We strongly recommend the use of the automatic regulator valve for maximum safety and
performance. The valve automatically adjusts to changes in the amount of water flow to
provide Kreepy Krauly with the power necessaiy to ensure proper cleaning performance.
- 1. Turn the pump off A
- 2. Close the main drain and all suction lines, except the line to which Kreepy Krauly will
be connected. - 3. Thread the snap-lock wall fitting into the end of the dedicated vacuum line
- 4. Install the automatic regulator valve (encased in the strainer guard) into the snap-
lock wall fitting. See The Figure. Next, install the hose adapter into the end of the
automatic regulator valve. See The Figure Below - 5. Place Kreepy Krauly into the swimming pool and allow it to sink to the swimming pool floor. Continue to’ feed the hose vertically down into the swimming pool until it is completely filled with water and
purged of all air. - 6. Remove the hose protector from the female/female hose section and connect it to the end of the hose adapter installed into the automatic regulator valve. See The Figure
- 7. After completing the installation, turn the swimming pool pump on. Allow the pump to run for
a couple of minutes to allow any trapped air to cycle out of the system. Kreepy Krauly
should be moving about the swimming pool at a rate of 8 to 12 feet per minute. - 8. To set the proper speed of your Kreepy Krauly you need to manually adjust the valve
for the vacuum line (located at the swimming pool equipment pad) until the valve body moves
midway into the yellow band. See The Figure
