The Pentair Kreepy Krauly Classic Inground Automatic Poolside Suction Cleaner utilizes a patented design and construction that has proven itself in over 3 million pools making it one of the most popular cleaners of all time. This automatic pool vacuum uses the filtration system you have in your pool and has only one moving part unlike more complex pool cleaners which have multiple parts.
This particular pool cleaner is designed only for all types of pools, including: all inground, plaster, concrete, pebble tec, vinyl, and fiberglass or tile. Make sure to get the correct model: inground plaster pools here #K70400 – vinyl, fiberglass or tile here #K70405.
This automatic pool vacuum will leave your pool sparking clean. It has a turbo action swivel design that works with the regulator valve to provide optimal cleaning. There is an exclusive directional system incorporated into this pool cleaner which regulates cleaning performance and water flow. The automatic valve sets the idea travel speed so as to ensure a thorough clean.
There are no wheels or gears on this pool cleaner which makes it simple to use. Additionally, the cleaner has a large intake throat which can catch both large and small debris even twigs that fall into your pool.
Out of all the suction pool cleaners on the market the Kreepy Krauly has been purchased over and over again. It can get to hard-to-reach areas and has simple installation instructions. Set up takes about fifteen minutes. This automatic pool vacuum is weighted so it does not gloat to the top of your pool. The suction portion allows it to crawl up the sides and clear the bottom of your pool.
There are a few downsides associated with this automatic pool vacuum. In some pools the cleaner will get caught on the hose, steps, light fixture or other obstacles. To correct this problem there is a wall climb adjuster you can buy for relatively inexpensive (less than $20). Buy it here. See video on it here. As with all suction side cleaners, if your pool gets a lot of debris you may want to consider a separate filter known as a leaf canister. The leaf canister goes in line with the hose catching all large debris protecting your pool filter and pump basket from getting clogged.
The Kreepy Krauly uses a pulsating effect to pick up debris and unlike other pool cleaners it makes an odd, some may say loud, sound as it sucks up debris. Also many people complain about having to replace the main flapper as often as once a year. For a while the flapper had a 20 year warranty and to this day still may.
Overall this cleaner has been wildly successful. However, there have been advancements in technology since this original beast offering quieter and more efficient results. For the money it is a good buy. Compare it to other pool cleaners using our Buyers Guide table. Also read about the top cleaners and which one is right for your pool here.
