A HISTORY
OF INNOVATION
Kreepy Krauly is unique vortex cleaning
action was pioneered by Ferdinand
Chauvier, a South African hydraulics
engineer. This first Mark II cleaner
although revolutionary in its solution to
pool cleaning, was heavy, inefficient and
did not withstand harsh pool conditions.
Terry Jackson, Managing Director of
Sherwood Overseas Company, a Western
Australian manufacturer and exporter of
above ground pools, brought the product
to Australia and set about refining
the Mark II cleaner for the Australian
market. Every single component was
completely redesigned and new materials
were selected to enable the machine to
be totally manufactured from durable
injected moulded or extruded plastics.
The Kreepy Krauly "Mark II" was launched
in Australia in 1976 and was an immediate
success. Sherwood was soon exporting
the Australian-made Kreepy Krauly to
over 19 countries.
