Don’t be shocked if at first you see a white cloud appear around your pool cleaner – this is calcium build-up being gently removed from your pool surface for a superior clean. We recommend that after 1 week you clean and check your filter as your pool has now been thoroughly cleaned. Normal routine cleaning of your filter can be conducted after this first clean.

The water flows from the base of the cleaner and is alternately diverted between the two drive tubes. The inertia of the water trapped in each drive tube provides the lifting and propelling motion of the cleaner, which may result in a faintly audible ‘ticking’ sound.

This sound will also assist in diagnosing cleaner and system issues (including your pool pump).

The key to good water quality is the filtration of all your pool water through the pool filter. With other pool cleaners Australia wide, pool water is usually always drawn only from the top of the pool.

But a Kreepy Krauly draws water from the bottom, top and sides of your pool – ensuring circulation of pool water and far more improved water quality.

This helps remove biological particles and fine particles that cause pool cloudiness.

Because your Kreepy Krauly works with your pool pump this cleaning process occurs automatically with daily cleaning cycles and may reduce your need for chemicals.

Your Kreepy Krauly uses no additional pumps or power. It’s truly automated. No lifting the system in or out.

In addition to this, it will also aid in efficient filtering of your water as it draws water through the filter from the top and the bottom of your pool aiding is recirculation and directly removing biologicals matter direct to the filter.

As a true automated swimming pool cleaner should do, your Kreepy Krauly once set up will require minimal intervention. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the clean.

We recommend every few months you check the cleaner for wear and tear and ensure your chemical balance of your pool is correct as this can harm your cleaner.

There’s a very simple fix to your floating Sprinta Plus.

The issue is an air pocket in the front of the cleaner making it float or hover.

You can either disconnect the cleaner from the hose and turn it upside down (under water) rotating the cleaner until the air pocket is dispelled.

Alternatively, gently pull apart the front of the cleaner from the centre seal, under water, to release the air.

We recommend you remove your Kreepy Krauly pool cleaner and hose from the pool when Shocking or putting excessive amounts of chemicals.

The rule of thumb should be, if it isn’t safe to swim in, then don’t let your cleaner ‘swim’.

By removing your cleaner from the pool when performing this shock treatment, it will extend the life of your cleaner and prevent unnecessary damage and wear.
