INSTALLATION MANUAL
III. Operation/Periodic Maintenance -
(cont.)
2. Tires & Bearings
The tires are designed to protect the bottom of your
pool and provide better traction. You need to rotate
or replace the tires when edges become rounded.
The Wheel Bearings are warranted free of defects
when shipped from Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc.,
and are considered a wear item. A good bearing will
spin freely.
3. Roller Rings
Your Sweep Hose has a series of Roller Rings to
protect the Sweep Hose. Replace the rings as
needed. You can rotate the Roller Rings to prevent
flat spots.
4. Debris Bags
Fine Mesh Sand & Silt Bag
The Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
comes with a Sand
& Silt bag for general use in all pools. We do not
recommend using the fine mesh bag to pick up leaves
and twigs or other large debris for they have sharp
points and edges that can poke holes and eventually
rip the bag.
Optional Leaf Bag
The leaf bag is a larger mesh bag made to pick up
heavier debris such as leaves, twigs, acorns, etc.
This bag can be helpful especially after a storm.
A Helpful Hint: To prolong the life of bags, remove
cleaner from pool before adding chemicals.
5. Sweep Hose
The Sweep Hose is provided to help keep the bottom
and sides of your pool clean. The Sweep Hose is
warranted free of defects when shipped from the
factory, and is considered a wear item.
6. Debris Valve
This valve is located under the Debris Bag, it is
designed to keep the debris inside the bag. It
functions like a check valve to allow the debris to
only enter through the bag one way. Replacement is
needed when valve begins to stiffen.
E. Back Washing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
from the pool wall before cleaning or back washing
the pool filter. After cleaning or back washing, let the
pool filtration system run for a minimum of five
minutes to flush out the return lines before
reconnecting the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
.
F. Storage and Winterizing
Never leave or store the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
in direct sunlight. When storing the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
for the winter, be sure to drain all the water
from it. This is important since freeze damage is not
covered under the warranty. Also, remove the Wall
Fitting.
G. Accessories
1. Sweep Hose Weight
If the sweep hose tends to break the surface of the
water therefore squirting nearby windows or innocent
bystanders, a weight can be installed to the end of
the sweep hose.
(Part # for Hose Weight is EH09C)
2. Leaf Bag (See Debris Bags #4)
