STANDARD INSTALLATION
For pools with one skimmer, using the adjustable Regulator Valve.
The advantage of this installation is that the adjustable regulator valve balances the water flow between the
skimmer and Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
. We strongly recommend the use of the adjustable regulator valve for
maximum safety and performance.
The valve can be adjusted to changes in the amount of water flow to provide
Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
with the power necessary to ensure proper cleaning performance.
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Close the main drain (bottom drain) and all
suction lines, except the line from the skimmer
to which the Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
will
be connected, as shown below.
3. Remove skimmer basket.
4. Screw the threaded compression adapter
into the vacuum connection in the bottom
of the skimmer.
NOTE:
Use two wraps of Teflon
®
tape
around threads to ensure easy removal.
(If the opening in the bottom of the skimmer is not threaded, use a
2” hose cone. It is not included with your Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
,
but can be purchased from your Pentair Water Pool and Spa
®
dealer.)
5. Press the adjustable regulator valve into the threaded compression
adapter.
6. Place the Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
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.
7. Slide the hose protector sleeve into position on the furthest hose from the cleaner that will be connected
to the regulator vlave in the skimmer to prevent the hose body from rubbing against the skimmer wall.
8. Insert the end of the hose through the skimmer opening and connect the hose directly into the adjustable
regulator valve.
NOTE:
The Regulator Cap is not used in this installation.
POOL WITH TWO SKIMMERS CONNECTION
1. If your pool has two skimmers, select one skimmer for the cleaner and
close off the other skimmer with the pump valve.
2. Connect the end of submerged hose into the selected skimmer the same
way as shown above in
the “Standard Installation” instructions.
