It takes the proven Kreepy Krauly design — one moving part, no bags or gears — and adds more vacuum power, a wider mouth and a finger seal that keeps it moving over drains, corners, fittings and lights. It runs off your existing pump and filter, so there is no booster pump to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne moving part:\u003c\/strong\u003e the silent flapper creates the kinetic energy that drives the cleaner.

The Kruiser adds a wider mouth, stronger vacuum, the finger seal and a built in bumper for better coverage around obstacles, at a lower price than the Classic 360042.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it compare to the Legend or Legend II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legend (LL505G) and Legend II (LX5000G) are \u003cem\u003epressure side\u003c\/em\u003e cleaners that need a booster pump and carry their own debris bag. The Kruiser is \u003cem\u003esuction side\u003c\/em\u003e — simpler, cheaper to run, and it sends debris to your filter instead of a bag. Choose pressure side if you have heavy leaf load and an existing booster pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work on my pool surface?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kruiser is designed for inground pools. It works on plaster, gunite, pebble, vinyl and fiberglass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much hose do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnough to reach from the skimmer or suction line to the farthest point of the pool, plus one extra section. If your pool is large, add hose sections before the first run — the K50656 32 ft hose assembly and K21220 40\" sections are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it climb walls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt cleans the floor and climbs walls toward the waterline. It is not designed to scrub the tile line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does the debris go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight to your pump basket and filter. There is no bag on the cleaner to empty, so clean the pump basket and filter more often during heavy debris season. An in-line leaf trap such as the R211084K reduces how often you need to do this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if it gets stuck or runs slow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the flow gauge and adjust the speed control. Low flow is usually a full pump basket, dirty filter or air leak in the hose connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre replacement parts available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every part on the Kruiser is replaceable, including the seal, flapper, hose sections, weights and skimmer adapters. See the parts diagram in the product images and contact us with the part number you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 year Pentair manufacturer warranty. Register the cleaner with Pentair after purchase and keep your receipt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ps4u-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know which pool cleaner suits my pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the cleaner to your pool construction, size and debris load. Suction side cleaners run on the existing pump and suit fine to medium debris; pressure side cleaners need a booster pump and handle heavier leaf load; robotic cleaners run independently of the filtration system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the part number for this pool cleaner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePentair lists this cleaner under part number K60430. Quote K60430 when you cross-reference against your equipment manual, an existing part, or a parts diagram, so you are comparing the same revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this fits my equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the part number stamped on the component you are replacing, or look it up in the parts list for your Pentair equipment. If your model or serial number is not named on this page, send it to us before you order and we will confirm the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should an automatic cleaner run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost pools do well with a few hours a day during swim season, run while the filtration system is on. Increase run time during heavy debris periods and reduce it when the pool is covered or out of season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I still need to brush and skim the pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. An automatic cleaner reduces manual work considerably but does not replace it. Skimming floating debris, brushing the waterline and keeping water chemistry balanced all remain part of routine care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a warranty on this pool cleaner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries the standard Pentair manufacturer warranty. The terms are set by Pentair, and on some equipment the coverage only applies when a licensed professional performs the installation. Keep the receipt and packaging until you have confirmed correct operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
