Kreepy Krauly Pool Cleaners

Kreepy Krauly Optional Vacuum Line Installation

Vacuum Line Installation With Automatic Regulator Valve in Skimmer.
We recommend the use of the automatic regulator valve to balance water flow between Kreepy Krauly and the skimmer.

When attaching Kreepy Krauly to a dedicated vacuum line, the automatic regulator valve should be installed in the skimmer.

Accessories NOT PROVIDED:
Snap-Lock Wall Fitting NSF (Part #GW9530)
45º Hose Connector (Part #K12078)

1. Turn the pool pump off.

2. Close the main drain and all suction lines, except the skimmer and the vacuum line to which the Kreepy Krauly will be connected.

3. Thread the snap-lock wall fitting into the end of the dedicated suction line. Then insert the male end of the 45° hose connector into the snap-lock fitting. See Figure 10.




NOTE: Use two wraps of Teflon tape around the threads to ensure easy removal.

4. Place Kreepy Krauly (with the hose and hose weights assembled and attached) into the pool and allow it to sink to the floor.
NOTE: You will have to remove thefemale/female hose section in this installation.
Continue to feed the hose vertically down into the pool until it is completely filled with water and purged of air.

5. Insert the male hose end of the last hose section into the 45° hose connector or directly into the snap-lock wall fitting.
Reminder: Do not use the female/ female hose section in this installation. See Figure 10.

6. Screw the threaded compression adapter into the vacuum connection in the bottom of the skimmer.
NOTE: Use two wraps of Teflon tape around the threads to ensure easy removal.

If the opening in the bottom of the skimmer is not threaded, use a 2'' hose cone, the 2'' hose cone is not provided but can be purchased from your Pentair Pool Products dealer.

7. To prevent water from flowing through the top of the automatic regulator valve, fasten the valve cap onto the top of the regulator valve. This activates the regulator valve and assures that an accurate amount of water (25 gpm) will flow through the vacuum line and the Kreepy Krauly. Without the valve cap, the automatic regulator valve and the cleaner will not function properly. See Figure 12.

8. Press the automatic regulator valve into the threaded compression adapter. See Figure 12.
