Kreepy Krauley Dominator
Kreepy Krauly pool cleaners have in the past alway had a good name, I am however thoroughly disappointed in this Dominator product. Mine lasted for about 1 year and then the axle wore-out. I noticed that Builders now sells a tune-up kit for R 1000 when all I need it the stupid plastic axle which I can't find anywhere and should cost R 10. If you are considering purchasing this product because it looks good and seems like a great idea, DON'T !!!!!!! You have been warned.

16 Apr 2020, 13:43Good day Jeremy. Thank you for posting and wish to respond as follow
the reason why the "Tune up kit" is supp**** is so that all wearing parts are replaced at once to ensure that the cleaner runs properly for another substantial period of time. Please not set up instructions, explaining run time and proper set up to ensure longevity of your pool cleaner.
There are 3 factors that are looked at with regards to creating longevity of a Pool cleaner.
| 1. Suction (Pressure)
| 2. Runtime
| 3. Chemical balance
All our cleaners are supp**** with the flow gauge, these are very effective if the Pool system is running at its optimum. The big problem is the Pool system pressure does change when backwashes are done, Filter sand is changed, the I would suggest opening the Regulator valve in the Weir to its full capacity and rotate the cap on the valve quarterly until the unit climbs the just under the ware level and leave the valve on that setting.
The runtime is determined by your pump you have installed.
Yes variable speed can used, as long as they are set the general ruling app**** where filtration is concerned.
This is used by all pool builders and anyone in the field to determine pump size and Filter for the volume of water at hand.
The calculation of determining runtime is the total volume of water needs to run Pool Volume measurement (Length x Breadth x 1.5 x 1000 = (Volume of water) x 2 = (Total Volume of water)
| How long this takes depends on the pump installed as flow rates differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.
This information is usually noted on the terminal box on top of the motor or on the side of the motor.
The flow rate will be indicated by either Litres/minute (x 60 =) or Litres per Hour or m3h (x 1000 =)
The Total Volume of water is divided by the hour flow rate the pump delivers and this will indicate the running hours per day required for that specific pool.
No more, No less.
Lastly water chemistry is also vital as incorrect water balance can disrupt the Pool cleaner parts makeup.
Too much chlorine can make plastic components brittle, discolour and even change the rubber components compound.
| Incorrect acid application can eat away at the rubber components as this is heavier than water and will sink to the deep end.
| If the cleaner has finished the cycle and lays dormant in the deep end where the acid rests. Then the components will be under attack.
These are the 3 basic factors where any pool cleaner longevity is compromised when not adhered to.
Hope this helps and If all is followed, the cleaner will be working for a long time.
