DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
Important Notice About Your Pool and Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™:
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool.The Kreepy Krauly®Kruiser™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 any pool finish 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® Kruiser™, 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® Kruiser™.
Pre-installation Check List
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide. Failure
to follow these instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool finish or the
vinyl liner, Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these
structures or components of the customer’s pool.
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Before installing the pool cleaner, examine the interior of your pool carefully. Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage
from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary
repairs. Also, if your vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner,
or has damage to the base or supporting walls, do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the
necessary repairs.
Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:
Before installing the pool cleaner in a gunite pool or pool that is partially or completely tiled; check closely for loose tiles and loose
light fittings. Do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for
proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water:
Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to the filtration system
(whether through a skimmer or dedicated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage the pump through dry running and overheating.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed, depending on the pool
size. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It was also not
designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your pool for the season.
AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating correctly:
The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the pool finish.
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to
the pattern caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Pentair Water Pool and
Spa, Inc. is not responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.

Installation
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. Closethemaindrain(bottomdrain)andall
suctionlines,exceptthelinefromtheskimmer
towhichtheKreepyKrauly® 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.

OPTIONAL VACUUM LINE INSTALLATION
Vacuum Line Installation With Adjustable Regulator Valve in Skimmer.
We recommend the use of the adjustable regulator valve to balance water flow between Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™
and the skimmer. When attaching Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™to a dedicated vacuum line, the adjustable regulator
valve should be installed in the skimmer.
Important: Ensure that your Dedicated Suction Port
is fitted with a Safety Vac-Lock Fitting. If not, install
the one that is provided with your cleaner.
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Closethemaindrainandallsuctionlines,exceptthe
skimmer and the vacuum line to which the Kreepy
Krauly® Kruiser™will be connected.
3. Thread the vac-lock wall fitting into the end of the
dedicatedsuction line.
NOTE: Use two wraps of Teflon®tape around the
threads to ensure easy removal.
4. Place the Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™(with the hose
and hose weights) 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.
5. Insert the hose end of the last hose section into the
vac-lockwallfitting.
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
Water Pool and Spa®dealer.)
7. To prevent water from flowing through the top of
the adjustable regulator valve, fasten the regulator
cap onto the top of the adjustable regulator valve.
This activates the adjustable regulator valve and
assures that an accurate amount of water will flow
through the vacuum line and the Kreepy Krauly®
Kruiser™. Without the regulator valve cap, the
adjustable regulator valve and the cleaner will not
functionproperly.

Section 5
Adjustments
After completing the installation, turn the pool pump on. Allow the pump to run for a couple of minutes to
ensure all air cycles out of the system. Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™should be moving about the pool. Check
each of the following initial adjustments to the Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™at this time.
ADJUSTING THE FLOW
1. Turn the pool pump off. Remove the Cleaner and connect the Flow Gauge
to the end of the hose, make sure you keep the hose submerged to prevent
any air to enter into it. Then turn the pump on.
2. With the pump running, turn the Adjustment Knob of the Regulator Valve
“Faster” or “Slower” until the disc indicator in the Flow Gauge settles
between “Maximum” and “Minimum” flow.
NOTE: If you have very strong pump and the flow is still over the
“Maximum” you may need to open the main drain only slightly.
3. Turn the pool pump off. Remove the Flow Gauge and connect the Cleaner
to the end of the hose, make sure you keep the hose submerged to prevent
anyairtoenterintoit. Allowthecleanertodroptothepoolfloor.Thenturn
the pump on.
NOTE: Optimizing the water flow does not mean maximizing the flow
through the Cleaner. In fact, to insure a random pattern of travel that
will enable the Cleaner to reach all areas of your pool, it is better to
use less suction, not more.
RETURN LINE ADJUSTMENTS
Important; the cleaner must move randomly throughout the pool. Water circulating at the surface
will influence the hose thus limiting the Cleaner’s coverage.
1. Adjust the Return Line Flow as
described in the diagrams.
2. To adjust the Eyeball Diverters;
loosen the lock ring and redirect
the Eyeball Diverters slightly
downwards and also try different
directions to see what works best
in your pool. Allow time for the
body of water to settle into the
new pattern.
3. If it is difficult to adjust your
existingEyeballDiverters,replace
the eyeball component with the
newEyeballDiverters(included).

4. Check the Vacuum Seal for wear. If it becomes thin and too
floppy, it will impair the correct random movement of the
Cleaner and should be replaced.
5. Inspect the Foot Pad for wear, when the traction pads on the
bottom have worn down, it is time to replace them.
6. Inspect the Regulator Valve and flush
away any debris build up.
7. Clean your filter system.
8. Empty the Skimmer Basket.
9. Empty the Pump Strainer Basket.
10. Use your Flow Gauge to insure correct water flow for your

Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser™Installation and User’s Guide
IN-LINE LEAF CANISTERS
If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we suggest purchasing and
installing an in-line leaf canister, (P/N R211084 or R211086). A leaf canister will
provide more debris-loading capacity and also provides a water by-pass when the
canister is full. It is very important that the pump will not starve for water!

Troubleshooting
Usethefollowing troubleshootinginformationtoresolvepossibleproblemswith yourKreepyKrauly® Kruiser™poolcleaner.
Problem Corrective Action
Cleaner is sluggish or has stopped operating. Check Cleaner for blockage inside the Flapper chamber.
Refer to Maintenance on page 9.
Clean your filter system, empty pump basket and empty skimmer
basket. Refer to page 4.
Inspect the Regulator Valve and flush away any debris buildup.
Check the hose for blockage.
Check the hose for leeks by lifting each section above water and
listen for the leak.
Using your Flow Gauge, verify proper water flow to your Cleaner.
Refer to page 8.
Cleaner gets stuck on the steps. Adjust the Eyeball Diverter of the return flow towards the problem
area to guide the Cleaner away from the steps.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to page 6.
Purchase the optional 12” or 16” Deflector Wheel.
Using your Flow Gauge, Increase or decrease the flow to your
cleaner within the maximum/minimum range.
Cleaner travels in repetitive pattern. Adjust Eyeball Diverters as described on page 5.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to page 6.
Place one Hose Weight 2” to 4” from the Cleaner head.
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.
Refer to page 8.
Increase the water flow slightly.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to page 6.
Cleaner stays in one side of the pool. Adjust Eyeball Diverters as described on page 5.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to page 6.
Remove or add one hose section.
