Where do weights go on kreepy krauly hose?

34
In pools with both shallow and deep areas, adjust hose weights first in the deep area and then in the shallow. 1. Hose too light. If the hose rises toward the surface at an angle greater than 45° , move the weights closer to Kreepy Krauly, or move the first two weights closer to each other.


Similarly, where do you put the weights on a kreepy krauly?

For pools of 4-7′ deep, use 2 weights, one 4″ to 12″ from the cleaner and one 6′ from the cleaner. For pools from 8′ to 12′ deep, use a third weight, placed 10 ft. from the swivel end of the cleaner. Balancing the Kreepy hose is the term for adjusting the Kreepy weights, to balance the hose and cleaner in the water.

One may also ask, why does my pool cleaner hose get tangled? Hose Length Nothing can cause tangles more than a hose that is far too long for your pool. While you want a little bit of play in your hose, too much is overkill. This results in a hose that just floats in the water. This floating hose is free to move and for some reason loves to move around itself causing a tangle.

Correspondingly, how do you use pool hose weights?

Just Add Hose Weights It's a simple problem to solve. Just add weights to the hose and give the surface robot 2 inches of clearance. Depending on the length of the hose and whether there is a basket, you will need anywhere from two to four hose weights. Hose weights come in different gauges and colors.

Why does my kreepy krauly stop?

If Kreepy Krauly slows or stops and air bubbles enter the pool at the return line. Find and correct the air leak that is causing the pump to draw air: Check the hose to ensure there are no leaks in the hose, or between hose sections. Check the pump basket lid and drain plugs for looseness and worn or missing o-rings.

How do you install an automatic pool cleaner?

Submerge your automatic pool cleaner, so it will also fill with water. If your model has a flow regulator valve, install it on the hose now. Attach the leader hose to your pool cleaner. Allow your cleaner to sink to the pool floor, then turn on your pool pump and let your suction-side cleaner get to work.

Should I run pool pump all the time?

Although it's generally recommended that all the pool water undergo filtration every 24 hours, the pump does not need to run all the time. If your pool is in constant use, you may need to run the pump for up to eight hours per day, frequently checking the water clarity and chemical balance.

Why does my pool cleaner get stuck?

In order to prevent the cleaner from getting stuck in the first place, you'll have to adjust the suction by controlling the water flow through it. The stronger the water flow, the more likely it is to get stuck in one place. You need some suction though or the pool won't get cleaned properly.

Can you leave pool vacuum in pool?

Manual Model
A manual vacuum should be run as long as it takes to remove all visible dirt and debris on the bottom and sides of the pool. For a small, well-maintained pool, this usually takes around 20 minutes. For a very dirty small pool, or a maintained larger pool, it may take around 45 minutes.

Why is my pool vacuum not suctioning?

Suction-Side Problems
If the vacuum doesn't work, it's usually either because air is getting into the vacuum hose or into the suction side of the pool pump. The presence of air in the lines is preventing the system from drawing water as it should.

Why is my pool vacuum moving slowly?

When a suction cleaner is sluggish or slow, it's usually a clogged pump basket or dirty filter that is to blame. Other problems include holes in the cleaner hose, sucking air into the hose. Or the filter pump could be drawing in air, reducing water flow volume.

Do you remove skimmer basket when vacuuming pool?

Remove the lid from the skimmer, and also remove the skimmer basket and float valve. Cover the free end of the vacuum hose with the palm of your hand and quickly lift the hose over the pool deck and into the skimmer through the opening at the top. The suction will hold the hose into the hole and will form a good seal.
