Eyeball Diverter Positions - Pentair Pool Products Kreepy Krauly Manual

Return Line Water Flow
I M P O RTA N T: The water fl ow from your re t u rn line can push Kre epy Kra u ly 's hose and affect its
performance. It may cause Kreepy Krauly to steer away from the end of the pool where the return line is
l o c at e d, or it may cause Kre epy Kra u ly to remain in one section of the pool. To correct this, use the eyeb a l l
diverter included with your Kreepy Krauly. (If the eyeball does not fit your pool, use the wire diverter
(Part #K121620) accessory available for purchase from your Pentair Pool Products dealer.)
To install the eyeball diverter:
• First make sure your pool pump is off. Remove the original eyeball from the return line at
• the pool by unscrewing the lock ring.
• Replace the original eyeball with the Kreepy Krauly eyeball diverter.
• Replace the lock ring and tighten. Make sure the opening of the eyeball diverter points in
• the proper direction before tightening fully. See "Eyeball Diverter Positions" below.

IMPORTANT: The eyeball diverter must fit snugly into the eyeball fitting. Some eyeball fittings,
like Aqua Leader or Olympic, may be too large for the eyeball diverter. In this situation, use the outer
ring supplied with your Kreepy Krauly to adjust for the discrepancy in size.
• S n ap the outer ring onto the eyeball dive rter and position it in the fi rst gro ove as shown in Fi g u re 14.
• Insert the eyeball diverter/outer ring assembly into the eyeball fitting in the return line.
• Install the lock (retaining) ring and tighten. See Figure 14.

Eyeball Diverter Positions

Position the diverter opening to redirect the return line water flow so it does not interfere with Kreepy
Krauly's movement. Try different positions to see which works best in your pool:
• flow directed along the side of pool (the tile line).
• flow directed downward.
• flow directed against the hose will help steer Kreepy Krauly away from obstructions such as
stairs and ladders.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump on. Kreepy Krauly should begin moving across
the pool floor vacuuming up debris in its path.
