Kreepy krauly thruster

June 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Hello Group,
I use a Kreepy Krauly in my 20 x 40 in ground vinyl pool. I have had
several attachments called Thrusters that are positioned in the suction
line and intermittently change the Kreepy Krauly’s direction to keep it
random.
The problem is, they cost $80 and don’t really work that well. Does
anybody know of an alternative or some other way to keep the Kreepy
Krauly’s movements random?
Thanks,
Todd Kroehle

    I’ve never heard of those thruster things, but adjusting your return
    jets can make a huge difference. Also, make sure the hose is flexible
    and not too old and stiff. Even that may still leave some spots
    untouched, which I take care of by jumping in and showing it where to
    go. Just did that a few minutes ago, in fact. : )
