Check the Kreepy Kruiser’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 the 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 cleaner out of the pool because it will retain
the coil shape, forming a bend or kink.
Cleaner does not transit onto the wall.
Using your Flow Gauge, verify proper water flow to your Cleaner.
