will have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration and brittleness of pool plaster can be
caused separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper
installation and other factors. An automatic pool cleaner, such as Kreepy Krauly, will not remove or
cause wear on “good” pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true—pool plaster will eventually cause
wear on the cleaner.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined inground swimming pools, because vinyl liners are also
affected by the environment and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s
surroundings. Therefore over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools
are affected by the workmanship, composition and installation of the liner and the workmanship and
quality of construction of the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors which can
contribute to liner failure. The existence of any of these type of conditions in your pool is not caused
by the use or operation of Kreepy Krauly. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or
replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool’s
surface, water and deck.
