OPTIONAL ACCESSORY
If using a genuine Kreepy Krauly continuous hose,the length of the hose
required can be determined by adding 1.5 metres to the distance from vacuum
connection.
HOW LONG SHOULD THE HOSE BE?
IMPORTANT: The pump must be on when you check the hose length. The hose
contracts when the pump is operating and will look longer than when the pump
is off.
Position the cleaner at the far end of the pool from the skimmer box. It is easy to
position the cleaner in the pool by moving it about with your pool brush.
The Sectional Hose length should be 1.5 metres longer than the
distance from the skimmer box to the far end of your pool.
Save any spare hose length for use as future replacements.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Under no circumstances should the
hose be stretched or picked up whilst
full of water.
• Never hang the hose from hooks.

• Always store the hose on a
flat surface.
• Do not use any other automatic pool
cleaner hose as the performance of
your Kreepy Krauly will be impaired.
STEP 2
Hose Weights (3)
Hose weights are fitted on the hose at
the end which will be attached to Kreepy
Krauly. The number of hose weights can
vary to suit a particular installation. A
standard three are supplied. Slide the
first hose weight approximately 1 metre
along hose. Slide the second hose weight
approximately 1.5 metres along hose.

INSTALLING KREEPY KRAULY IN YOUR POOL
STEP 1
Circulation System
Thoroughly clean and backwash your filter and clean the pump, strainer and
skimmer box basket.
STEP 2
Install Kreepy Krauly
Gently sink Kreepy Krauly into pool with the hose attached below the surface,
seal first. With the pump operating place the free end of hose over a return to
pool outlet. Water will be driven through the hose and Kreepy Krauly, expelling
all air. Turn off the pump and ensure the end of the hose stays below the water
level, whilst you perform steps 3 and 4 as follows.
STEP 3
Fitting the Vacuum Control Valve
There are two basic types:
(1) Combined Vacuum Plate and AutoSkim Valve. This plate is
supplied as a replacement for your existing vacuum plate. Place the AutoSkim
valve into the opening provided in the vacuum plate ensuring it is seated
firmly. Place the combined unit into your skimmer box making sure it is seated
properly. Place the anti-vortex washer, correct side up, over the valve inlet.
Note: For some installations a retaining device such as a vacuum plate clamp
may be necessary.
STEP 4
How to Install the KleverSkim
Your KleverSkim Valve is designed to automatically regulate vacuum to your
Sprinta to ensure optimal operation. Depending on the Vacuum plate your
pool uses, a different KleverSkim Adaptor will be required.
NOTE: You must install your KleverSkim or the optional AutoSkim
with your Kreepy Krauly or you may void your warranty.
Ensure the water level of your pool is higher than the MiniSkim II Valve to avoid
sucking air or vortexing.
Vacuum Plate Adaptor
For all Vacplates except those shown
below please use the threaded fitting
to install your KleverSkim valve. Install the threaded
fitting by screwing it into the vacplate from the top
as shown. Insert the KleverSkim valve tightly inside
the fitting. Making sure the valve can open freely.
For the Poolrite plate (shown left) Install the Threaded
fitting from underneath the vacuum plate and insert the
KleverSkim from the top.
Polyplastics Vacuum Plate Adaptor
For the Polyplastic 190 Standard and
210mm Standard Vacuum Plate (shown
left) use the Vacuum plate and insert
the KleverSkim valve into the fitting,
ensuring a tight fit.
Polyplastics Vacuum Plate Adaptor
For the SK1000 Vacuum Plate, simply
click the SK1000 fitting into the vacuum
plate and insert the KleverSkim valve
from the top.
STEP 5
Connecting Hose
Connect hose to KleverSkim valve. Start
pump. Kreepy Krauly will start operating
and a soft ticking sound will be heard.
